Well I started out with one nice sized anemone that eventually grew into a large problem (my clowns would argue that point). I have reluctantly tolerated its ever expanding body for some time now. Just recently it decided to split, doubling my problem. I was "playing" in the tank tonight and...

Me again..... I have noticed the growth of what seems to be some type of hard algea in one particular location over the last couple of months. They are clearly growing and spreading. I have started to notice a few in other random locations now as well. They are kind of cool looking, but as with...

Hello all.....I have had a bubble tip anemone in my 225 for about 6 months. I feed him chunks of squid every 10 days or so. He is hosting a mated pair of Gold Stripe Maroon Clowns and is clearly happy with his location. All seems well right? Well not for much longer at this rate. He has doubled...

I have a large yellow tang in my 225 and I would really like to add a purple tang. I realize that because they are conspecies this is often a problem. I just wanted some feedback from others. My yellow is not very aggresive, but then again he is the largest fish in the tank. Thanks!

So I finally have my system officially up and running. All is doing pretty well, but I have been battling hair algae for a few weeks. I read that raising Magnesium levels can be very effective so I gave it a try. Yes, it does seem to have an effect, but it is not a complete solution. Although...

I am new to the hobby and I don't know my corals and inverts at all. Anyway, I picked up over two hundred pounds of rock from people breaking down their tanks over the last couple of weeks. Below are the items in question. I know that there are Aptasia in some of the pictures and I am working on...

I just put a few Emerald Crabs in my tank to help with bubble algea. They are on the bottom of the tank with the belly of their shells open and are picking at the "contents" as if there were eating something. Has anyone ever seen this before?

I have my skimmer up and running for the 1st time. By the way, this is my first experience with a protein skimmer. I have an ASM G4X. I completed a gate valve modification so that I can fine tune the flow. Anyway, after 3 days with 100 lbs of live rock in the system, I have very little in the...

Thanks to Rich T, I have a fantastic custom sump for my new 225. I finally finished all of the plumbing and with much anticipation, I started the pumps. Good news is, no leaks. Bad news is, a lot of noise. It is coming from a few places. The two Iwaki 30's are fairly noisy. I have them...
