Clowns are perfectly fine without one.

Hey everyone, Haven't been on here lately, but I have a question and figured you would be able to answer it. My AC 70 fuge does have a light...but to put things simply, I need a new one. I have been looking around the boards for the answer but didn't come up with much. Anyone have an idea? I...

Just a brief update along with 3 questions. A pepermint shrimp was added to the tank about a month ago. It has molted two times since it has been in my tank. Am I correct to assume that this is a good sign? Also I added some snails, but my hermits killed them off within a few days. I do...

Was going to post this sooner, but I never got around to it. On January 21st I got my first coral from a local reefer. He was VERY generous. He gave me…. Mushrooms: Purple with blue spots, white with purple, and a greenish purple. Xenia: Pom-Pom and long stalk? The long stalk is a tint of...

Just another heating idea, fill up a water bottle with warm water and float it in your tank. Good luck, Ben

I have "talked" to someone on RC and they said that most likely my calcium readings are off. The salt I use should place my calcium in the correct range. I believe that me readings are so far off because my test kit is confusing to read...my calcium one anyways. It states to stop adding drops...

Figured I would also say that I converted from InstantOcean to ReefCrystals.

update My tanks algae problem is fixed, at least I hope so... The steps I took to fix this were, Add carbon and phosban. 3 Day blackout I thought my problem was phosphate...but now Im not so sure. I bought a test kit and it showed levels of 0 for my tank water and RO water...

I was wondering if for a future contest that we stray away from the traditional pictures, much like the helpful tip contest, and had people write articles about ANYTHING related to reef keeping. We could then vote on the most informative, easily understood, ect. As an end result nanotank would...

Was just looking at the phosban and the product information says it comes with a media bag. Is the phosban already in the bag like chemi-pure is? Could I mix the Chemi-pure and the PhosBan into the same media-bag? Also, about how long will a 150 gram jar last me? Sorry for asking so many...

I will buy a phosphate test and let you know what my levels are at. Know of good brand thats not too expensive? I just put in a new bag of chemi-pure. So, I am assuming that I just need the phosban now? I am still planning on converting my AC 70 into a fuge, is that a good idea? Also, I...

I guess I will be sticking with blue legs and I wont be getting any turbo snails, Thanks

Sorry, I don't have a phosphate test kit...... What causes high phosphates? I currently put in a new bag of chemi-pure. For water changes I change 2 gallons per week using reefcrystals salt...if that helps determine the problem, but I doubt it :roll: . Just thought I would say my algae...

Also...kinda off topic, but does anyone here keep turbo snails? I know they can be bulky and knock things over, but are they efficient algae grazers? Would adding one to my tank beneficial? Ben

I am considering getting some scarlet hermit crabs. I have a few questions about them… Will they coexist peacefully with BLH? Are they efficient at “cleaning upâ€
