    Cannot scrape algae off glass

    and I'm using stock LED lights on my JBJ 24ga nano tank. ~10 hour photo period every day with ~1 hour of "moon" (the blue light) right before I turn main lights on in the morning and right after I turn main lights off at night. thank you for your help

    what are these?

    I'm not sure what it's rated for....but all the guys with JBJ 24ga nano tanks use this particular skimmer because it fits with the lid closed (and a modified cup). I was under the impression skimmers keep water crystal clean....but apparently not in this case. I'm off to buy some chemipure...

    Cannot scrape algae off glass

    JBJ 24ga nano tank. 6mos old. There is some green algae (dark green) on the right hand side of the tank, underneath the powerhead......that refuses to scrape off with a conventional scrape brush. Also, the rock that is near the side of the tank....COVERED in green hair algae that's thick...

    what are these?

    Ok so somehow the nitrates went up to 40ppm....after being at ~10ppm for the longest time. Tank is 6mos. old....I'm running a skimmer and nothing else. JBJ 24ga nano. I'm wondering if the decaying starfish I had in there (had no idea he was decaying) was responsible for the high...

    In the 1st picture, the worm is camoflauged...but is right in between the conch on the top and nem on the bottom. In the 2nd picture, the work is hanging out of my zoas.....that can't be good?

    what are these?

    Found a few long flat worms in my tank in the daytime today.....I'm seeing at least 1 worm on each of the live rocks....seems to be some sort of "worm explosion". if the pics below aren't clear....the worm is half white and half grey. Good or?

    Zoa not opening & clowns hosting

    Actually, that's what they are. Rastas. Thanks for jogging my memory. So apparently Rastas are super sensitive? Everything else is doing just fine.

    Zoa not opening & clowns hosting

    Thanks.....yeah apparently this isn't my tank anymore and it's her and her boyfriends. The lights are off in the tank and they're both hosting behind the powerhead at the top. Ok thanks for the tip on the zoa....I was fumbling around with it and dropped it 2x on my carpet as I was trying to put...

    Hypothetical situation

    You're absolutely right....they are more than a handful. Mine work in tandem to get what they want (food). Luckily, they know I have a short temper and have a fully automatic water gun that has seen some EPIC cat vs. human battles. So for the most part, they know what pisses me off and don't...

    Zoa not opening & clowns hosting

    So I went to Coral Obsessions (again) today to get some water....walked out with a few Zoa frags and a nice bubble tip nem. Came home and basically had to re-arrange my entire tank again so that I could find a nice rock for all my zoas. I think one of the owners of Coral Obsessions is on this...

    Starfish not looking so good....

    I dripped acclimated him....know they are very sensitive to salinity changes.....and I don't even have an ATO in my 24ga AIO tank.

    Starfish not looking so good....

    It's a Tong's $19.99 special. If you're in Orange County....you know who I'm talking about. It's a basic red starfish. Ok, so basic consensus is to get rid of?

    Starfish not looking so good....

    Got a starfish in my tank....he's been there for about 3 weeks now. It appears as if someone attacked his arm....the only culprit (aside from the two immature clownfish) is the emerald crab. Can I get your guys thoughts on how he looks? Also....my nitrates jumped up to 40ppm since 3 days...

    Hypothetical situation

    Nice Bengal....does he/she like water? Yeah I need to plan this tank thingy....I'm currently living in an apartment but am looking for a house, maybe. Maybe here in the South Bay or maybe somewhere in the South. That's about the only place that would probably accept me.....everywhere else...

    Hypothetical situation

    Basically it was an attempt at getting a $10k "designer cat" and writing it off on my income taxes. My brother is an attorney and he did that with his dog....he saw a shrink, the shrink labeled him "crazy", the shrink gave him a piece of paper saying so and my brother can now take his dog...

    Hypothetical situation

    Yeah....if you go to Kia Dealership in ....Carson? I think she used to work the front desk there. Or maybe it was Honda? One of those dealerships. She was a total piece of ***....but it just didn't work.

    Hypothetical situation

    Also...if any of you guys are local to Huntington Beach (I'm moving there soon) and can play golf in the day time (local courses) hit me up. My golf buddy had surgery on his arm and he's out of commission for at least a year due to rehab/etc. I got nobody to play golf with and hate going by...
