    Hi everyone, it's been a while since I posted. Got pretty busy and tank was neglected for months.

    Tuxedo urchin stealing frags

    So I had a bubblegum millepora that was doing very poorly in my tank. It almost definitely wasn't going to make it anyway so I moved it lower on my rocks to see if a new placement could help it. I didnt bother gluing it to the rock. This was about a week ago. I completley forgot about it because...

    Low Potassium level in reef crystal

    A while back I posted about my DT having very low potassium levels and after much research I am thinking it is part of the reason my coral colors are not where they should be. So I've done many large water changes and still 330 ppm potassium. I started testing fresh salt batches of reef...

    Return Pump failure

    So I left for the Carribean for 9 days and not even a full 24 hours after I left, my basement return pump that I've had for about 9 months fails.

    How to raise nitrates

    I've been doing a lot of reading on how to raise nitrates and I'm not a huge fan on most of the ideas such as stump remover, turning off protein skimmer, or just way overfeeding. I cant seem to find a product made for aquariums to raise nitrates. Does anyone know of a good product that will...

    Poly filter pads

    Anyone ever use the poly filter pads? I've been using them for a couple months now and they always turned green on me. I never thought anything of it before but I noticed other peoples always turned brown. When I looked it up it says green means free copper ions. Blue just means regular...

    Blue velvet nudibranch

    After extensive research on getting rid of flatworms (the harmless kind) I've decided to not go with chemicals since it isn't necessary. I plan on getting a blue star leopard wrasse when I find one but in the mean time I have read the blue velvet nudibranch only eat flatworms. Saltwaterfish.com...

    I bought a small rock with two types of zoas and some other coral on it. Id like to remove the zoas and put them on a frag plug to seperate them and also dont want the rock in my tank any longer since I don't want the coraline algae taking over. On videos people show methods of using a wood...
