    Tank glass turning green

    I have the odyssea fixture too but with icecap ballast. I haven't really thought about changing the bulb. I'll try anything just to get rid of those green stuff. Did you have the same problem Bill?

    Tank glass turning green

    Tank been up 4 months now. I run my light 8hrs, is that too long? All my corals i got from other reefer. I didn't add anything new after the water change. This has been ongoing. I just don't know what's causing it.

    Tank glass turning green

    I hope someone can tell me what's wrong with my tank. I just did a 20% water change a week ago. But for some reason my tank is starting to turn green again. This has been going on ever since i got into the hobby. My tank is a 100gal. I did a phosphate check and it's reading zero. Im using...

    RO/DI filter system

    what i was wondering if a four stage filter system is sufficient enough or does it need to be a 5 or 6 stage.

    RO/DI filter system

    I planning on purchasing a ro/di filter system but not really sure what's the recommended stage of filtration. I'm also on a budget, so any suggestions will really be helpful.

    Water Change

    My tank is 100 gal. with skimmer and refugium. I have a couple zoa, acan, pulsing pom pom, xenia, mushroom and rbta. Also i have four fish in it also. Around 70lbs of live rock. Fish i feed once a day, everything else i feed twice a week. Is that too often?

    OD my tank with Calcium

    I'm new to the hobby. I OD my tank with calcium. My calcium is somewhere around 500ppm, calcium test kit is made by salifert. Is there anything i can do to reverse the effect. Some of my mushroom, i think is dead. Thanks
