    RO/DI Water Filters/Inserts

    I have a Bulk Reef Supply 5 Stage "Plus" system. How ofter do you change the filters on yours? That being after how many water changes, or gallons you think you run through it. The gage has recently been showing: 001 for output. Sometimes going back to 000, but mostly (lately) stays at 001. My...

    What the heck is this??????

    What is this????? I found it in my tank tonight. The tank is 6-7 months old. It kinda blended with the rock. But, then when I pocked it with a tong, it looked like it sucked up a bit tighter to the rock. So, I pried it off the coral. The shell looks what I would call "potato bug" one might...

    Red Algae

    Ya, its the red slimy stuff. I can lower the timer on the lights, and maybe install another pump. I have two in there now, along with the sump intake on on-side. And, the pump out-let on the other. Some one said overfeeding. I could be guilty of that. Is that a cause too? I'll cut-back. What...

    Red Algae

    My tank seems to be having red algae spreading more, and more. I'm using RO/DI water, change water (32 gal) every 3rd weekend (Instant Ocean Reef mix). What can I do to make this go away? Should I increase water changes? Decrease light timers? 125 gallon tank with 40 gal sump tank. Last...

    How to raise PH & Calcium

    I don't know about the baking soda. But, there are additives you can buy to raise both. I was using a calcium additive for a bit, but my tank has been holing its own for some time now. Check you local hobby store.

    Feeding Anemones

    I do. But, right now they are only hosting one of them. I was worried about the other.

    Feeding Anemones

    How do you feed Anemones? Just leave them with good a good light source? Do they just filter the water? Can I inject him with brine shrimp in his mouth?

    Yellow Anemone With Clown

    Ok, thanks. Guess We'll just have to keep an eye on it. I will say, after searching for yellow nem's on the web. They are all that bright/fluorescent yellow. Yes, that looks suspect. Unless mine was done some time age, its never been that bright to the best of my knowledge. You noted never...

    Yellow Anemone With Clown

    So, you're saying all nem's are dirty white, or brown only? He's been in the tank for over two months, and looks the same as when I got him. I'm not expert, but don't they fade in 2-3 weeks if dyed?

    Yellow Anemone With Clown

    I dunno. I was at my LHS when they were unpacking a shipment. I got it right out of the box.
