Hey guys, My tank has this crazy brown algae all over it...not on the glass but on the live rock and rock bed. It's like brown spray paint...very thin and dusty. My water was just tested at MCF and is awesome. Blake told me it is as good as their levels. My tank has a crazy LED setup (which can...

Hey there! I am still new(ish) to the site and I really enjoy it! However, I find it hard to find the threads I participated in...or remember which ones they were. I frequent Yelp and in their talk section you can click "All talk" or "My talk" and it will show you all conversations or more...

Just curious when you guys change your filters...

Hey guys, I just recently added a YWG to my tank and I am curious as to its behavioral patterns. Because it's not the typical fish that swims back and forth I find myself going "OH GOD ITS DEAD!" like 5 times a day. It's something I'm learning to get used to and was curious if there's anything...

Hey guys! I moved my green star polyps to give them more flow and uncovered a pretty large blank spot (almost a cave) in my tank. Can't decide what to put there! Any cool suggestions?

I have a decent (for my tank anyway) chunk of green star polyps but they haven't been open in awhile. I had a pesky crab that stomped all over everything and got rid of it a week ago but they still haven't recovered. I talked to the guys at MCF about it and they suggested moving it so it can get...

Hey everyone! I have 2 threads going in a different section and don't know how to move it...so I'll just paste it all over here! Here's a link to the progress of my tank from the beginning! http://www.chicagoreefs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2834 And here's a link to the info about the...

I was on facebook and saw an ad on the side for a website to get a "deal" on a jellyfish tank. WHAT? It seems like if you are clicking a link off of facebook to buy a Jellyfish tank you have zero business starting one. Wouldn't that be like, "ah...maybe I'll start a seahorse tank!" :stupid:

Hey guys! I have a clumsy crab who bombed over a bunch of my corals and tore them free from the rock, knocked over, etc. I was TRYING to put my hand in there to deal with all of it but my clownfish kept darting at my hand and nipping me. I was trying to kind of wave him away and he kept doing it...

Being a beginner, I find myself getting spooked over the littlest thing that floats past in my tank. I have now encountered 2 different worms and this site seems to be really good with identifying what they are and what to do about them. Hope this helps others...

Yesterday noticed a long skinny white worm on my glass about 1+ inch long moving pretty fast. I used my siphon to suck it out of the tank and then tweezed it out of the bowl. When I tweezed it, it broke into two (individually moving) pieces so I was pretty glad I didn't grab it from in the tank...

I am trying to think of maybe 1 last addition to my tank and am considering a Mandarin Goby (haven't decided WHICH kind yet) and was hoping to hear some feedback. I did a search on here and saw some people had them and one person was able to feed it pellets which is good for me! It seems like it...

I JUST got it installed...big thanks to rattyE36 and JVC for getting it all hooked up and running! Corals are scared so they aren't open yet!

Hey guys, My fire shrimp died kind of randomly and I am thinking it might have to do with me feeding my fish sinking pellets vs the frozen shredded stuff. When I feed sinking pellets my clownfish and fire fish go right for them and eat everything up...perhaps leaving nothing for the shrimp? I...

Hey guys, This is my very first post in here! I just got started with a Fluval edge convert and it's been up and running for about 2 months now. I have had a lot of help from rattyE36 and JVC as well as the guys at Midwest Coral Farms. Now it's time to start learning on my own! I just started...
