So I finally bit the bullet and ordered everything from Atlas Scientific to add ph monitoring to my homegrown reef controller. Everything seemed to be working fine on the bench so I calibrated it and stuck it in the tank. And the reading was 10.5. Thinking I might have a bad pump that was...

Mostly softies and lps. They're not doing great, mostly just staying as is so I was wondering if I should add something. I have ocean blend coral vibrance from dong that I dose to my main tank. Maybe I'll add that once a week?

For the people that have frag tanks what do you feed the tank, if anything? Also are you using any additives other than the big 3? I have nothing besides a few frags in it at the moment. Thanks, Shawn

The stock pc were only producing 50 par halfway up in the middle of the tank for me. I had to upgrade to leds to grow anything more than shrooms and zoas. S

Here's a good before pic for comparison.

I put the rapid led retro kit in mine. Puts out more light than you need. They have a solder and non solder kit. Its pretty easy if your handy. http://www.rapidled.com/coralife-biocube-29-kits/ S

So, couldn't find an urchin right away and decided to try fluconazole after reading how it works. It turned the fuzz into jelly that came right of off. Some of the corals might not make it but as least it's not taking over my tank anymore. Here's what the qt tank looks like now.

I need my card as well. Thanks, Shawn

My first pistol shrimp (very small candy cane) made his way through the back chambers of my biocube where he lived for months. He found a nice little spot where i could never get him and passed away. :( But I could here him snapping away at night while he was still alive. My second shrimp is...

It's smothering some things. Some things don't care. Mushrooms keep bailing and floating around the tank. S

Decided to try another sample. This time I strained it with gentian violet. Not sure it'll help with an id but you can see the sheath is still see thru but the inside is very dark. I grabbed a big blob of it and it feels like filter floss its so coarse. 1945b is 100x 1946a is at 400x...

Sadly it's been a few months and it hasn't gone away on its own. If it was above water I would without a doubt say it was fungus growing on something. Even my qt without any fish just a few corals and no feeding it's growing on the sides, egg crate, everywhere. At least the qt doesn't have the...

Here's a 400x pic of the red slimy part. These guys are very motile.

Here's a 100x and 400x pic of the white fuzz from my son's microscope. Shawn

I have 2 clowns, 2 clown gobies, 2 fire fish a watchman goby and pistol shrimp, emerald crab some hermits & snails. Biggest ones by far are the clown fish and even they're pretty small. I'm actually running phosguard and have been for a year or so. I had a hair algae out break last spring but...

Running an Aquatic Life skimmer in the first chamber and I recently bought a tunze 9001 for the second but haven't had much success with getting that working. I'm also running phosban to try and keep my phosphates low. I'll have to look at the actual model numbers but I have the stock return...

Forgot to mention, I tried chemiclean on it thinking maybe it was cyano but it didn't really do anything to it. Shawn

The tank is a Coralife Biocube 29 with a Rapid LED conversion on it. The leds are only 14 months old. I've been trying the old fashion way for a few months without any luck. The long stuff comes off easily but the short stuff is almost impossible to remove. I've been doing weekly 15% water...

gurumasta, it does sort of look like those. it started off short and if you take a turkey baster to it the longer stuff blows right off but a short white layer stays. Chris, no carbon dosing. I was going to start but this started and I read about things like this happening with it so I've held...

Hoping someone can help with this. It's getting worse and now its starting to have cyano grow on top of it. On a positive note my clinician are spawning. Wish they'd clear off all the rock instead of just the one spot. Thanks Shawn
