    Red Cyano?? (Asparagopsis)

    I myself had bubble algae, man what a pain!!! What worked for me as mentioned above is siphon them off without breaking, taking the rock out and scrubbing and rinsing in ro water. Emerald crabs were a waste of money for me. Never once seen them go after it. The best tank inhabitant for me was a...

    Getting a new bulb/ballast, advice needed

    I run 400w PFO hqi with the reeflux 10k, very sweet. The colors just pop. The xm 15k bulb has a very low par rating to by the way. My 02 would be if you are running double ended bulbs and you want more of a blue look go with the phoenix 14k, if running single ended bulb go with either Reeflux...

    Reef Ready Overflows?

    crazy nice Italian tank

    I turned SueT onto the Blue Coral Method about a month ago. Went and visited her and took her some food, "Pappone". Been following the thread over on RC, http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=971190&goto=newpost. Go to the first few pages, incredible tanks. Instead of HGH, using...

    how bad is aptasia?

    Berghia Nudibrachs, IF you can find them aptasia is their staple food. After they eat all the aptasia you either have to move them in a holding tank with rock that has aptasia or loan/rent them out. Otherwise they will starve to death. I'm on a waiting list now for some. I've had good luck with...

    Reef Ready Overflows?

    Who out there has a tank with reefready overflows. You know the ones that skim water from the surface and takes in water from mid level of the tank. I've heard good and bad about them. Looking for opinions, good and bad. Can't afford to have a custom tank built, almost $4000.00 for one the way...

    salvaging a sps

    You can make it without the shrimp. Since the shrimp has been froze and thawed it probably wouldn't be a good idea to use it. Just add extra of the other ingredients to make up for the shrimp. You'll always have to clean your glass due to algae film, brown or green. As long as it's not growing...

    salvaging a sps

    Hi Valarie, I caught your post over on the "other" forum about the recipe. If you can't get fresh (live) shellfish other than the shrimp you'll be fine. Just make sure you rinse it real well. The spirulina should be fine as long as there are no preservatives in it. Read the ingredients closely...
