Welcome! What kinds of corals do you have?

Huh, that's an interesting gizmo! I usually do all my manual removal/scrubbing first and only then start siphoning. Then I use a net to catch all the drifting stuff that didn't get siphoned...

Well, I still have algae, as I mentioned in another thread. On the plus side, my clownfish are sure enjoying the situation, lolol.

So you think definitely hair algae and not bryopsis? Thanks!

Welcome! I like your aquascape. I'm a beginner, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but you might want some more snails (including ceriths) for the diatom bloom that is likely coming your way. If you look into HOB skimmers, I have Tunze Comline DOC Protein Skimmer 9001 and it seems to be...

Okay, so I thought that my bryopsis was back, but it's not responding to fluconazole this time (I tried two rounds of treatment). @psidriven thinks it might be hair algae instead. If so it's MONSTER hair algae. It's not feathery but grows long. Above, taken with macro lens. Below, in it's...

Hahaha I totally thought this thread was about freshwater. I just finished watering my plants with discarded water from my freshwater tank. For saltwater, uh , it depends on how much you hate your plants I guess :P

Hi Chez! Welcome to the club, it's a great group!

Thanks! I agree, real hardwood is so beautiful, and my first choice was to restore the original floors if they were still under there (1903 house), but they were removed at some point. I'm not anticipating a higher than normal amount of traffic on the floors right now, I don't have kids or...

Does anyone have any strong opinions on LVP flooring vs waterproof engineered hardwood? I bought a house that needs some work, and I am going to switch out the floors. I want something sturdy, and unfortunately the original hardwood floors are no longer. I thought I had finally made my mind...

Yes, a little bit! I have it in the back, where it can be viewed from the side, so it's not visible in the photo. I think it would be happier if I could get my nutrients up. I have a tuxedo urchin, and it keeps the rocks clean of everything except the bryopsis, but it won't touch that stuff...

I'm so sorry to hear about your fish! I had something really similar happen to me, all the fish just suddenly died on me with all inverts and corals being fine. Never did figure out what happened for sure, but I suspect a bloom of bad bacteria? I added some filter media from an established...

Thanks you all! That's so nice of you. I will let you know when I figure out moving time. I'm buying a house and want to do some work on it before the fish make the journey :D

Anyone know any good local aquarium services who move aquariums? I'm moving and I have two 40 gallon tanks to bring with me :( One reef tank and one planted freshwater, and I'm keeping all the livestock. Oakland to Oakland; date TBD.

Time for condolences, I lost a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Looks nice, how much water does it hold? Just curious.

Tank looks nice, good luck with it!

Welcome, and I hope the move goes well! I bet you will love having the additional space!

I'm bad at updates and got distracted by life stuff but the tank is going pretty well! All my fish are healthy, and have been joined by a Hector's goby. That guy hid in my rockwork for over a week, and I thought for sure he died and got eaten by snails, but now he's out and seems to be...

Good luck with your new fish! I hope he eats exactly the corals you want him to
