Is there an easy way to get coraline algae off of a sun coral? Mine has become so encrusted that the polyps are starting to have issues emerging.

I see all sorts of great ways to keep standard flat tanks clean and clear, but is there a tool to do the same with curved glass? I have a 46G bow-front that is a pain to clean... Weekly scraping with 1/2 of a magnetic scraper (inside part has blades) is a royal pain. The magnets were just too...

Ok... just for the record... I've never seen this stuff before, but can only presume by descriptions that others have provided, that my new 6-line wrasse has the very beginning of it. Bad part, I've never had a QT tank... :oops: We bought our last fish for our tank on Saturday, acclimated...

I purchased a sea hare on the advice that it would take care of hair algae... which it did, except for one spot... Then it simply up and disappeared... I've pulled almost all my LR looking for it... No sign of it. Water params are good... I've been getting my trates down with water changes and a...

I've posted these on another forum hoping for help... Will take the help where I can get it... :) My chromis and I thank you in advance.
