Ok thanks. Question, can the saltwater being brought in have the red algae?

Did you get rid of the algae? I have red algae all over my rocks and can not seem to control without scrubbing weekly. Any ideas.

Hello, have a small Yellow Watchman. Bought him in the normal yellow color with the blue dots. Seemed to be stressed out when he entered the tank. 65g reef with docile fish. During this time, he started to get dark brown/black vertical stripes on the back half of his body. he is happy now...

Hello, Did a 10% water change tonight on our tank. Saw what looked like copepods swimming around in the filter area? Are these Ok for the tank? I figure the wrasses would eat them. Thanks, Squallius

I have a 2" pink anemone, relatively thin, which came with the live rock. is this bad for the tank. Mostly invertebrates in the tank. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks, Lou

The tube looks empty now. Just leave it in the tank for a few days?

Large feather duster was doing fine for 2 months in new tank. Did 10% WC on Monday. Feather duster left it's tube and went into a hole. We could see it in there yesterday but it was closed up. Today we checked again ad there is no sight of it.

Sounds good. Thanks.

Nice new tanks. The background looks great.

I agree. I am going to start the water changes. I think definitely has something to do with it. I am probably not exporting any of the nutrients. I have some old salt from about 2 years ago. Should be OK? I am going to mix in a few gallons of the distilled water.

last fish, the Queen Anthias died about 10 days ago. The Diamond goby still alive and seems to be doing Ok, except for the occasional visits to the surface for gulps of air? Have not done a single water change. Add about a gallon of distilled water every 2-3 days, right into the section...

Hello, My Diamond Goby has been going up to the top of the tank near the power head and putting his head out of the water. Any thoughts, or similar experiences? Thanks, Lou

Hello Mr. X, I bought the Test Kit you recommended, and got the back-up reading from the LFS. here's the parameters: pH= 8.2 Amonia= 0ppm Nitrite= 0ppm Nitrate= 15 to 20 ppm Salinity = 31ppt/1.023 Have not done a water change. The Ich on the Diamond Goby seems to have gone away. Please let...

Thank you.

Hi, Where do you but RO water? Do you know if Purifed water is OK? Thanks, Lou

Hi, What type of water to you use to replace the evaporated water? I started a new tank 2 months ago, and have been using distilled water. What do you think? Thanks, Lou

Not really worried about the tan stuff in the tube then. It's hidden underneath. I am going to buy the test kit today, and try to get a 20%water change this evening. I'll post the results and go from there. Can't believe I am having so much trouble getting started with the fish.

I have a bunch probably about 60 pounds 7-8 pieces. Loaded with purple coraline.

Just went to your profile. My set-up is almost identical- bought everything new in January ( small fortune). I think I have the same tank and the same filter. Only difference is that my Protein Skimmer is right in the acrylic container with some fitlering material. I will get a picture on...

The tank is drilled, Goes straight down to the filter system in the bottom.. need to become familer with the filter system to get the most of out it. Will send pictures soon. Thank you, Lou

Want to add a black banded Goby ( had 3 before- all died - not sure what they are called- but they have several black/white thick vertical line, with a little yellow, Long Dorsal fin) to pair-up with the pistol Shrimp. Was told the atlantic pistol shrimp will not pair-up with any pacific...
