    Yellow Tang Eating my ZOAS

    I strive for harmony I really don't see how I can keep the tang. He may start eating other zoas and palys. As much as I like having him I don't see how I can let him continue to eat the zoas.

    Yellow Tang Eating my ZOAS

    I was afraid of that kind of response. But sounds like good advice at this point. Not going to be an easy catch. If I can catch it would anyone be interested in a trade? Very unfortunate that I need to do this. He is a beautiful specimen. I have him about a year. Its Hawaiian around 3-4 inches.

    Yellow Tang Eating my ZOAS

    I had a nice rock full of 100+ eagle eyes and watched them slowly diminish. I wasn't sure what the problem was because everything else in the tank including other zoas look fine. Then I saw my yellow tang grazing on what I thought was algae on the rock but upon further inspection he was actually...

    Battling LHA

    I have battled hair algae in my now one year old tank for six months. I tried peroxide and a few other methods but to no avail. I was told it needed to run its course by my lfs. With some patience, water changes and vacuuming out what I could its finally 95% gone. The key is to keep nitrates and...

    Power head placement and Size

    Thanks for the input. I ordered two 750s and a controller from Captivating Coral. I'll probably pick them up tomorrow. I'll let everyone know the results.

    Power head placement and Size

    Hey Arnie, Thats also an option. $285 is a lot to plunck down on one powerhead. I'll have to think about that. I do like the idea but I cant seem to find much information on powerhead placement/water movement in corner tanks. The nice thing about the vortech is I could probably get away with...

    Power head placement and Size

    I tend to agree. I had some conflicting advice when I was planning the tank set up. I may put the nanos behind the rock work and get two 750s or 1050s. Thanks.

    Power head placement and Size

    I have a 54 gal Corner tank and running two Koralia 425 nano power heads. They are placed in the front side corners facing the center front of the glass. Is this enough water circulation. Should I upgrade to the 750s. The tank seems to be doing ok. slight hair algae problem and have had some...

    54 corner tight squeeze sump troubles

    I have the same setup. Its unfortunate that we can only fit a 10 gal sump but yes I am able to pull the sump in and out of the cabinet with little problem. You would be surprised at the amount of equipment you can fit under there. I have the oceanic stand with the glass front door. Not sure if...

    How's everyone making out (roll call)

    I was lucky to get a generator. Was price gouged though and paid $1600 for a $1000 unit. Happy to have it though. I ran it all day and turned it off at night in fear of looters stealing it. Valid concern by the way. It cost me about $50 a day to power the whole house. My only tank loss was most...
