I just went through my algae bloom. I had bubbles EVERYWHERE - rock, powerheads, sand, etc. I did a 20% WC every week and after about a month, the algae went away, except for the micro algae that grows on the glass (but there's really nothing you can do about that). Let it run it's course and...

Where do you guys think I should position my 2 powerheads? I need to get my bottom stirred up as much as possible, because I'm getting some waste and algae build-up.

I currently only have 1 powerhead at the top, giving surface ripple. I've got another on it's way in the mail that I'm going to put mid-way down, to stir-up the bottom. I had planned to build a column up the middle, but I kinda like the idea of making a rock wall on one side. What do you guys...

I started my 60 Gallon Hex FOWLR in August 2010. Just wanted to give an update and welcome any suggestions/comments. Right now, I only have 2 Damsels, a Dottyback, CC Starfish, 2 hermits, and 2 turbos. I've typically been adding 1-2 fish per month to give time for my levels to compensate. I'm...

I have a 65 gallon hexagon with about 50lbs of liverock. I've never found a suitable way to organize my rock. I want to keep it off of the back glass to eliminate waste buildup. But I also want it to look natural and fish-friendly. Any suggestions?

That's what I was thinking also. Will the R/O Water eventually replace all of the "crud" left over from the tap water in my tank?

I began my saltwater aquarium 3 months ago using tap water. Now I have minimal algae issues and have decided to start using R/O water. Will it be beneficial to just use R/O water during topoffs and water changes, or should I empty it and start over?

Has anyone ever bought fish Online through websites such as Saltwaterfish.com or other Online stores? Is it a good idea, or should I just buy from a LFS?

Thanks!

I have a 65 Gallon Hexagon aquarium. It's 27" wide and 29" tall. I want to upgrade my lighting to support corals, but with it's height, I need some suggestions or ideas of brands/models of lighting. I was thinking about this MH: Aqualight by Coralife

I have a 65 Hex and I'm trying to get some ideas for lighting. Where did you get yours?
