Glad to hear you went to Max Reef. Big difference and at least you should be in better hands. Much better fish and price can not be beat.

That's algae. Invest in a magnafloat. Go over it a couple of times and it will come right off. I don't go into the sand though - leave that.

Hey Guys, Been MIA for a few days , Heres the latest Addition to the Tank , Flame Angel, Really gives a Burst of Color to the Tank...

 

[TommyP]

Awesome colors. Do you plan on having any corals? If so, I'd take him and the coral beauty out. I've read horror stories on here.

Gm Everyone, Ran into a Lil problem, recently added a Blue Tang from Max Reef, everything was fine until i walked in today, found the Blue Tang and Fire angel with a Few White Dots, Anyone knows what it could be ? I havent added anything new to the tank other than the Blue tang, All Parameters are Perfect including the salinity, any help or advice will be greatly appreciated .

Its probably ich. 50% of your fish need bigger tanks so they can swim around and be happy. The small tank is making them stress and thats how they got ich. They have some medicines you can buy and remedies. The only true fix will be to remove all the tangs out and most likely the angels. My little brother just started a tank and it was very difficult to convince him not to get angels and tangs for his 38 Gallon.

here is a thread i found with some suggestions.

 

[viplok]

its ich. most likely from stress. set up a qtank with alot of hiding space for them to recover.

 

[evoIX_Reefer]

the flame angel should be fine in a 39. the tangs should go. hippo tangs are very prone to ich and should really be QTd prior to adding to an established display. let them try to recover on their own first if they are currently eating. if not then try steps like hyposalinity.

Serious Algae Problem thats driving me Nuts !!! Doesnt seem to go away, tried using various snails and a sea hare but its not enough, read about using chemiclean, helped alot but comes right back in a few days, salinity and parameters are perfect, cant seen to find a solution for it.... Any suggestions or hints will be greatly appreciated

What you have in there is not cyanobacteria. There called dino's. They need to sucked out of the tank. What are your water parameters?

 

[MrSalty]

Hey Guys, quick update, been so bussy with work and school have had time to follow up on the thread... Here are some pics as of Today of the tank.
