Re: HUGE CRISIS W/ ABSOLUTELY FISH!

I've made that mistake before so you are not alone. I lost a lot of actual reef live rock. And I didn't know it till someone pointed out that my salinity was too high. Take it as a lesson learn, at your expense.

I currently use water from trop, when I can get it, sometimes I just don't have the time.
As for clean up crew, been trying to wait for the invert group buy, but I have some, but I know it's not enough.
Anyway, I'm thinking I'll break down the tank this weekend, if I can get to it. And just...
Hey everyone
well still have a issue with hair algae. I've been running Phosguard for about a week, and appears like it's not helping. I was wondering if I should scrub my L/R to get some of the h/a off or just scrap the l/r and start all over again. I don't know what is feeding the h/a, I've...
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
I think I'll go with the phosguard, don't have any corals in the tank right now. I'll run it through a powerfilter I have, has separate compartment for media. I'll put that in the tank and one in the w/d. Would that be ok? I have a canister filter...
Hey Subliminal,
that's how my tank looks right now, and I can't figure out what is feeding it. But Friday is reakoning day. Going to get out the old scrub brush and bucket and go to work. Also going to do a massive water change also. I might set up my 38 gal for a minute and break the 90 down...
Hey everyone
I'm about to change my substrate, don't really like the h/d play sand I current have in it. I also think it may be the reason I have a hair algae forest growing. So, I want to take it out. What is the best substrate for a DSB? I used to have 4 inches of Southdown, but that's not...
Cool HarryK
will get more turbos, I also spoke with Austin at trop who said that zebra stripe snails also do a good job, they just didn't have any. I can't wait for the next group buy on critters, definitely helped me the last time I had a outbreak. And believe it or not, the bulbs I had then...
Hey Sinkingbeach
I just set it back up about 2 months ago, and I didn't use the old sand, I gave that away and wish I didn't because it was full of life. I used play sand from H/D, the white one, maybe that's the problem. I had my water tested at Trop about 2 weeks ago and everything was find...
I too have a hair algae problem, a major one. It's so bad right now that if it wasn't for the love of the hobby I would just give up. I had a convo with my wife today, and all she wants is for me to take down my tank. I can't let hair algae break up a love affair between me and my tank, lol.
No...
hello
if you have any sand you want to get rid off, please let me know, I can certainly use it. I understand you pain also, had a goby that dug up my entire tank. As much as I loved him it was also a nussiance. But I don't have any corals, especially SPS'S and they're endency to be so...
