WTH. My acros started to have white tips again. Last time this happened it was for sure due to my alk going over 8 since I run pellets. My alk has been rock solid at 7.1 to 7.3. I would test 2 times a week. Nitrate 0 and Phos 0. Also most of the coral have now lost their vibrant color and look...

I ventured into the SPS world with this new tank and I have failed miserably in my eyes. The Alk,Cal,Mag are all stable, but there is something else going on in my tank. I did screw up with dosing alk to much at a time, and that just made everything go down the drain. But I am back on track...

Hey guys I have a huge toadstool that is taking up precious real estate. The whole one side of the toadstools stem has grown onto the rock. Can I just peel the whole thing off. I know you can cut them up but what about while its in the water. I've read before they can nuke the tank with there...

Hello everyone, The SPS bug bit me so I have been just adding SPS frags for now to the tank so I have been checking my parameters and getting them dialed in. The problem is that I can not get my ALK to go higher then 7DKH. I dose kalkwasser all day and use baking soda to try and raise the...

Hey everyone, I seen an old thread about last years Aquatic Experience. Was it any good thinking about going. Is there any live stock they sell or are they all dry good vendors?

Has any trapped a pistol shrimp before. I want this thing out of the tank, but I can not take out any rock to catch him. I tried the bottle trap, but all I am catching is snails and crabs, and caught his goby friend which he was not happy about. I was away for my honey moon for 10 days and he...

Hey guys.. I cant figure out what type of algae has started on my rocks and sand. Some of the algae has little bubbles coming out of it in strands. I sounds like Dinos but it does not look like it from what I have seen on the web. It is very green and blows off the rocks very easily. A month...
