not sure of how old it is, I would say it runs for about 10-12 hours opposite of the main tank lights

I have plenty of flow in my fuge (about 75% of my return line's flow dumps in there), I am not sure about the light but it is a cf spiral light.

I only feed two or three times a week (Elos SVM2 Granular Marine Fish Food - English), every time I put either cheato or caluerpa in the fuge, the algae overtakes it and kills it, how do I skim more aggressively (more wet ot dry?), I run a phosphate reactor with GFO (...

how do you suggest I remove more nutrients?

I have some kind of black algae in my refugium. I also have some gren hair algae and some reddish looking cyano in there. I am not sure what it is. Everything else in there is fine. I keep the temp between 77-79F. The salinity is 1.024-1.025, Ca is 475, Mg is 1300, Ph is around 7.9-8.1. I...

I have a 92 gallon corner tank. I only found two problems with it. 1 - the limited swimming space. 2 - finding the right combination of powerheads and their position to get the optimal flow for all of the corals. I went with this tank b/c it fit my room better.

I went to the local pc store and bought two plain 120mm fans and spliced in the 3 pin pc hookups to the existing wires on the old fans. They work like a charm. Thanks guys for the help.

I am not sure if there is a thread on this, but here goes. I am looking for a way to cool a 92 gallon corner reef tank. I had two of the Coralife 4 3/4" fans in the canopy. I cannot seem to find them anywhere to buy, because mine finally went bad a few weeks ago. I cannot afford a chiller...

I have some candy canes, a frogspawn, a torch, ans tones of shrooms (regular and ricordia). All of those are LPS right?

I guess it is possible that my fish are herbivores. I pretty much have tried tangs. I am not sure of any other reef safe fish to put in there. Last time I tested my H2O, it was: ph-8.1, alk-9kh, ca-460, mg-1400, and gravity was 1.025. I keep the temp between 78-80.

I had a Clarkii clownfish in there all by itself for a long time. I was finally able to catch him and trade him in for some credit. I then got the two clownfish that I have today and a yellow eyed kole tang. The tang lasted about a couple of months. Since he went away from here, I have not...
