I found this growing on the under side of one of my live rocks. It' looks like a bluish white fungus of some sort, anyone know what it might be and if its good or bad. This is what it looked like when I flipped it over. Thanks

Thanks, I'm not adding anything new for a while, would a UV sterilizer help prevent this, I've heard a lot of opinions on both the benifits and the bad on these.

I am using a wet/dry trickle filter with a protein skimmer, I have 2 return outlet and 1 power head moving water accross the surface of the water and 3 more power heads moving water through the rock. 2 or koralia 1 and i am not sure of the brand of the other 2, but they are rated at 350 gph...

Tank has been running about 3 months, I've had the damsels for 2 1/2 and the coral beauty for a 1 1/2 months, so I don't thinks that the issue. They also came from different LFS, and I quartined the Coral beauty for 2 weeks before adding him.

I came home from work 3 day's ago and found that my coral beauty had died. He was covered with a film and looked like large flakes were coming off, but no sign of trama or attacks from my 2 damsels. I checked all water peramiters and everything was ok. It had only been about 4 day's since I...

I am currently using frozen food, I have a variety of different kinds of the small cubes, and I am feeding them 1/2 of a thawed cube every other day, and about once a week I put in a small piece of dryed algea. I think my protein skimmer is doing well, I changed the original one out with a...

I am still looking into a metal halide lighting system and was wondering if any one is using these and what they think of them, they seem to be to good of a deal, but are they worth it or is it just a waste of money. 48" 760W Metal Halide System (Electronic Version) - 504023 Thanks

New addition!!:^: I added a new new Coral Beauty Angel fish last week approx 2 1/2" to 3". The pic is not the best, but kind of a cool shot. Looks like he is posing, lol I also have put together equipment for a 10 gal. quarintine/hospital tank, and was wondering what the opinion is on adding...

answer to sump questions. The water level in the picture is from when I first filled it and I have adjusted the water level so all of the filter media except the last 1/4" to 1/2" is above the water line. The protein skimmer is feeding from the far left(however, it is after it goes through the...

I started the cycling the tank a couple of weeks ago using some live rock, live sand, and 2 frozen shrimp. The ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels all rose and fell again. The cycle was pretty short, but I also used "Cycle" to help get the bacteria levels up. I added a 2- 3 stripe damsels, a few...

Went to the LFS today and picked up 12lbs of live rock to seed all of my base rock. I think I got a pretty good deal, I got it for $4lb and was able to pick out my own rock. :bounce: I do have one question though check out the pic with the green/white rock. Does anyone know what this is, it...
