looking at pictures I would guess a brain coral and that one is dying off

ok so bought a blue hippo tang from petco(first fish from petco since start-up was on sale) it came with ICK I assume. Well wasn't long and my long time clarkie clown ended up a gonner and thats when i saw the ICK. I have been treating with Kordon ICK Attack and have odd results. It does seem...

are we talking about those white starfish with small round body long skinny legs? LOL I posted a few months ago I was being overrun with them and I could have been selling them

sidewall about 4 inches from top water pointing straight to other side but pointed slightly upwards. mid tank up has nice sway but the polyps on bottom near sand look blown over

just to add my story it kinda happened to me with no reasoning one nigjt my foxface was out eating great next day didnt see it second day went looking and was behind arock dead two nights later before work feeding all fish alive and active morning tank check naso tang dying and sucked uo in a...

i just bought my wp25 last thursday and it arrived today. im having trouble controlling flow i got it for my 75 but seems too strong any ideas btw using w1 s3 about mid knob. the surface water ripples nice but corals get a blown over look any suggestions on placement

I know I didn't put these in my tank I also know they have benefits being in there but is there a point they get over populated??

That is awesome and this is what I will be doing as well except I will be utilizing tanks I already have I see you are using carbon and GFO reactor as well as mangroves, is carbon and gfo all I need? is mangroves all I need? I was reading on cheato and have even tried it but can't get it to...

Oh yeah that yes I have looked at many designs you are right its a one shot for me I don't want to be wrong lol.

yeah there are decisions and after few hours of research and watching youtube videos any reactor or algae scrubber can be completed fairly cheap. I appreciate the MRC but I'm not looking on spending $600+ on a plastic box with walls, I have a 45 gallon and a 29 gallon tank currently using on...

I will shortly be in process of creating what I call is a Mega Sump, it will be a sump system for 125g and 75g tanks. I want anything that will create a super stable system. I have been online, in forums and chatting with LFS. 1.) looking into reactors and there seems to be many out there but...

I had the same problem its annoying but mine was coming from the water returning to sump I ended up slowing down to return to DT to slow return to sump creating less bubbles.

I have a 125 and had nitrate problem myself and I controlled it (after water changes) with a canister filter that has media basket for different filtration and it come with a UV light built in. Some say NO NO on canister but it worked for me until I set up sump correctly and using live plants...

Ok its time for a new RO/DI filter system and this time I am going to buy one with replaceable media not a disposable cheap one like been using. So my question is that upon looking and researching I have found many different ones and range from 3 stage to 7 stage. Does it make a difference in...

I was just saying it seems worse there like this stuff is feeding off the lower light vs brighter. and my nitrates are currently very high

ok sounds good I feed like that because I am always looking at the fish wanting it when i go near the tank they herd where i feed. It not so much the flow that moves the sand as is the fish (clarkie seems to love mixing it up lie it bothers him), my substarte is only to the black edge of the...

going on 3 years its been running. i started with crushed black coral/white sand and hated the darkness then switched to white sand and the mess was too much, glass cleaning, fish swimming it was everywhere so actually now i am in process of going to crushed coral and only have tank done (not...

but what about my last post where it seems this is overgrowing where i have less light

Ok I am using Ro/Di water. My alk is at 140, I have roughly 125 lbs rock between DT and sump, Using crushed coral subsrtate, have 2x 750gph circ pumps, 1 1250 gph circ pump and 2 nozzles returning from a 1200 gph sump inhabitants are Naso Tang, Yellow Tang, 2x bengi cardinals, 2x spotted...

ok did water test everything is in balance PH 8.0 ammonia o nitrites .05 but nitrates are up and in stress level I know this is way too high I have been doing water changes and even got instant ocean natural nitrate reducer. This isn't the first time been having nitrate issues. I was talking to...
