Looks like cyano, we got it when we got some direct sunlight and temp issues. Having no flow there will always make it a problem algae spot as detritus will settle there. If you can't fix it with a powerhead, blast it with a turkey baster to clean it up. Siphon as much out as you can and keep...

1.03 isn't great but it is not terrible. When we were running HOB everything and were topping off by hand, our salinty could hover there for a few days. I usually just corrected it when I did the weekly water change.

When we moved we were setting up two brand new tanks that had never had water in them. We called Ethan at AO and he came down to do the plumbing and what not to setup the new tanks. I would highly recommend him for doing this. However, it sounds like if you are just moving your tank and...

Is it possible at all to take your refugium off line? Just throw a power head and heater in there and let it run while you are treating the rest of the tank? This would give you a safe haven for all your inverts and would not affect your pod population during the treatments. The basic dosing...

Very nice thread, everything looks great.

+1 with not using the sand and just going out and buying new live sand. That sand is loaded with nitrates and probably sulfer dioxide. You need to rinse sand in saltwater until it is completely clean which is a lot of effort and a lot of saltwater plus you have to worry you did not get it all...

What kind of puffer is it? I know you say it is very timid, if I had to guess who was causing problems in your tank I would say puffer. Did you test ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates?

I am down, have really wanted to get up to Joe's aquarium as he has been down here for us several times.

4 looks like rhodacitis to me 5 looks like sponge 7 maybe a scroll 1 maybe kenya tree? (some sort of softie)

Food: Kids area: Kittens for those that missed them:

Sorry for the delay, here are some pics:

Love the 20 tall, it was one of our first tanks. Good luck, looking forward to following the progress.

Put some pictures up if you can, it could be diatoms or dinos or cyano. Each can have a different path of action to rid them.

Looks really nice, I like the rockwork.

My first thought was algae too. We have had it in our 12 before, small red bubbles.

I have a couple of pics I took, of course when I pulled out the camera the battery was dead so I had to charge it. I will get them up tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone who made it down and donated frags for the raffle. It was good to see the family again.
