Hello all, I am having difficulty with green algae. It is starting to smother some polyps. I have removed some by hand, but it grows back faster than I can remove it. I have kept my lights off for a couple of days to try to stop it, with no luck. I will give you a description of my tank...

Thanks Hello, Thanks for the information. I will go out and do a change today. I will test the water. The only change that has happened recently was: I started to feed a smaller portions. I was getting a red algae and posted on here a couple months back. I was told that I was probably...

Bulbs are about 1 year old. Is this to old? Is there anything that will eat this bacteria? Could be excess feeding, I will cut back and see if that helps. Any suggestions to get rid of it would be helpful. Louis

I buy my water at the Fish store, I believe it is RO. The algae is slimy and has bubbles on it. It is not bad now, but I am afraid that it might get worse if I don't deal with it now. Thanks, Louis

Hello All, I have a nice looking leather. I have had it for about 6 months. It is still polyping out, but beginning to wilt. I ran all my tests yesterday and all was well. Can anyone recommend a way to make it stand up (Besides adding Viagra :lol: ), should I be worried? Thanks...

Hello All, Hi guys. About 6 weeks ago, I got this great Idea to buy some more live rock. I checked the local fish stores and there wasn't a really good selection. So I ordered some online. It came pretty quickly. I immediately cleaned it off a bit in a new bucket with salt water in it...

One of my first purchases was a dragon wrasse. I know now that he should not be in my tank. My dilemma is I cannot catch the darn thing. I pretty much removed everything from the tank today. He disappeared, I figured he went under the sand. I sifted almost the whole tank, no luck. What is...

I posted a question about MH lighting last week and Bound_for_OBX sent me this site. All looks good to me, but I am very inexperienced. I would like your opinion on if this would be a good purchase. I have a 36" power compact now and was thinking about going for MH, but the price was pretty...

WOW :D , Thanks for the info. Has anyone esle had experience with these? And do they have a bluish bulb at all? Thanks again. Louis

Thanks for all the information about MH lighting. I went out to Dallas North Aquarium to look last night. They didn't have a very good selection. What they did have they quoted me at about $600.00 for 2x250 set up. Is this about the price I should expect to pay?? Can you give me some good...

I will post some pics tomorrow Sorry, I have been working some really long hours, haven't been on the computer lately. I will post some pics tonight or tomorrow, I left my camera at work. Louis

Hello, Well, I guess I am ready to upgrade my lighting system. I have a 36" Power compact with Daylight, twilight and moonlight. I thought it was pretty nice, but I am beginning to realize I should go with a Metal halide set up. My aquarium is 62gallons. 36 inches wide and about 20...

Hello all, I am, finally getting rid of my Dragon Wrasse. This was one of my first fish. I didn't research at all before bought it and trust me I learned my lesson. I am going to trade it back to the Fish store I bought it from for the price I bought it at, good deal. I was thinking...

That looks like what happened. I just pulled them out and I will say a prayer before I go to bed. Does anyone know what these might be??? Thanks,, Louis

Hello Everyone, I have a problem that I hope you can help with. I have had a beautiful Soft green metallic brain coral for about 5 months. Well the last couple of days it has shunk up and has not plumped up when the lights are on. I have not made any changes and all of my tests come back...

Thanks for the reply. Well, I guess that I put a little to much faith in the Salesman at the fish store. He told me how I needed one in my reef tank to get rid of any parasites that come up. I have learned my lesson and will read up on any fish that I purchase. I wish I would have checked...

Hello all, I purchased a cleaner wrasse last week. It did well the first day but sometime during the night it died. I took it back to the fish store, they tested the water and said that all was well. They gave me another, The new one lasted 4 days and last night it died. If the water...
