Thanks for the help guys :)

Water changes I use the salt water from the lfs. I use ro/di to top off also from the same store. I've had them test it and it's always reads 0. And I use pellets most of the time. I barely use frozen food maybe a small amount once a week.

I've looked through several other threads and I just cannot get this green hair algae to go away. Right now I'm running my mechanical sponge and then some purigen as chemi pure elite and about 10 pounds of live rock in my back chambers. I have a 20gal reef. I top off with r/o water which I've...

So I wanted to know for my 20 gallon reef setup. Would it be ok to have the mechanical sponge first. Then activated carbon sponges. Then chemi pure elite. Then in the big middle chamber live rock. Then it's my return pump. Note: the chemi pure isn't in yet. Image attached

I have been looking at this tank and wondered if you need to modify it in any way, for example if you need a sump or external plumbing? I just want to use the tank as it is. But want to make sure that I don't have to modify it in any way. Thanks

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my Yuma. It is starting to go black on the right side.

So they are not going to do any harm on my tank?

I have recently seen these things coming up through my sand. They are a brown color and I want to know what they are? I've attached several photos...

Thank you!

I have seen some white spots on some of my rocks and power head. I have one rock, the one with the kenya tree on it that has the most on it. I think this may be the source of them. What I want to know is what are these small white spots? They kind of have a circular pattern. Like one long...

I can't really tell but I don't like the look of them. I did a fresh water dip before I added them and a small worm came off. Not the same as these though.

So I bought some green mushrooms not so long ago and I have noticed these white leg kind of things coming from the rock they are on. I'm unsure of what they are and are hoping someone can help me out. I've attached several photos.

So I just looked up copepods and I think this is what they are.

They are that small I can't really make out what shape or form they are. They could possibly have a really small tail at the back maybe like a third size of their total body. But I mean these things are smaller than a grain of sand. I just don't want them to hurt anything.

So I have just turned my light on now to quickly look at my tank before bed. I see these tiny white things on the glass moving around. They are really small I can only just see them. They seem to be kind of swimming on the glass. I have seen probably about 20. But I suspect there are more. Can...

Thanks for the info chbix and Big Tex. I really appreciate it. I really like the canary blenny but it says that it's poisonous? So I think I will go for the Midas blenny. They look really nice.

Wow that makes me not want to go get one. What other fish could I house in there along with my current livestock?

Could it possibly be that my API nitrate test just sucks and it's not giving the right results?

I am thinking of getting a six line wrasse for my 30g fowlr. Current stock 2 small ocellaris clowns and 2 small green chromis. Will the six line kill my peppermint shrimp? Or hermit crabs? Or even the other fish?

Thank you sniper!

The tank is 4 months old. And I clean the sponges out once a week. Do I need to do it more often? Thanks for the help everyone!

I feed a variety. The new life spectrum pellets I think they are called. Then this frozen stuff called Rogers which has like shrimp, octopus and other meats in it then sometimes I put some purple seaweed but remove if it all doesn't get eaten. I don't feed all this in one day. One day I'll feed...

I can't seem to lower my nitrates. They stay at about 40ppm. I am running a 30g fowlr. 30lbs live rock. 20lbs live sand. 2 small ocellaris clowns, 2 small green chromis. 5 hermit crabs. 5 nerite/margarita snails. 1 peppermint shrimp. Have chaeto in one of the back chambers. (12 hours on/off)...

So my test kits just arrived. I tested for phosphates and it is 0.25
