hi it's not red algae, its cynobacteria you need to have balance in the tank to rid this. you need to be showing some po4 and nirates. you also need more water movement. the goby is a lovely fish, but it gets most of its food from sifting through the sand and getting small critters from in...

https://www.theaquariumsolution.com/content/david-saxbys-aquarium-18 He is MD of a major marine aquarium company(s) so he has probably developed some of the items and got them at cost(free) his tank is also a bit of a test bed. I would have a big tank and fish room, somebody would run it with my...

Would love to do a British coastline marine tank, unfortunately I don't have anywhere to seta new tank. And the wife also says can't have another lol

The old way scraping a tank was to have a wall of rock, food, dead or dieing fish can get trapped around the back of it. If a fish vanishes it usually ends up around the wall. I would have a spike shape (v) of rock coming from the filter end, you can still have hidey holes for fish in there. It...

To be trueful, when I can bothered. I top up every other day and prob. do a 30% change once a month.

Tank looks good but sorry to say it will back and normally very quickly. The tank is out of balance, you need a decent test kit rather than the API one. They are know to give false results. Get the po4 test ASAP. You need a balance between the po4 and no3. As it is a bacteria rather than an...

Will do a step by stepbut will have to wait a few days. Now back at work

you have a job now and staff discount lol

Somebody forgot to tell the ones i had

Used to have yellow gobies, they just hung around on top of the rocks watching me. So I wouldn't class them as bottom dwelling. Clowns tend to be OK with other fish until they start to breed, then the will defend their patch and the eggs

Used a Stanley knife blade, put some of the old filter media in the new filter. Didn't start to run the external till I'd removed the internal.

They just dissolve in the tank

Would have thought so, I did take the very first moult out and daughter took it to school to show her teachers. She brought home, but had got bored of it by then(having to look after it all day takes it toll on a 5 year old lol) so went in the bin

I just left the moults in the tank and they would just disolve/break down in there.

Congrats on the job, I started part time at Comet and was still there 18 years later when it shut down

Bobbit can grown upto 3m,in the tank they normally live in the rock and the only signs they are there, are fish or clean up crew go missing. They anchor their tail inside the rock and wil retreat at lightning speed. You can sometimes see a round hole in the rock. They tend to be nocturnal so...

I've just posted my little battle with black hair (brush) algae in the algae removal section https://www.fishforums.net/threads/black-hair-algae.472633/ I started by reducing my lighting period, I went from 10-8 to 1-8. The next thing i did was dose liquid carbon (slightly over recommended)...

After approx month and half the results are there to be seen The plants are loving the extra carbon and co2. the co2 isn't regulated at the moment it is waiting to be started again.

After doing a bit of hunting around on the t'internet, I got some Liquid Carbon and along with DIY co2, set about trying to combat this blooming algea Was dosing slightly more than the requested. was going with the hopefully the plants will start to take up more of the nutrients than the algea...

Hi Not been on for a while, but first returned to forum, I was struggling with Black Hair Algae To try to combat this, I started with shortening of light period. Was running blue and whites from 10 till 8. Cut this down to 1 to 8. Didn't make much difference to be truthful
