I've got a cyano problem. The stuff is spreading on everything. I've cut back feeding and changed the water at a by-weekly rate. I don't know what other options I have... I hate to cut the lights back as I have clams, SPS, and anemones (Ritteri and Rose). Any suggestions on a cure for...

Generally, water flow is what they want. I've found mine lay over when they aren't getting enough flow. As they get bigger they like a little more to help support the mass. Eventually they'll require a trim. Attach to LR rubble and sell the pieces after the secure to the new rock.

The one with what looks like its guts coming out is expelling waste. Their mouth is their butt too. Should be done in a day at the most. No worry. The one with 3 mouths is giving you BANG for the BUCK. It is splitting likely into a 3 for 1 mushroom. In a few days the split should be...

I thought the flow was pretty good. But I've never kept this type of coral before. How much flow do they need? Can I get rid of cyano? How??

100% sure. They aren't even on the same side of the 90gal tank. Unless the Ritteri is moving the length of the tank a night and getting back to the exact location by morning... not even likely though. I've never seen a sting leave a red slime on a coral either.

My pink monti cap is not looking well. What can I do? I initially had it under 250W MH toward the top of the tank. It was under 400W MH at the store it was purchased from. This tank is very mature. Calc reactor, superb water quality. I've had a Ritteri growing (yes getting BIG) for 5...

Drinking RO/DI Okay, in my "EXPERT" opinion. Yes, you can drink RO water. I'm in the Navy. We spend 2/3 of our life on the ocean. We have 2 RO's onboard. They each make about 12,000 gallons of "drinking" water per day. The only thing we add is bromine to kill bacteria. With a crew of 340...

For Coralvue and XM Metal Halied bulbs has anyone else tried Inreefs.com? I've shopped there several times now and I'm quite pleased with their shipping prices and cost of bulbs.

How about, attempting to lay eggs and during the process in which they clean the area intended for receiving the eggs, they rubbed them off.

Ich Try a couple Neon Gobys. They cleaned the Ich off my tang and large tomato clown. Since I put them in my tank, I've not had another problem with Ich.

Remember, clownfish are from the Damsel family. By design they are ill-tempered and territorial. I thought I could get away with a mated Cinnamon pair and Tomato Pair in a 90gal tank. WRONG! The Red&Black was hammering the Tomato and I ended up moving the Tomato pair to my 37gal tank. All...

Ture and False Well, to keep nature in a correct context, I put the false in my 37gal. It has already taken to my frogspawn as a host since the bubble tip has a mated pair of Tomato Clowns as guests. I bought the Misses a new Mister (true percula). She didn't like him during the day, then...

If you have a female True Percula and a male False Percula will they eventually form a pair? T + F = Mated Pair :?:

The mouth opens and closes daily. Most of the time it's locked up tight. Just before the moonlights came on tonight, all the tentacles deflated and the mouth was open. It spued some gunk (du du) from the mouth. I haven't noticed the mouth closing up tight yet but it's only been an hour. Are...

I was told this was a Ritteri when I bought it... Then I found a real Ritteri and suspect this isn't one. Any idea what type of Anemone it really is?

Need Help guys, I have a pair of true percula, and nearly lost the male today. The female was in a panic state, and he was not to be found, until I looked the micron bag in my sump. Shaken & Stirred he was returned to the tank but seems though he'll pull through. (?) I lost 2 citron gobys to...

This is what we use to forum for, RIGHT? HELP! Please... I don't know what this stuff is. My tank (90gal) has been up and running 2 weeks now. It is still cycling, no fish or inverts... This black gunk looked like a form of macro algae at one time. I've been trying to scrub it off the...

I've got an Arabian Psuedo. I would like to find a mate for him/her. Is there a way to ID the male vs female of this species?

Moonlight Try http://www.lsdiodes.com/ They have the 5mm blue led 4000mcd for 1/2 the price ($.45) of others and they also carry the 56ohm resisters in 5 packs for $.25 and shipping is very reasonable. Great/Fast service too!

Anemoneman is "THE MAN" THANKS A-TON!!! I'll be giving it a try in the AM.

So... my wonderful wife bought me a 90gal tank for my birthday :D in March. 48"Lx18"Wx24"H. It has an trapezoid style overflow. I built a custom stand with help from my neighbor (he builds fun centers for a living). I finally picked up 113lbs of LR today and 80lbs of sand (60 caribbean/20...

I bought a juvenile tomato clown about 2 months ago. It took him about 2 weeks to figure out what an anenome was. Now, he's hard to get out of it. That's not a big deal until I have to feed the anenome. My buddy doesn't have to feed his anenome. His clown (a Cinnamon) takes food to the...

Anenome Moving I've got 2 BTA and one of the BTAs moves a lot. The other pretty much stays put. I wonder if it gets sensitive to the light, because he moves to the bottom of the tank, then after a few days he's back to the top of the LR again. I only have one clown (Tomato) and he two times...

fed... finally Well, I get my BTA to take shrimp tonight. First a tiny piece, then once he figured out the food thing, I gave him a slightly larger piece. I now know it is a SLOW process. I think it took him nearly 1 hour to eat the 2nd piece. That was moving it to the mouth and actually...

I'm wondering how do I feed my anemone? I tried giving it small smashed pieces of shrimp that had been soaked in a vitamin supplement. When I placed the piece on him, he started to close on it... then he opened back up and the piece sat in there until a cleaner shrimp held true to his name...
