I was thinking. I started storing my rodi water in a brute rubbermaid garbage can I picked up specially for that purpose. Could the container be causing the problems I'm having? (see previous thread https://www.livingreefs.com/tank-woes-continued-t47618.html) At this point all of my corals...

I have a yellow torch with about four heads and one of the heads looks like it has detached itself from its base. Almost like its peeling itself off. I'm assuming this is something I should be worried about but I have no idea what to do or waht might be causing it. Any help?

75 gallon tank. So previously I posted about a cyano problem and got a couple peices of feedback. Too much light (lfs told me this) Too much food Too many fish. I reduced my light so that my white bulbs were running for about 3 hours a day. Actinics are running nearly 12. I reduced...

I think this may be a loaded question but I was wondering what is the best way to setup pumps for flow? Yes I'm sure it has to do witht he size of the tank excetera. I'm running 2 Koralias currently facing from the back of the tank to the front of the tanks on a rectangular 75 gallon. What I'm...

As determined in a seperate post I have a ton of nutrients in my tank that I'm working on fixing through several different actions. However, due to some of my bad habits prior too this I have quite the pineapple sponge colony growing in my sump. My water return has a "sponge" filter and the...

As a general rule how many gallons per hour should a protein skimmer be able to push through for a 100 gallon tank?

When I bought my aquarium I purchased a protein skimmer that my LFS had built. Solid design. Looks nice. Starting to have problems after a year. No huge suprises I guess. I'm looking into replaceing the pump with a REEF OCTOPUS BUBBLE BLASTER HY-1000S PROTEIN SKIMMER PUMP 150GPH I'm running...

I have something that has shreaded some recordia mushrooms and a Frogspawn in my tank. I've been watching but I haven't been able to catch the culprit. I'd like to poll the collective expertise of the community to see which fish is most likely to be the issue. I have the following. Two...

I have a pretty green flower pot coral in my tank and I keep finding flatworms on this coral. I've used flatworm exit on the tank twice now. Should I take this coral out and dip it each time I see them? I have a 6 line wrasse in the tank but I havent seen him clean them off at all. Should I...

I'm a running a 75 gallon tank with a yellow tang, blue damsal, flame angel, clown, and bengai cardinal. I'd like to add a fish that is an active swimmer which will get along with the other fish in the tank. Tank has coral so would need to be reef safe. Any suggestions?

I have a Yellow Torch Coral and a Maxi Mini anemomone in my tank. The Maxi Mini has been traveling and has pulled in right next to my torch coral. They are very close to touching. Do I need to seperate these two? I'm more concerned for the torch as I'm assuming the Maxi Mini can move if it...

So about 3 days ago I looked in my tank and noticed that my crown leather had all its little polyps retracted and seemed kinda closed up. As I watched it I was able to identify what I thought was a flat worm. So I mixed up some dip and dipped the leather. The leather still has not opened up...

I'm not quite sure what these corals are. Any help identifying them would be much appreciated.

I'm noticing some dieback on my Acid Green Candy Coral. I've heard that these corals cant take a strong flow so I've moved it to another area. The origianl spot was low flow but hopefully this is even less. I've also moved it closer to my lights. Any other suggestion to try and make the...

Ok I got me a beautiful little "Dory" fish. The kids had to have the "nemo" I love tangs. It worked out well. So I got my little blue beauty into the tank and was delighted later in the night to see it snuggled in between some rocks to sleep. very cute. After a day or two though I started...

I have found a couple little pieces of this red algae. The edges of it are luminous under the actinic lights. I was wondering what kind of algae it is and what I can do to help it spread.
