Thanks for all your help with the high PH! The article you suggested was really useful. We connected another airpump to the tank and are running it through the sump. That seems to have brought the PH back to normal levels! No onto the next problem. I had been running carbon for the last 2...

They are actually T5's. They don't look any brighter than my old lights, is that normal? We have 4 Reef Chromis, 1 Gamma, 1 anemone, a sunburst coral and a purple passion tree. The lights are not hanging but are mounted on legs. Usually the lights are on for 11 hours with 30 minutes before...

Hi there - we just got fancy new lights for our tank. They are about 250 W instead of the current 120W. My question is: can we just pop them on top and run them or do we need to somehow acclimate the tank to the brighter lights? Thanks for any info...

You probably need to feed him again. I feed mine every other day or so and it is getting huge!

Thanks for the article - I had already found and read it. Got alot of good information. We attached an air pump to the live rock rubble filter and are going to pump air through that water for a couple of hours. We also got some seltzer water and some PH down. I think I am not going to use the...

Ohh - you think? I am extra buying Petco ocean water thinking that real ocean water is best for the critters... I just re-tested and it looks like it is starting to go down...probably somewhere around 8.6 now. Could it have something do with the fact that the water had no flow while I did the...

Could I have too much water movement? I have 2 powerheads in the tank.

The only thing I added before it went up was stress coat because we had just gotten the Reef Chromis... I heard that you could add seltzer water to the tank which would add carbon dioxide and get the PH down...but I really want to figure out why this is happening before I do anything else... I...

We have a 55G with 4 reef Chromis, 1 Gamma, 1 anemone, 2 corals and various crabs, hermits and snails. I did a water change yesterday and tested all my levels. Everything tested perfect except for my PH which seems very high (more than 8.8 - which is where my kit ends). I tested 4 or 5 times...

Until now we have researched every one of our additions into our tank carefully - BUT - we just made a (perhaps very unwise) impulse purchase. We got a twin spot Goby. I have been reading up on them and it seems like they will be very difficult to keep alive. We have a 50G tank with perfect...

Thanks so much everybody! I changed the carbon and the cloudiness is much better already! I also did see that ChemiPure on Marine Depot...I think I am going to invest in it.... THANKS AGAIN!!! You are all tremendously helpful!!!

Oh, I see! Could that happen so quickly? I just put it in there just a week ago...I thought it last 6 months?

My water got somewhat less cloudy since I put in the charcoal media about 1 week ago but now it is not really getting any better. Do you think I waited long enough? I also turned off the lights for 4 days and did 2 waterchanges. All the water is testing perfectly but it is still cloudy...

I looked up the Medusa worm but it doesn't look at all like the one I have. It does have the bushy thing at the front but not as big as this thing has. It is also very even in diameter not thicker and thinner at different parts.

I looked up the peanut worm but it doesn't look anything like the worm I have...can you tell I really want it to be a bristle star ??? :) In any case it seems like it won't do any harm!

Wow...that is kind of neat! I am going to try and see if I can see some more of it...!

Well, the pattern is very similar but I am only seeing one worm (although I never see both ends because the one end is always hidden in the rock) but the worm part that I do see looks like it is all smooth. The pattern however is very similar!!! THANKS SO MUCH for even putting a picture to...

Ohhh....I want some too! Lucky you!

Your abolones actually sound like stomachtids (sp?). Mine look like little whitish slug thingies with an abalone shaped shell. I was told on here that they are harmless cleaners. Mine actually had babies and now I have lots of little ones crawling over the LR...

Well, I guess it could but all the pictures I saw didn't have this black and white pattern...but then again I have never seen a real bristle worm...
