I have finally made the hard decision to take down my tank :cry: . I have been battling with a major hair algae breakout and complete overtaking of bubble algae in my tank. The bubble algae was always an issue when it hitchhiked into my tank on a rock with a coral on it. The hair algae I have...

The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA has two Sea Dragon tanks. From what I understand they are the only aquarium that has had sea dragons successfully reproduce in captivity. They have special filtration systems devoted just to the sea dragon tanks because they are so fragile. I highly...

About 4 days ago I noticed one branch of my frogspawn was "walking" off of the base. I continued to watch it very slowly expose more and more of the base below it. That evening it completely dropped off from the rest of the coral. It was rolling around on my sand bed and I thought it was dying...

I guess I will just take it like a man then.. The Ice cap fan will bolt to the outside of the light fixture but it runs on DC power. The fan in my light now runs off A/C power and turns on with the lights. I might just keep it for the next tank. Does Icecap make an A/C fan? Thanks Monkeyboy

I have two Percula clown fish in my reef tank. They are non aggressive to all other tank inhabitants except for my arm. When I clean the tank, do regular maintenance, ect. the clown fish attack me. They started out with a nip hear or there, but know it is every time I stick my arm in the tank...

Into day number three. Still Cloudy. All livestock looks great. Any more ideas??

I posted a question about changing a RIO 600 PH on the BPII Skimmer to some other kind of pump. Everybody told me to use a Maxi-Jet 1200 PH but the output tube with the air line adapter will not fit the input tube on the BackPack Skimmer. How do I connect the pump? Has anyone every used a...

Thanks for the information. I wish I had know 6 months ago, I would not have bought another Rio.

My backpack protein skimmer uses a Rio 600 power head. I clean the power head at least once a month and I use the CPR overflow with a sponge for a pre-filter. The first pump I had on there lasted around 4 months before I had to by a new one. The new pump stops working about every two weeks and I...

Thanks for the info, I am glad to hear that it is not bad..

I have a short tentacle plate coral in my tank that I noticed releasing some red string like liquid into the water today. It was released in 4 bursts about 15 seconds apart. My power heads blew all around and disappeared very quickly. Any idea what this was? Thanks for the info
