Long spine urchins (Diadema setosum) are venomous, but you really have to poke yourself well to be harmed. Most urchins in the aquarium trade are harmless. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

That's a nudibranch, maybe Berghia? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I've got 80 pounds in there now, plus an extra 40lb bag (I overestimated how much I would need.) The sand has not expired. I suspected that the ammonia was too low, thanks everyone ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I wasn't questioning the source of my ammonia ? I'm aware of how long it takes to cycle. My question was referring to the dormancy of the bacteria. The bacteria CaribSea adds to this sand is supposed to "wake up" under proper conditions. Proper conditions have been provided, and i should have...

Hey everyone. I'm on day 6 after adding sand (see subject line for brand) to my new 55 gallon set up. pH is 8.1, salinity 33ppt, and temp maintaining at 77-78F. All lights are off, water is aerated with an air stone, in-tank circulation pump and external SunSun canister filter are running. I've...

EXACTLY! I'm removing the contact paper, it's way too light in color. The boyfriend agrees, we need to change it. "Washed out" is exactly right. Thanks for your opinion! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thinking about re-resurfacing the stand. I'm not really liking the color so much anymore... Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey! It's coming along FINALLY ? bathroom has been painted, I just re-siliconed the tank and resurfaced the stand with adhesive wallpaper. I ended up not having enough for the trim on the tank, so I'm going to spray it silver to match the hardware (hence the tape lol) Maybe I'll get this thing...

Don't worry, it's all good ?? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I apologize if my original response was unclear. Let's play nice lol Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Your lesson on algal growth is elementary, mr_X. You shouldn't suggest to take away light and/or nutrients, that's unrealistic; decreasing one or both of those parameters is a more reasonable statement, and these adjustments would depend on what light source this person uses, and what feeding...

A little goes a long way with filter feeder diet, it's very concentrated. Target them directly, small amounts twice a day. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Can you get a better picture? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

You could do all the cleaning and filtering upgrades in the world, and hair algae may still persist. You can try a small army of grazers (snails, urchins, sea stars) that will remedy your situation quickly, in addition to the suggestions above ?? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Live rock* jeeze lol Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Wow, department of redundancy department Haha Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Not yet! Lol I decided I want to paint my bathroom (where I'm setting it up) before I get it up and running. I don't want to have to paint around it! So I'm holding off for a bit. I still have to resurface the stand as well, so I'm holding off for a bit. I'll order my life rock as soon as I...

Flame Hawks and Spotted Hawks are funny characters, too ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I think I may rethink using the reef saver rock... I think I'm leaning more toward dry Fiji and pukani. I read a lot of reviews about the sand being "milky" at first, but it's a no-rinse sand so I expected that. I wanted sand over a more coarse sediment, so I'm fine with that. Good luck with...

I think I'm misunderstanding exactly what you're setting up! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

You're in good shape with that community, I agree that you are under stocked. You could afford to add a few more guys ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
