    Help with aptasia and green hair algae

    This might be considered overkill, but with a 14g biocube, I would just buy new rock and start over with that. Try and cut off some of the corals, but that is a pretty bad infestation. A pair of mated clowns in a biocube are going to be jerks, you can look at re homing them and getting some...

    Reefapalooza 2024

    The maven seemed like it could be a game changer. I think they put a lot of thought into the design and how easy it should be to use and clean. There are other all in one testing systems out there but they all seem to have problems. This unit I think they looked at those problems and tried to...

    Reefapalooza 2024

    Sorry we missed you to Bob, We grabbed fish basically right when we walked in there so we knew we have a time limit from the jump. Also, we had to grab our dog by 430, so it was not going to be a full day. I am sure we will see you soon. There was really nice torches all over the show room...

    Has anyone seen healthy copperband butterfly fish around!!

    Bought one from NY aquatics last week from their live sale. So far so good, but with copperbands you are never sure until you have had them for a long time. We had one for years that was amazing and it got bullied by our clownfish which is no longer in our system.

    Benepets Benereef

    We have been feeding this coral food for the last several months and have been impressed. Our SPS has never had better polyp extenstion and they growth has been noticeable. I didn't know if anyone else had any experience with it. Here is a very long dive into what it is and at the bottom...

    Advice please

    When you pull your sand, watch your alk. Sand has some buffering propoerties to it and when you remove it, it can swing your alk at first. Just test for the first couple of days. I agree with the above with not putting the tiles in. I also think they can trap a lot of gunk, which again is...

    Live rock outside 4 a few minutes!?

    During low tides, corals and rock in nature are out of the water for extended periods of time you are good. Yes wear eye protection and gloves, zoanthid toxin can blind you.

    Reef Safe Butterfly

    Butterflys are a little different from angels. There are certain butterflies that eat coral which is why you see some labeled as fish only. Butterflies can pick and SPS polyps. So they might not kill your corals but you won't relaly have polyp extension during the day. As Mark said above...
