Definately not a golden hawk. I remember mine had the body of a typical hawkfish with the colors of a royal gramma. Nice streamers on rear tail and amazing iridescent blue eyes. It's been 30 years since I've seen one in person. I remember paying less than $20 bucks for it.

Been looking for one of these guys. I haven't seen them in years. I had one in the early 90's and it was a great comical fish. Anyone seen one around?

Just my experience. I have a nano tank so this outcome may be due to the small size of the tank. Dosed ESV for about 6 months but noticed my salinity creeped up too much for my liking. I've since gone with a kalk stirrer and any additional alk/cal is brought up to level with Tropic Marin AFO...

I saw 3 or 4 donuts at that price at reef factory.

Question. If refigerated phyto is fed to a tank, does the sudden and drastic temperature change kill the phyto? Therefore using room temperature phyto is the proper way to feed/dose it in the tank.

In the past I'd have to slowly coach tangs to eat nori. Should keep trying to train it.

Perfect! A cheaper better solution. My wallet thanks you.

Anyone know where I can source some of these? I speaking of the type that would commonly come with drip acclimation kits. Or anyone have a source of a very compact airline tubing holder that would create a gentle u shape over the rim of the aquarium and hold it in place. I find that dosing line...

I think reef factory has them in stock but I would call first.

If anyone else is considering it keep in mind to dose your normal 2/3 part and reduce the amount as you ramp up the All 4 reef. I like the idea of a 1 part and will see if it works out.

Just mixed my first batch of All 4 Reef powder form. Used a magnetic mixer. The final color of the water is a light brown color. Is this normal? Anyone else using the powder form?

Thats the thing, I feed heavy, have a UV, have very little other algae growth on the rock work, corraline is growing well, and nutrients seem to be in-check. SPS, and LPS are all growing well too. Weekly water changes, dosing alk, cal, mag to proper levels. Is it just a phase of the tank? Only...

The glass on my tank literally grows a fine dusting of algae within 6 hours of cleaning it. If I want to keep my tank somewhat presentation ready I have to clean the glass everyday. My phosphates are about .05 and I have to dose nitrates to keep it at about 3-5ppm. Whats going on here? Whats...

Vivid aquariums had a bunch when I swung by 2 weeks ago

I went through something very similiar about 3 months ago. I treated the fish in a qt tank for about 2 months. Got them fat and happy. Another important piece that I beleive helped was the addition of a UV sterilizer but I had the feed water going through very slowly.

Ill take the 3 ft sump and 1 of the 40 breeders!

No carbon dosing. The water is crystal clear thus I ruled out bacterial....just a guess on my part.

I've noticed a strange algae that seems to be growing in my tank. It is translucent, short, and moves with water flow in the tank. It is only growing on my plastic back wall (AIO Tank) and on a acrylic frag rack. It has not grown on the rock work. I would post a picture however the translucent...

So my blue eyed Kole tang has some serious ich or velvet. I think it's ich but can't be sure. It's in a QT tank now with cupramine. I'm giving it a 50/50 chance. Anyhow my other fish, 2 percula clowns and an algae blenny don't seem to be affected by it. What's the deal? The tang was active and...

Well its been 6 years since I last had a reef tank and with the kids getting a bit older started up a small tank. Looking for a baseball size/golfball piece of Chaeto in the San Fernando Valley. Preferably in the North SVF. Shoot me a message if you've got the goods! Cheers, Frank
