My friend has a 55 gallon reef with 8 small fish, 60# of LR, 2, 150W halide ... His KH is bouncing from 180 - 90 in 5 days. What could cause this to happen? How can he regulate his KH? All of his corals are dying with the exception of a sun coral and yellow fiji leather which are...

A friend of mine has a 90 gallon reef. The tank is well established but he is all of a sudden running into a KH problem. Every time he tests his KH he gets a reading of 9, (90). He is adding Seachem's Reef Builder (1 tsp/40 gal) so 2 tsp at least 3x week and his KH never reads differently...

So a few years back I purchased a zoanthid colony that had grown over an acro's skeleton. This little fungia plate sprouted off of the zoanthid colony and started to grow rapidly. Since them I have fragged many off of that same spot when they reach the size of a quarter and they usually snap...

I may be aquiring an Achillies Tang in the near future and I was wondering if anyone out there has had any luck or experience with keeping these guys. He will be going into my recently upgraded 75 gallon tank when it is fully cycled, etc. So far I have a hippo tang and two green chromis in...

I have been doing some research and I'm thinking about breeding my bettas. I read that the best food for the free-swimming fry would be along the lines of paramecium, I also read that the fry cannot eat baby brine shrimp until they are 1 week of age. What do I need to culture my own...

Hello Again Fellow Reefers... The tank is doing amazing, water quality is perfect, bla bla bla, and I was wondering if setting up a refugium would be worth-while. My friends have one on their 110 gal. but is it worth it on my little 20 gal? Also, I know (for the most part) their purpose, but...

I have one 5-6" Tiger Oscar in my 29 gallon tank (I have a much larger tank downstairs for him, but I have to switch into another room first). My water chemistry is good and I do weekly water changes. My pH is kind of high 8.0-8.3 and I was wondering what kind of algea eater my Oscar wouldn't...

I have a question for you guys. I have an Oscar a 29 gallon tank (very temporarily he will soon be getting a 55, but right now he's only 3" long) and I was adding aquarium salt to make the water brackish. I was told to add 1 1/2 tablespoons extra for every scoop to make the water brackish. This...
