Red algae Vs Bacteria easily friable all over glass & LR. What to Do?

Have a mixed tank w LPS (Favites, open Brain) and a few fish. Thoughts on color spectrum, intensities and daylight time, ramp up, moonlight settings on Red Sea's E series Hydra lighting.

Have a 90 Gallon Tank w Sump, 80 lbs of Cured Live Rock, Some soft corals, Inverts and Fish. My water readings have been pretty stable until this week. My pH has been slowly dropping as has my dK. pH from8.2 to 7.9, dK from 8 to 4.5, Calcium still between 420-440. Have had these results...

Thanks. So the Maroon is difficult. Thought maybe it's aggression and propensity to be larger than other Clowns would make it a better fit for Lionfish. Everyone says the Achilles Tang is a difficult fish to keep. Beautiful though. Are Tangs hypersensitive to Ich? Enough to make a beginner want...

Maroon Clownfish -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As my empty tank cycles I am waiting patiently to add fish. Trying to do research on behaviors of potential candidates. I absolutely love Clownfish and Lionfish and have had lots of varying...

Sorry to hear about the current state of affairs :( Hopefully things get better!! :crazy:

The 10-20x/Hour recommendation. Is that filter only? Can I include the cycling of Powerheads aswell (Ex Filter pump 6X/hr, plus Powerheads 4-14X/Hr)?

OK. Newbie to Marine Aquariums. Bought 2 books, visited 3 local Aquariums Stores, been online here and at Fish-Forums.com and Fishforum.com. Recieved lots and lots and lots of at times conflicting opinions. Trying to form a Meta-Analysis for clarification. A little about my tank.. I have a 90...

1. How large of a tank do you need to function as a QT Tank? I have a 90 gallon tank (Fish Only, currently cycling w Cured, Live Rock). Have a sump w Mech/Chemical filter (BioBalls REMOVED) and a protein skimmer which I'll eventually add prior to the addition of Livestock. 2. Do I also need...

Gotten lots of great advice here. So my tank is set up (90 Gallons w 110 gallon sump w a wet/dry filter) Salinity is at 1.019, Temp at 78F, add 80 lbs of Live sand and 90 lbs of cured LR today. The pump for my filter is a Rio 2500 (about 6X Total Volume/Hr). Add stability and Prime and am...

Thanks! Read a couple of books. Got a bunch of opinions. Formed a quasi-Meta Analysis. Set the Tank up today (Will be Fish Only) w the Sump containing Mechanical/Chemical and Biologic filter (Pump Rio; 540 Gallons/Hr) Will purchase 1-1.5 lbs of Live rock and start a fishless cycle. Will also...

The people at my aquarium keep trying to sell a Fish cycle w Damsels. Seems cruel to get a fish I don't want and possibly kill it during the cycle or have to "Dispose" of it afterwards. Someone recommended "Stability" and "Prime" by Seachem. The directions on the Stability is to add daily w Fish...

Again, thank you very much!

Thanks! Do you think I could keep two A. Percula, A Zebra Lionfish (Or two), and maybe a butterfly fish in the Tank? Or instead of a butterfly maybe a Tang or Triggerfish? Definitely want clowns and Lionfish (If possible) and flexible on the remaining tank mates. Are Lionfish safe w Anemones and...

Thank you soo much!!!!!

Whats the quickest way to cycle a new tank. Have a 90 Gallon Tank w 110 gallon sump and a Wet/Dry filter. Bought "Live Sand." Question #1: Does anyone advise adding artificial Bacteria to hasten the process? Anyone against it? Question #2: When should I add live rocks? Right away? Cured or...
