This makes sense as my Ca has been on the high side although this is not the culprit in my problem, correct?

I guess I will have to look into this. I just don't have much space at all in this little 10G sump Reef crystals. The tank has 2 clowns, a pistol shrimp, 2 GSP colonies, a large zoa colony and a few scattered frags I do make my own water. I test salinity prior to adding it. I hadn't thought...

Salinity is always kept at 1.024-1.026.

I do water changes twice a week, about 2 gallons each time. I feed them 1/3 a cube of frozen mysis shrimp every 3 days (I only have 2 fish, a shrimp, and a crab)

Ok, right now I have lights on I believe 10hrs a day, cut back to 4?

Flow is good to all areas of tank. Lighting is Kessil 150g, and the test kits are "Salifert" for the Mg and Alk, and the "Elos" for the Calcium.

Hi everyone, I am pretty new to this still and am coming across some problems with the levels in my tank. For the last few months I had a bad "black algae" problem, I upped my water changes and that seems to have mostly helped that, but my corals are all looking very dull and on their way out...

Hi guys! So for about a month now my little 10 gallon reef tank has been growing a deathly looking black cobwebby algae of some sorts. I am very new to all of this so I'm not sure what this is. I have been trying to up my water changes but haven't noticed too much of a difference, it keeps...

Hi guys, I was out of town for 5 days and had a friend taking care of the tank for me. She fed them once and added water once. I came back and saw that my female clown looked like this. White/transparent patches on her fins, she also appears much smaller (about the same size as the male). She...

Hi guys, So 7 months later.I finally started on my tank! About 2 weeks after we got the tank, I bought a new truck. Decided to put this to-be-expensive new project on hold while I managed a new car payment for a while. However, Nick (nsakis) recently tore his tank down and I begged him to let...

Sounds great! Would appreciate that a ton!

Great! I will start a build thread soon - We are headed out in a bit to buy the plumbing supplies. As of now we are likely going to make my sump........but if someone has a 20gal sump for sale, I would greatly appreciate a message :)

Hey y'all! New to this hobby/site, from Bakersfield where I'm a Labor & Delivery RN, but come to Redlands frequently where my boyfriend Nick lives (nsakis). I've helped him with his tanks for the last 4 years but never had one of my own....until last night at the xmas party when Nick won the...
