I would add a nice piece of driftwood. I will soften the water, and will bring PH down naturally and gradually. It looks nice too :) Waffleman

Hi there, You could try Seaweed Selects,Green Marine Algea . My tang went crazy over that, my angel loves it too. Just a small piece on a veggie clip... Waffleman

yes it is one complete unit. Just put in on a timer and off you go. I have 1 of of these coralife fixtures over my tank, it lays on the glass cover. Awesome product, awesome price too. This is the link: http://www.hellolights.com/201xcoaqpcho.html HTH Waffleman

Thanks for the feedback. I've moved that thing all over the place in the tank, High, low, indirect lighting, lots of flow , moderate and low flow. It is still hanging in there but it is starting to get yellowish spots. Just yesterday did I move it over in my 5G quarantine tank. This way I can...

find below a picture of my newest purchase: It believe it is some type of mushroom. It is brown with some pinkish tips on it. Does anyone have more info this ? http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=5016&size=big&password=&sort=1&cat=508 Thanks in advance. Waffleman

For a comprehensive list of slow growers, I recommend an advanced search on the Tropica website. Their list is quite extensive, you should be able to find some stuff to your liking. My choice would be micro or pygme swords for the foreground. HTH Waffleman

Osmocote works fine if you put it in the bottom layer for the substrate. When I inially set up my tank, I used kitty litter (=pure clay) as the bottom layer and added some osmocote to it. theen I covered everything up with Fluorite. The plants grow like mad and no algea problems. now I add 1/2...

You could easily raise KH by adding baking soda, 1 tsp per 20G will increase KH by a small amount. You should keep monitoring. That is something I've been doing in different tanks. You may notice that the PH will go up slightly, due to the increased buffering capacity. I found the most...

LFS means local, not nationwide. I generally stay away from that place. but once I had a good deal there when the people didn't know what they were selling. Just brown plants or green plants. I actually ended up with a big bushel of Alternanthera reineckii (nice red stuff after I got it in the...

This was actually happy to see this type of algae. I was told this is a good sign. :? So I scrape it off every 2 to 3 weeks, It only comes back very lightly.No harm done. Waffleman

Julicat, the 50/50bulb will encourage algae growth. I would get a 6700K or 10000K bulb. Those 50/50 bulbs are great for reef tanks, as they need coraline algae. Waffleman

I believe the real answer is that what is important is the Lumens that the light puts out. As one pointed out a PC of the same wattage will put out more lumens (units of light) than a regular fluorescent bulb. What goes along with brightness is the Color temp. of the bulb. What our eyes/brain...

pagoda cup coral Thank you Steve for the quick response. I have 3x 65 Watt PC 1) 65W 03actinic 2) 65W 50/50 3) 65W 10K It is placed more to one side about half way down. I've tried many different places to no avail. The only things close by are some mushrooms and a frag of a...
