I have a Marineland Tidepool under my 125 gallon tank. It has a large bio-wheel. Tank has been running for about 4-5 months. I have been battling hair algea for awhile and am starting to get the upper hand. My nitrates read 0 ( I recently installed a nirate remover) but I am afraid it may be...

I have a quick question about my live rock. My tank has been set up for about 4-5 months. Most of my live rock is turning green. My phospates are 0 as well as nitrates. I have a clean-up crew of snails crabs. I had a outbreak of hair algea which is coming to an end and I am wondering if the...

I bought a new light for my 125g tank with MH lights and 50/50 flour. I am now developing a hair algea problem. I have researched the threads and gathered some info. My water parameters are what they should be including nitrates at 10 or less. I am feeding every other day frozen brime shrimp...

I have recently added better lighting to my tank of about 3 months. The new lighting consist of 6.7 watts/gallon including mh and flouresents. The same day the light was installed I replaced skimmer with an asm g1x skimmer for the 125 gallon tank. Ammonia is 0, NO2 is 0, NO3 is 5-10, sg is...

I have a 125g 6' tank and I have just upgraded my lighting from under 400 watts to 834watts including mh bulbs. Much brighter. My question is, I have some zoas and a feather duster that have closed up since the new light has been installed 2 days now. Are they just adjusting to the new light...

I have a 125 gallon tank that has about 75 lbs of live rock and has been set up for about 2-3 months. The lighting I have is not enough for the lr. I am going to get a new fixture this week and think I have decided on one. It is the Coralife aqualight pro fixture. It is the 72" version with...

I bought a BTA yesterday and after putting him in the tank, he did great all day. As soon as the lights went off, he let go and began to roam. Today he is still on the move. I have good parameters on the water, 0 ammonia, 0 NO2 and less than 10 NO3. SP is where it should be for him. I have...

I currently have a 125 g tank with a standpipe drain on each end. On the standpipe is a sponge filter with a float on top. I want to do away with the sponge filter and use something I have seen once. It was a plastic type silencer that went on top of the 1" pipe. Can anyone direct me to...

I got my set-up used so I am not sure of the brand of some of the items. I do know that my filter system is a Marineland Tidepool 2 but I do not know about the skimmer. My question is, it appears that the skimmer is to be set up withen the sump tank and the water from the main tank drains...

I have a question about something on my clown Trigger fish. I know that ich looks like small pen sized dots on the fins and gills but this looks like baby powder on him. I have had him for about a month and he has been fine. I did not quarintine him because I am new and did not realize that...

I am new to salt tanks and I have a quick question. I have done some research on the benefits of the Mangrove plant but I have not been able to determine if the plant is to be totally under water or just the root system. Can they be added to the main tank or do they need to go in the wet/dry...

I am new to salt tanks. I have started a 125 gallon fish/partial reef tank and have brown algae. I know vendors will say that I need a nitrate filter but do I really? Is it worth it for what they cost? Does it cut down on water changes that much and does it help to control the algae?

Does anyone know anything about the Marineland Tidepool undertank filter system? I got it when I received a 125 gallon tank. I am setting up a saltwater fish/partial reef tank. Is it suitable or will I need to upgrade?
