Today I tried to remove some cyano and it isn't going to well. The cyano on the rocks is very difficult to remove and progress is VERY slow. I beleive that the main problem was my light and with that fixed the cyano shouldn't come back once I rid the tank of it. So Im going to order some chemi...

Hello everyone, recently my tank has gone through an outbreak of cyano. I beleive that the cause was an old light and an old bag of chemi pure. I recently replaced the light and I can visibly tell that there was a difference in color between the two lights. Anyways, I have been considering...

I have a really basic question to ask so here it goes... How do I clean the filter? Do I clean the whole filter or just the filter material? I should only use saltwater when cleaning correct? Do I just use old tank water, meaning I would have to save some after ever water...

I am going to be getting Kent Marine Superbuffer dkh...I have some questions about it. How often will I need to use it on the tank??? Also if I overdose with it by accident will it cause my pH and alk to go way up???

Thanks for all the great help!!! I haven't yet got anything for the tanks....but I will be getting something soon. But for now I have a few more questions... For buffers can I just add some to gallon of RO water and continuously use that until it runs out??? As for water changes will the...

Sorry I missed this post... :oops: Thanks everyone! :mrgreen:

Thanks for all the help! I just have two more questions for now... When rinsing out the sponge can I use tap water? What can I use as a buffer?

Since the bugs are most likely pods I will just ignore them... A few days ago I cleaned out the filter, tossing the carbon but keeping the sponge. I will be getting new carbon soon. I will most likely be getting some new inhabitants this weekend or the next, what type/number of hermit crabs...

I have been cycling the tank since the end of January. I know thats a VERY long time, but I wanted to get the ktis to be sure it was good, and incase of future issues. The "pillbugs" in my tank are whitish cream, and some of them have patches of color that look very similar to coraline algae...

My tank hasn't had anything added to it yet...it has been a long time but I wanted to wait till my birthday to get test kits, just so I could be 100% sure everything was good. This is what came out: pH->8.0 Ammonia->0 Nitrite->0 Nitrate->10-0 So I assume those are good reading, right...

Thanks a lot!

I haven't yet started to add anything to my tank, I am waiting till my birthday to get some test kits. Even though I am pretty sure all would be fine if I put a few things in there, there are already some snails on the glass and these pill bug looking things, I just want to be safe. Well other...

I am going to be doing my first water change soon and I was wondering if I have to let the water airate, and get set to the correct temperature, ect.? I will hopefully be getting some snails/hermits this weekend, so I want to do a water change to lower nitrates. ...I still have to get my...

Just thought I would point this out as a possible explanation as to why you saw red legs, It could have been eating by a mantis shrimp. Although I am not sure how likely that is... :roll:

I have a lot of things in my tank that look like aiptasia anomones (I will get a picture soon just to make sure). I read that redlegged hermit crabs eat them, is this true?

I was thinking about this and came up with this, tell me what you all think... The reason the the zoos lose more color under the brighter light is because they do not need lots of zooexilyn (I know I spelt it wrong). Also because they do not need to focus lots of energy on the zooexilyn they...

I will try to fix that thanks. Yup it was and the fact that I ran out of RO water... :lol: amf82380, I did get my rock from premium aquatics. I ordered 10 lbs. of Nano Liverock. It cost me about 65 dollars shipped which is WAY cheaper then at my LFS, and the rock is much better...

Well so far I have noticed a few things alive in this tank some worms and what I think is a pod. Also some wierd growths on the rocks, but I don't know what they are. Anyways, this is the result of me rearranging the rocks a few times and It will most likely change again. Tell me what you all think.

I am pretty sure it wasn't a bristleworm. Like I said it looks like an earthworm with some black hair here and there...anyone have other ideas?
