everything you do inside of an in-wall tank is more difficult because you are working from behind and really cant see what you are doing, plus im a on a step ladder b/c the tank is high up. its just a pain. the price you pay i guess. if i had a regular tank i might try to net him somehow with...
purple psuedo has managed to kill my firefish and all my anthias. i wish i could get this fish out of my tank somehow. i dont want to even add any more fish b/c this thing is so nasty. he is picking on my clowns now, but they are actually fighting back.
currently have 2 clown, 3 tangs, and one...
first of all, your set up is amazing. i am going to copy your set up as soon as i hit the lotto or get divorce (which is pretty much the same thing- just kidding).
one question, i have my kalk reactor set up in same exact way as yours, but i dont have nearly as much kalk in mine. do my eyes...
lessen learned.
the only reason i even switched salts was because will was out of reef crystals and i was too impatient to wait. probably because it had been like over three months since i had done a water change.
awesome set up. kinda jealous. one piece of advise about that phosban reactor 150, id hang it the other way inside your sump. this way if it ever starts leaking, it wont be on your floor. i am speaking from experience. better to learn from someone elses mistakes if you know what i mean. the...
did another 50g water change with reef crystals salt. added a 2nd phosban reactor 150 and used it clemi pure elite in it. put a poly pad in my canister filter. and checked my alk, which was slightly low 6-7, but nothing crazy. rasied that back up to 10 dkh and calcium is at 390-420. corals are...
the verizon network is FAR superior. this is proven time and time again by independent drive testing. buying a fancy phone on any other network is like buying a vette with the engine from a kia. not only is vz's network better than any of the carriers right now, but verizon will be the first to...
Corals dying! I did a 20% water change the other day and some of my corals are not too happy about it. After Reef Crystals for years, I tried SeaChem Reef Salt. My Leathers, Zoas, Palys, some shrooms, & Kenya Trees are all shriveling up.

yeah i a lot of snails and hermits, but i havent added in over a year.
i havent used ipsf in a long time, since i had a55g. but i remember being happy with theit clean up crew and my tangs always loved the macro that they sell. i would like to add some to my fuge and feed my tangs a bit from...
my tank has become slowly consumed by brown diatom like algae. i am thinking that it may be partly due to the fact that i havent really keep up with my clean up crew. snails and hermits looking a bit thin. i have used this package in the past-

so, should i just leave the nuisance algae growing my fuge? i been removing thick slimy red stuff from my fuge once a week. i have some cyano in my DT, and some brown algae that seems to taking over my tank. almost like diatoms, except thicker. i dont know. sick of algae.
how old is the tank? i swear every tank will go thru a phase of cyano regardless of water quality and lighting. i think it is just part of a maturing process. i just try to syphon as much of it as i can and keep up with consistent water changes. eventually it will pass. good luck!
