just got it yesterday, this morning I found him dead on the ground outside the tank. He jumped out of my 60 cube rimless aqurium. I did not know they were jumpers. Bummer

I have a small amount of bright green algae popping up in the back corner. My parameters are as follows. Temp 78 Calcium 430 Mag 1280 Alk 7.8 dkh Salinity 1.025 I have not tested for ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates for a while now. I have been doing ten gallon water changes every two weeks...

I guess ecotech has now updated there ecolive program to now allow pumps and led lights to be run and scheduled together using the wireless interface. I don't think you can do it yet using your PC , but on my iPhone and ipad I have my new mp40 added to my device list and can control the pump...

I did some research on them before I got one. I read that you should not let them get exposed to the air when transferring them, and that they needed a good amount of time acclimating also. When I got one from the LFS, I was talking with someone while the other person was getting one out and...

I have noticed some green hair algae only in the overflow box. I feed the fish once a day. I am running a reactor with GFO in it. From what I have read about it is it may not be bad as long as it's only in the overflow box. It's eating nutrients and that's not bad. One suggestion was to try and...

I used about 50 pounds of tropic Marin reef flake sand. It has about three inches of depth to the sand. It has been up and running since Thursday . I put in some frozen fish food in it a little bit daily as if I am feeding one fish . It is a mixture of shrimp and clams and other stuff . I am...

I am starting a new tank. My 30 gallon nano is still doing fine. I got a 60 gallon cube, stand and a Berlin type sump. I got one Eco tech radion light system and a eshopps skimmer. Just got it plumbed and running it and testing for leaks. Ordered 60 pounds of Marcos rocks, a RO/Di system and I...

This unfortunate shrimp should not have walked across the brain coral I guess.

I put a small hole in my button coral. I was blowing off the rocks with a turkey baster. As I pulled some more water into it I accidentally sucked a little hole in the soft tissue of the meat , or button coral soft tissue. Is this going to repair itself. It pulled in and deflated after it happened.

I was gone for two days. Did a water change on Sunday, the only parameter that is down is calcium. It's sitting at 380. I am going to get a magnesium test in the morning to see if that is a problem as well. I know that my calcium may be down and cannot be raised up until I check my magnesium...

I think it's a maxima clam. I put it up near the top and after a few hours its mostly open I guess. I think it can open more as it gets used to its new home. I hope:bounce:

I don't like the way I have my rocks in my tank. I have been reading about the art of aqua scraping and learning some things I did not know or consider at the time of tank setup. The tank is maybe 3 months old now. I am going to attempt to redo it along with a water change tomorrow. I am going...

I have a few different color zoanthids, I was thinking about grouping some of them together. Do they attack each other if they are not grown together from the start?

Here is my new open brain coral. I bought it out of town and drove about ten hours with it in its bag of water the fish store put it in. It has been in the tank now for about 30 hours. I drip acclimated it for about an hour and put it on a rock low in the tank. Then I read that it should be on...

I don't understand the chart on the back of the bottle. I have a reading of about 7.8 dkh for my alkalinty. I think it should be higher than that to get good growth for the corals. I have a 28 gallon nano cube. Has anyone used reef foundation b supplement that could give some advice. All the...

I found a dead shrimp this morning. At least. Think so. It does not look translucent but there is a split from his tail all the way up his belly. There is still meat inside though. I seems weird that if it just died it would not be split open. And from what I have read here, when a shrimp molts...

I bought a twin spot goby before I knew how hard they are to take care of properly. He is little so I hope he can learn to live without a mate. I bought some copepods and I'm putting them n the tank to help feed him. Any suggestions would be helpful . I have placed some frozen food into the...
