So my refugium has grown to capacity, I need to remove alot of the macro algae that has actually started growing out of it (it dies quickly) and what way should I solve this problem? Thanks!

So this morning the light on my 28g nano cube turned on and I think I blew a fuse, because it went on and then they shut off immediately. How do I repair a blown fuse?

that's what I thought, thanks just making sure

This may sound like a stupid question to most but i would rather be safe than sorry, i'm getting ready to do an iodine dip for my finger leather coral and I was wondering if "iodide" and "iodine" were basically the same thing.

Whats the best way to do an iodine dip, like the water/iodine ratio

Thanks! That's really reassuring, just curious though what do they look like when the do have drop?

Yesterday I bought a finger leather coral and the polyps still haven't come out and it looks really droopy I'm worried it's dying. I don't have any problems with my tank because I also bought a hammer coral and it's thriving, everything in the tank looks awesome except the finger leather coral...

So I have this red algae all over my tank, and I was wondering if anybody knew how to het rid of it. Its just a thin layer of red over alot of my rock on the walls a little and on the sand, it also looks like it has trapped bubbles under it all

nice having a 3 would be cool

So I know that they're not harmful, but it's getting a little ridiculous, the amount in my tank. Anybody know of something that will eat them? I want to get rid of them naturally, no killers or anything (I don't even know if those exist).

yea i definitely love inverts, but thanks, i was also thinking of a possum wrasse good to have a second opinion!

Sooooo I have an extra 10g tank and decided to make a sweet little nano reef out of it....well actually haven't started, but was wondering if anyone had some cool ideas on the setup and just some favorite nano corals/inverts/fish. Since I've got some experience know I really want to just have...

Does anybody know of some reliable websites where you can buy aquarium parts and tools, specifically for marine aquariums, I'm looking to buy a sump, because my hob filters just arent doing the job. So if you know of one please let me know.

if your using pvc pipe for your refugium to do all the plumbing, is it ok to use the all purpose pvc cement to keep them from leaking and separating as long as you wait until it dries completely?

So how much water does a 1/4" pvc pipe gravity fed drain from the tank hourly? (In gph)

I always see aquariums with perfect looking sand beds, and not that mine is totally gross, but it could use some improvement. Any helpful knowledge? Thanks, Ben :fish2:

So I want to make a refugium, I'm gonna try to do the whole thing myself. Can someone maybe give me a list of supplies, and directions? Or if not, a link to a site would be great too. Thanks!
