    New bulps + puple-up?

    So I recently replaced all 8 bulbs on my t5 ho lighting system on my 46 and added purple up.

Sadly my...

    Tank buddy for 6 line wrasse?

    Right now the only fish in my 46g is my six line wrasse which I totally love because it lives 100% off the tank and looks and acts great. I'm looking to make a few* additions to the tank......(the wrasse has sort of taken over.....I had a few chromis but the wrasse picked them off) any low cost...

    Phosphates?

    So I finally got my tank to stabilize when I made the worst mistake of topping off for about two days with the wrong water..... I usually buy distilled but this time accidentally bought purified which supposedly can spike phosphates. This spike has caused cyano to take off.... Are there any good...

    Will kenya tree spread?

    I have relocated my Kenya tree so it is no long secluded. It's suck on a shell that I tucked into a large rock. Will it spread by itself to the rest of the rock? And how does it do it?

    Thoughts on rock....

    So I have been making small purchases of liverock over the last few months whenever it's on sale. I have found that every time I add a new piece some sort of problem erupts. So now I'm at the point where my tank is stable with 25+ pounds of live rock, I'm wondering if it would be a better choice...

    Kenya tree....

    So I got a nice Kenya tree frag a while back. It has grown pretty substantially but was in the Sand so it did not really spread. I recently moved it to a crevice on a big price of rock. Will it spread and if so how fast? Thanks

    Distilled vs ro water?

    Please help. The beliefs of my lfs owner seem to be different then what my research has showed. I thought ro water was better then distilled but apparently ro water is what's giving me phosphates:( opinions please

    Fragging corky sea finger??

    My latest addition has been a HUGE colony of corky sea finger..... I'm looking at doing some fragging in the future. Any tips? I'm gonna probably get some sort of frag tray to put them on but basically the extent of my fragging knowledge. Note: the green stuff in my take is not hair algae...

    Turbo not moving??

    Help! My new turbo has not moved in over 1.5 hours. I don't think he is dead because the crabs are not on him and the other one I got with him is alive and well.. Is this normal?

    Flow?

    Is 2600 gph too much flow for my 46g? It's a lot of current but it seems very beneficial to the tank.

    Hair algea???

    This stuff is spreading like wild fire!! My water has remained perfect even before the stuff was growing. Is there any fish that can productively keep it at bay?

    Got a new sixline wrasse!!

    Got this new fish today at my lfs. He looks great and I gotta him at a good price. Just wondering what people thought about this fish? I almost got a yellow tang as they were on sale but stopped myself because I think most would agree 46g is a little to small a tank.

    Diatom algae bubbles?

    This brown algae is showing up everywhere in my tank and seems to grow back in hours. I have noticed hundreds of little bubbles on top of the algae wherever it may be. Has anyone else experienced this bubble phenomenon? And is the algae causing it?

    Brown algea tiring me out

    I recently upgraded my lights to an 8 bulb ho t5 system on my 46g. The brown algae is just taking off over the sand and acrylic. My water quality is perfect right now so I'm guessing it's just from the lights. Any tricks to get it to go away? Could more flow help?
