I do not use tap water, I use an RO system. The skimmer is hang on style remora, and I have a charcoal canister, which probably needs to be recharged. The tank is pretty well established, started in jan of this year. No predator fish, and my clearn crew of hermits and snails is running thin...

as ive posted before, im battling a real serious hair algae problem. i did a complete rundown of water conditions and took some (bad) pics of the tank. for whatever reason, i cant ever get my tank pics to turn out worth beans, but hopefully you can at least see the type of algae. my filtration...

hes now moved to a place almost entirely tucked behind a rock and hes almost upside down. we'll see how this works for him

ok, but what if he decides to settle in a place that isnt so good, like behind the rocks or something? just deal with it?

I just bought a really neat rose anemone. the problem with this guy is that everywhere i put him, he decides to move. he always moves back and underneath the rocks where i cant really see him. im getting nervous handling him and now hes in a spot where i cant even really get him out without...

its neither brown nor coming from the mouth. its a whitish clear type subtance coming from the edges. he looks fine now and the angel is no where near him at current. i suppose it was stupid of me to put the angel in there. if he does cause problems im screwed. theres no way i can get him...

I have had this brain for quite a few months now http://www.69chargerrt.com/images/brain.jpg For the first time this morning i noticed those trails of ooze coming out of him. Have never seen that before. Is that stuff bad? Is he bleeding? or something similar? I put in a flame angel a week...

ok ill get right on it. thanks for the advice.

well thats a major bummer. guess you have to be careful to who you listen to. i had fish store guys tell me i was fine adding what i did when i did. so definitely do another water change though right?

filled it in jan

i cant really fit any more live rock in there. i have close to 60 lbs as it is. Like I said i did a 50% water change a week ago and it only got worse after. should i do it again? ill check what kind of carbon it is when i get home

how would one go about reducing the nitrates?

i dont think i have caulerpa. there isnt any real visable algae to speak of other then the green water. any water i add has come through my RO filter, so i dont think that can be a problem. im really stumped as to what it could be.

About 2 or 3 weeks ago the water went cloudy in my 50 gallon reef. It is now so bad I cant see more then an inch or two into it. I cant imagine waht I did wrong, but the water is a light green color and like i said I can barely see through it. Its a sumpless, hang on style skimmer. After a...

ok good deal. got the carbon in there now. will change water soon. thanks
