How do you people combat algae? I'm fairly certain that after my move, I will be going the fish only route. With the increased bioload of a fish only tank, I want to make sure algae is kept in check. I'm thinking GFO will be an expensive route so am leaning towards (gasp) biopellets.:a45...

My tank has one 1" drain durso style and one 3/4" return. Here lies my problem: I have to have my return pump turned down extremely low in order to keep the gurgling sound to a minimum. I would guess my pump is only pushing about 150-200 gallons per hour. Other than drilling a larger or more...

I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat, so how do you all keep your reef keeping fire going? Wife won't let me spend any more money on gear. As for my tank, everything is in perfect balance so I' dont want to add another fish or coral as it may screw with the chemistry.

Does 2 part additives add more essential/needed minerals, trace elements, and the such than kalkwater?

Whats the deal with a torch coral that has its stingers out all the time. Over the last month my torch is one pissed off mofo:evil: I have moved it around to give it plenty of room but it still has a dozen tentacles out that reach out about 5-6" and is causing some minor damage to my other...

Has anyone had success using Harlequin Shrimp to mow down a population of Asterina Starfish. I noticed they were on a comeback in my tank as the coralline algae has increased. Will the Harlequins actively hunt the starfish down?

I would like to try my hand at biopellets.....and yes I've read all the disaster stories related to its use. My question is will running just a small amount of biopellets work? Instead of using the full recommended amount, lets say I decide to use a tiny amount in the hopes of leaving some small...

So my chaeto seems to go through a death cycle ever month or so. Its being rotated around and trimmed, however every month or two, I have a large portion of it die off and after removing the dead portion, it seems to grow back. Is this normal or is something wrong with the water chemistry?

Broke a nice 2"x2" piece during maintenance. Would like to trade for a different colored monti but willing to consider about any other trade. Or... Take the piece for $5 located in redondo

It seems most people here try to stick to one type of salt brand. Is it a bad idea to change salts on a frequent basis? I usually just buy whatevers on sale and use it til it runs out then off to the next sale. Sometimes its a different brand but I just figured salt is salt, and regular water...

Noticed that the behavior of my fish as LAZZZYYYY. When not fed for an extended time period, they are frantically searching the tank for natural food items. Tangs are scrubbing the rocks for pieces of algae, wrasses are searching for pods. However after a feeding, they swim around slow, fat, and...

My controller was delivered today and of course I'm running into problems. Basically after setting the current time, the time does not progress forward. Any ideas? I also attempted a factory reset and still the time remains the same after setup. I noticed the lighting unit has 2 ports. One...

My Sailfin Tang changes colors quite often from light to dark. Can't tell which means what. Is he happy when dark or light colored? He's usally a light in color but for no apparent reason goes dark for a couple hours every so often without any changes in his environment.

This weekend I installed my Phosban 150 with BRS HC GFO. Install was a snap and I'm actually fairly pleased with the simplicity and small profile of the reactor. However, it seems the GFO is not tumbling throughout the entire media. Most of the tumbling seems to occur on one area of the reactor...

I have no idea what this is growing on the base of my torch coral. Its about 1/4" in diameter. Somewhat soft to the touch. Sorry for the blurry pic but its the best my cheopo camera can take.

My carpet nem is too big for my tank. When fully expanded its close to 16" across. Eats well and is sticky. I got him in a basket now so its ready to go. It's predominately white in color but has hues of green and purple. Also included with it is a porcelain anenome crab. Guards the nem well and...
