I used a product called clarity http://www.seachem.com/Products/product_pages/Clarity.html it clots the stuff and your filter sock or whatever filter media you have then can filter it out. The clarity is safe I used it on tanks with many corals inverts and everything else in it. The green water...

The more I look at it the more I start to think its a clever way to get hobbyists to buy 5+ very expensive consumable products. Like the pharmaceutical companies wanting to make medicines that relieve but never cure to keep you on it for life.

Try the red ones they are supposed to actually live :-\

logic would say flow and lighting are the only two differences in your two tanks..

Come on... buy the ones that already eating at the store. Ask them to show you it eats if they wont show you or it doesnt eat dont buy it and maybe even stop shopping there. They are responsible to sell you a fish that will eat readily available food. The last one I bought the store owner...

Go check out Underwater World one of the sponsors here. They are down in Roselle Park N.J. if you want to see amazing show corals really rare stuff.

He is living in my Favia coral... It is jet black and acts like a snail in a shell if botherd, it will contract to the point it disapears. In the picture it is about as far out as it will go. Thanks all

Well found driveway marker posts, made from sold fiberglass rod 5/16th x 4ft for $1.98 at home depot. These things are strong and cheap!

I finally got around to doing this, ended up drilling both holes with the tank filled since it was an emgency replacement tank. I lowered the water level by half, stored the water in some bins. Built a valley with some duct tape and heavy black bag material. The trick to doing this way is to...

Cool link thanks.. Anyone have a lead on PVC "pegs" I envision a 3/8" rod made from PVC that can be cut into whatever lengths that are needed. Visited the the big box stores, home depot etc etc did not find anything usable. Only the vinyl bolts and they were not ideal at over $1 each and most...

Heya all, Just wanted to know some inventive ways you guys ahve stuck rocks together. I want to build a hollow mountain or a bridge maybe from some larger rocks. I believe foam insulation in a can is sometimes used? I would like to drill holes in the rocks and use PVC pegs maybe to hold the...

Thats interesting I am in Rahway they use the same water as I understand it.

nothing was put in there except ro/di water red sea pro salt and the corals from the leaking tank. Brand new rinsed caribsea aragonite, special grade, two big bags and one small bag same stuff but the alive version. No live rock at all yet. PH is little low (A Red Sea problem?), ammo, nitrate...

Hmmm TDS at 15ppm pretty low. Where are the nutrients coming from. Brand new tank from a local store. I did use red sea reef salt for the first time. Another thing the tank was extremely dirty, not from the local FS, I picked it up 2 hours after it got delivered to them from the distributor...

thanks guys, great suggestions, as many times as I have been to Ocean Gallary I never even thought of calling them for a TDS meter. TB Aquatics is great too, I have ordered online from them before. I never relized they had a store front. A little far but, I will make it a point to visit them one...

Anyone know where to get a TDS meter locally? Somewhere near Rahway N.J. Thanks all. PS: Someone told me they got one at CVS but two i checked near me dont seem to have them.

Either that or have my water level run low and the filter system go dry while im a away, never had a problem or than the green tint. Right now tho its so bad I can only see 2-4 inches visibility wise, its blocking light to the corals.

120 gal, T5s, refugium, skimmer. All my live rock is dead now and still sitting outside in a bin. About 30 corals, two small clowns, one 6" carpet anime, a 3 peppermint shrimps. The reason I ask about the filter is becasue everytime I was going away and at the last minute I would top off with...

I have DI also, it is a 6 stage filter unit. 1 sediment white filter and 2 others that look the same sort of (Carbon and Carbon?), 1 RO and 2 DI. No feedings. I brought some fresh RO water to the local place I buy from they could not find their TDS meter while I was there. Will go buy a TDS...

Newly setup tank got green water bloom, pretty sure my RO/DI is not doing its job. Which filter\filters cartridges need changing to get the right water out of it to keep this from happening? I will use my diatom filter to get the green out. I am sure it will come right back until I get my RO...
