I heard that if you lower the PH to about 7.9 (or was it raise to 8.4), this will help reduce the PO4 levels??!! Can someone clarify this.. I have read every thread regarding cyano probs and techniques on how to rid it.. Other than finding the culprit, most state that having the lights off for...

I bought these turbo snails from my LFS last week and usually check up on them every day. Today, I saw 2 of them had turned up side down and dead?! Can't these little things go get back up?

Hi ppl, I don't know why I can't get the phosphate to reduce, I think i've tried everything. I've placed Aquasonic sponges in my canister filter, then I've made several 20% water changes. I've got a skimmer that's working fine (It's producing heaps of bubbles). I also cleaned my canister...

Hi everyone, Just wanting to know all successors story on how long it took for their coralline algae's to grow, how they achieved it, was it a rapid growth etc. thanks

I know this might sound stupid to some, but I curious to know what a Kalkwasser is? Is it some sort of chemical supplement you buy from your LFS to increase coralline growth?

Hi ppl, I've got a major problem with my phosphate (>3ppm) & nitrate (80ppm) levels. I'm going to do a major water change (30%), clean all the gravel, scrub off all the algae, clean the filters and change the sponges. I'm also going to put in more live rocks as I've read that it should reduce...

Hi people, I have a 115 gallon marine tank and currently using 2 x 48" full spectrum & 2 x 48" actinic (blue) fluorescent lights. The height of the tank is approx 24". Is this lighting sufficient for a coral reef tank?

I just want to understand the concept.. If I have 3 powerheads running at 145g/h, 224g/h and 1590g/h. Does this mean that my total water movement is running at 1959g/h Is this sufficient for a 115 gallon tank?

What type of algae is this? And how can I get rid of it for good?

Hi people, My dad bought a 115gallon tank 2 years ago and he recently decided to have me maintain the fish tank. I got heaps of questions to ask, but I'll take it step by step... I have a mini reef (sump/trickle filter - whatever you call it) using a RIO Hyperflow 26HF pump (1600g/h). My...
