I got an Apex controller the other week. Now I watch the ph and temp all the time. This has most likely been going on for ever and I should not worry about it. Just wondering what you guys think is ok for a temp and pH swing. Mine goes between 77-77.5 and the pH is from 8.22-8.07. From...

There is a purple hair algea growning on my suncoral rock? Most of it is "encrusting" but there is also long stringy pieces. What is it and how do I get rid of it? Coral-RX? It seems to be killing the sun coral.

The wife pick out a coral rock from the store on Friday for the sun corals. Those are great but there is this other thing on it. Hope fully it is ok to leave in there.

My clown has been fine since he had ich almost 9 months ago and when I went to bed last night everything was normal. Today when I got home from work one eye has "popped" out(the eye is still there just sticking way out). I put him in the QT and was wondering what to do next? What I read is...

Well, since I just ordered the tanks today, I thought I would start the build thread. What I am looking at doing is to have two 180 side by side. Hopeing they will look like one long 12 ft tank. I am going to run them seperate because one will house my puffer and trigger and an angel along...

I am working on a plan to upgrade my 29gal reef tank. I want to go with a 180 gal. My ?? is do I need to recycle the new tank if I move my rock from the 29 gal. I am thinking of getting new substrate and 180 lbs of dry rock. Than I would add the 40lbs of year old "live rock" from my 29 with...

So I am dreaming about a new tank!! Suprise:Cheers: Tell me what you think, where what any thing else I can look for. What I do know is the size...96"x18"x30" I have looked at glasscages.com, glass tank would weigh about 400 and midwestcustomaquariums.com, Acrylic would be about 250. This...

Was down at MCF today and they had nems so I couldn't help but get one. I went for a clam and ended up with this. It attached its foot to the rocks within 30 min and seems to be the same size it was at store. So now just waiting to see if the clowns to find it. Probably take them a while...

I have a friend who wants to start a saltwater tank. He has had a fresh before but has lots of ??? about getting started. I thought I would post here to get the expert panels option. He wants to have corals and fish, for fish choices he likes the green MD and a blue spoted jawfish. He also...

We just picked up our last fish for the 90gal tank. Huma Huma trigger. He is right now the smallest fish in the tank but nobody messes with him. The second I put him in the tank the puffer , which is 3 times his size, swam over, it look like there was going to be a rumble. Now all the fish...

Well a couple weeks ago I did some major rock cleaning to rid the hair algea. I tried to move some of the small rocks from under the "hairy mushroom", and I pulled to hard and it tore a small piece off. So I moved the small piece to the center of the tank and it still looks good. I think it...

This white line showed up on this coral, just noticed it today. Wondering if this is ok, everything else seems to be doing real good. Just wanted to see what you guys think.
