I am having trouble with all my softies. (they all have been closed now for a month) I am hoping you guys are right and that when I added all new ATI and KZ bulbs to my T5 fixture in replacement of the stock cheapos, this caused the problem. I even noticed today that my green acropora SPS...

My tank is going downhill fast....I have tried everything, not sure what else to do?? My setup: 55 gallon, 5 months old, 100lbs LR, 4X54 Watt T-5, 2 Korilla 3's, HOB Refugium w/ chaeto, Aqua C remora pro skimmer My problem: All soft corals are closed up and dying....they have slowly close up...

Since I will be moving tank shortly, I thought I could improve my aquascape some...anyone have a good site to look at aquascape pics or ideas? I'm new to reefing and my tank currently looks just like a wall of rocks...I would like to try and make it look like a real mini reef, w/ more swimming...

Hello All- So I am going to be moving in 3 weeks and am worried about my tank. I am a new reefer (5 months) and have finally gotten a good setup going. (55 gallon) Now, the bad news comes....I have to move. Good news is- it is only about a 25-30 minute drive to the new place. Below is a...

So still learning, but got some new fish in qt today. I am not going the route of just throwing them in my DT after dealing with ich for first few months. It was a nightmare. Anyways, I have them in qt and am observing them for signs of ich and have got them both eating really well. How long...

So I have a QT/hospital tank I started about 6 weeks ago. I started it to treat all my fish for ich and to let my main tank go fishless. I did watchanges everyday the first two weeks, every other day the 3 and 4th weeks and so on. Now I have only been changing the water once a week like main...

Just taking some suggestions for coral that will thrive on the sand or the bottom 1/3 of my tank. (low flow, low light).....have 4X54 watt T5s and moderate flow in middle of tank, with high flow at top 1/3. Currently have duncans, frogspawn, hammers, acan, zoos, finger leather, mushrooms...

So, many of you may have seen all of my other recent posts, but have many questions...I have had my fuge running for about a month now and it is covered in brown algae....chaeto is growing REALLY fast and my nitrates are down to 0 now since adding it. (before they were a steady 20 ppm) How...

So I am new to this hobby, tank has been going for 3 months. I have noticed about 3-4 spots throughout my 100lbs of LR that have about dime size spots of cyano. At least I think its cyano....it is more red/maroon than my purple coraline, I can scratch it off, but it takes work and a strong...

So I am 3 months into this hobby. I have a frag of Acan and Frogspawn I just purchased and caught my emerald crab tearing up and eating both of them.....is this normal? I got the crab for bubble algae, but its all gone now, should I get rid of it now? Are they not coral safe? I need to catch...

I am using cupramine to treat my sick fish and since tank is qt and not cycled, I added aqua clears ammonia chip filter bag to my HOB filter. This isn't replacing waterchanges, but hoping if would provide a cushion for error. Are they safe to use while treating a tank with copper? Will the...

So I am confused about how to dose seachem's cupramine after a water change. The number of drop thing confuses me enough. I typically am doing 50% water changes (5 gallons) every other day during treatment. So how many drops do I need to add back into the tank after the new 5 gallons is in...

So I am getting mixed reviews, just thought I would take a poll so I can make better decisions and judgements. Thanks

Okay, so I had an outbreak of ich, but had no qt tank. I quickly took your advice, and got a 10 gallon tank. I filled it with DT tank water dropped fish in and dosed cupramine. I also got a heater, air stone, and Aqua Clear 20 HOB filter. Okay so here's my questions. 1. Dosed for...

Got a single head of Duncan coral on saturday night. While trying to remove it with a small knife from the tile, it came loose and took a little fall on my counter, ever since then it has retracted COMPLETELY....been a few days now and still hasn't opened even the slightest. Check out this...

I have a 3 gallon HOB refugium on my tank now....added some macro (chaeto stuff) just wanting it to grow well. So i put a 15 watt T8 4200 K strip (18 inch i believe) over it....is this sufficient for the macro to grow good and reduce nitrates? Or should I put a clip on 26 watt cfl bulb above...

So, I lost a fish that I tried hard to save....however, with no qt tank, my chances were low...anyways, after waking up and seeing him dead, I now shift my worries to my other three fish.....flame angel, dwarf fuzzy lionfish, and a clown....they all show no signs of ick and I will be coating...

So I got some coral (tank just got done cycling-month running) but can't remember what the LFS guy called it...I'm a noob and asked for some "hardy" and "easy" corals....i swear he said it was a softy but can't remember the name. Can you guys take a look at my picture (quality sucks) and help...
