Adrinal- What is FOWLR and HOB?

Ostrow- I was told to add iodine for my crabs and shrimps. I this ok? I didn't know an iodine test was available. Marine SAT is a bacteria that is sopposed to get rid of slime and algae. About the pH. I tested and it was 8. So I added the buffer once, and it went to 8.3. Thanks for the...

Ostrow- The only thing I add to my tank is B Ionic, Iodide, Marine SAT (recently), and a pH buffer (only once). Does this seem right? Anything else, or anything less? Thanks!

I don't have a alkalinity/hardness test. I do use a pH buffer chemical to achieve 8.3. I've started to use more Bionic to raise my calcium. What should my calcium be?

You guys are great! I'll check phosphates again this weekend and post the results! Thanks!!!!!

Thanks for the reply. I'm using DI water. I thought that phosphates become a problem above .03. Is that wrong? What are rowaphos? Thanks again!

I've been battling green hair algae for a month. My parameters are as follows: pH- 8.3 Ammonia- 0 Nitrites- 0 Nitrates- <10 Specific Gravity- 1.026 Calcium- 275 Phosphate- .02 Temp- 80F This is what I've done so far: - Every week I scrub my live rock with a toothbrush. - I do a water change...

Thanks guys!

I've got 2 yellow tail damsels I need to get rid of. I've got a big net, but I can't seem to get em. Any ideas? Thanks!

It's a green bubble tip. I have 350W power compacts in a 55 gal. Is that enough? Also- It seems like every morning the anemone is shriveled up to the size of a golf ball, (he's ussually the size of a football!), then filles out as the day goes on. Anyone know why? Thanks!! :D

What types of food and how much do you guys feed your anemones? Thanks in advanced!

Just thought I'd update everyone. All the fish made it!! :smb: :D I added about 30 lbs of live rock from that guys tank and it seemed to stop the spikes of my cycle cold! All levels are normal and I even got a tiny starfish and a colony polyp for free. (must of come on the live rock.)...

Thanks for everything! :D

Thanks for the info. How would you do the first cycle if you didn't have live rock? :dunno:

Thanks for the info. Do you think my fish are going to make it?

Yes, you heard right. I have 4 fish. I was told that they would help with the first cycle. I was also told they would survive the first cycle. Was I told wrong? What should I do now? Thanks for the help! :) :)

I have a 55 gal with 25 lbs of live rock. The tank is new. (2 weeks) I also have 2 yellow tail damsels and 2 green chromus. I found a guy in the paper selling his tank and access. He has had live rock in his established tank for about a year. I'm thinking of buying 30 lbs of his rock. Do you...
