I got home today and the tank is getting covered with brown algae. What can I do to fix it? Or do I just have to suck it up and wait for it to clear. I'm probably feeding too much. **** book say to feed the royal gamma 3 times a day. And the fish corpse probably doesn't help. Also read in...

I have 2 used Milwaukee pH meter and need pH calibration solution to set them up. Believe they use 4.01, 7.01 & 10.01 pH solutions to calibrate. It doesn't seem to be a common item so hard to find. Anywhere local you know of? MarineDepot doesn't carry it.

I'm looking into picking up some powerheads for a 180g reef tank and was wondering what the guidelines are to the flow rate. The Tunze's are too expensive but suppose to be way better and smaller. So thinking of Hydor Koralia K-3 (850gph) or K-4 (1200gph). Going to start off by getting two...

I'm cycling the tank and put in a shrimp to start the cycle. Had live rock & live sand. All of a sudden there are about a dozen worm like creatures pop out. Please help ID them and tell me if its a good thing or a bad thing. [/IMG]

I got a used Rainbow LIfeguard Big Digital Temperature Thermometer but don't have the users manual. Tried to use it but it keeps beeping so I must be setting the temperature range wrong. Can someone with this product get me the info or post the scan of the manual? Thanks. Item Link

I'm looking a local place in OC that can supply me with all the necessary plumbing supplies. Generic stuff I can get at local Home Depot/Lowes but looking for Bulkheads & Hosebarb fittings. MarineDepot is near my work but doesn't have the size combination I need/want. The sample of the old...

I have 50-60 lbs of what was live sand sitting in plastic tubs for about 2 weeks. Didn't have the know-how or equipment to keep them up and running in water. Was only able to cycle the live rocks. How do get them ready to re-use in the tank?

Is there a good reference thread/link here or any place else you would recommend? Got the basics of what is what but need to know what to use and what to avoid. Stuff like where to use PVC and where to use tubing. Slot or threading? 3/4" or 1". Thanks.
