    Ammonia Spike I cant get rid of

    So i have a 200g that has been established for about a year. I randomly added my livestock and built everything up, however when I would plan to add a fish I would also add a few pieces of rock to make a new cave and confuse my purple tang. I have about 150-180 lbs of live rock in my 220g tank...

    What did this to my anemone

    So yesterday my Sherman BTA stayed deflated behind a rock all day. This morning he moved out and started to inflate and then I noticed something odd. It looks like dead flesh, the clowns are picking at the dark colored flesh and that small area of him won't inflate. I doubt this is what happens...

    Cloudy water...carbon reactor or UV

    So i have recently upgraded from my 120 to a 210 reef tank. In the month and a half the new system has been running (using the existing rock and water from the previous tank) I have formed a pretty good bacteria bloom which is causing cloudy water. Now researching this I see people recommend...

I have seen mixed reviews on keeping these two fish together. Im running a 125 with a regal blue tang and some anthias and a pair of clowns. Any suggestions on...

    chiller repair

    I have a Teco TR20 chiller that keeps blowing fuses. Unit gets pretty hot too. My AC in my house went out yesterday and I cant keep my tank cool with this chiller blowing fuses. I already lost 5 fish so I hooked up my TR5 chiller to help. That was like throwing a water balloon at a house fire. I...

    Advise on skimmer

    I am currently running a coralife super skimmer on my 120 gallon set up. One of the things I am trying to accomplish is having a somewhat clear water column. I went with the coralife skimmer because it is a HOB that takes up little room in my sump (in have a small footprint for a skimmer...

    Something eating my sponge coral.

    So I have noticed these little pest eating groves in my red tree sponge coral. They look like Copepods but I could be wrong. Has anyone had this trouble before? My only guess is to go get a mandarin dragonet?

    Should I add a Calcium Reactor

    I am in a big debate here on what to do. I dont really have problems with Cal and Alk, however my test kits conflitct from time to time and I do dose both somewhat often. I have a co worker looking to part with a Calcium reactor that I can get at a decent price. Should I buy one just to have...
