    Bleached Anenome Care

    Chemiclean is a fine way to remove small outbreaks. You don't have to take my word on it. But I swear that it is safe for your tank. I had a chain of events leading to the bleaching. Problem 1: Hair algae...blankets of it on sand. (due to me being a dumbass). I used Algaefix and it stunted...

    Bleached Anenome Care

    I had caused my Rose Bubble problems. I was battling red slime last month and finally won. Durring that process I made the mistake of stressing Rosey. Now she is bleached. The only good thing is she still comes out and blooms and basks in the light. I am curious on proper TLC care needed...

    PUR faucet filter

    I was wondering about the PUR water filter on sinks. I tried searching for info here and google. There was no data on Phosphate,Nitrites, or nitrates when I checked the official site. If I had to top off water, would using one of those Pur filters reduce those elements? I know its not as...

    I jumped the gun, questions on best path from here

    The blooming is normal..let it take its course. And if you still have those fish in there...personally I would change one gallon a day of the water for the first month. it will lighten the blow on your fish with the cycling some..

    I jumped the gun, questions on best path from here

    Im still a newbie 7 months later but Ive learned: 1. 20% weekly changes..or one gallon a day changes are good. For nano's after you wait month or two. 2. Top off only with RO/DI 40 cents a gallon at Albertsons 3. And use cured live rock 4. crushed coral or live sand Then watch the algae...

    what starts cyano?

    Roscoe im not very fond of Aquarium Paradise but they have Chemi Clean or Blue Life red slime remover. Indoor reef caries the Kent Marine Poly-ox Ive also read even cutting down your lighting by 50% for a few days "imitating cloudy days" in a way..can help speed things up.

    Brand new to this

    For powerheads I like the Korilla brand. for your tank size a Korilla lvl 4 x2 would be sufficient in my opinion. For the closed system I don't know enough to advise. You will need the advise of the more advanced people in here. Make a topic specifically about that in advanced section. You...
