    Turning the corner

    I finally have some good news and momentum in fighting what i thought to be dinoflagellates. It took extensive cleaning/scraping followed by water changes, adding uv sterilizer, increasing ph, and minimizing feedings. I hope for continued success!

    Battling the dino menace

    I've been off the boards for a bit, and honestly the most discouraged i have been in four years of the hobby. I have been battling what i thought was cyano, but im now sure it is dinoflagelates.

    Pukani leaching phosphates

    I was posting on keisha's thread but decided to start my own. I added one piece of pukani dry rock to my 100g display, thinking the tank would be able to handle it. I was wrong. Three weeks in and i have a cyano and brown algea outbreak like never before. I had tried water changes, syphoning...

    Reef octopus 2000 help

    My skimmer looks like it has crapped out on me. I turned it off and when i went to turn it on, it would not. I took it out of the sump, cleaned it, and put it back. I could feel the pump vibrating but not pushing water. Might be time to buy a new one. I only have a space 9 and 1/2 inches...

    Fish Tank Kings > than Tanked

    I saw Fish Tank Kings on Nat Geo Wild this weekend and have to say, it is much better than Tanked, imo. It's a more well rounded show with a marine bioligist on staff who actually quaratines! I just wish I had the channel in HD. Highly recommended!

You can watch the video here: (May want to change to...
