    Tell me about LED lighting

    On a side note, I went from MH to LED to grow some plants. The LED results are outstanding. It blew MH away in terms of quality and quantity. I just switched my tank over to led from stock biocube lighting. I'll know more on how they are with my corals (mostly lps and softies) in about 3...

    Newbie - Biocube 14 Refugium Question

    Hi, I also have a biocube 14 that has not had a problem for over 3 years. First, keep it stock. Chamber 1,2,3 going from right to left. Chamber 3 having the return water flow. Use a small 50 watt heater in chamber 1. Chamber 2, use 4 or 5 bioballs on the bottom. Purchase a 6.5 ounce bag of...

    Devil Worm destroyed after 5 years of hunting!

    You can always try this. Used it for a couple bristle worms with great success. I still keep 2 worms in the tank. If I see them reproduce, I just put this device back in and get all the little buggers. http://www.marinedepot.com/miscellaneous_coralife_trap_em-ap.html

    What type of algae is this??

    I also used ChemiClean with excellent results. I have an entire bottle left if you want to borrow some. But I would def define what it is before treating your tank with an anti bacterial.

    Alagae issues see the pics and tank details any help appreciated.

    update: never used that powerhead. 15 days later, no Cyano has returned. Tank is flourishing. No damage to any livestock including copepods.

    Can I go without a skimmer for a month with a 28G Nano Cube?

    You can go forever without a skimmer in a nano. The amount of water volume changed per month, assuming you do a 20-30% water change, outweighs any benefits a skimmer provides the system. I have a bio 14 with no skimmer and stock filter, minus bioballs, and added a handful Chaeto macro algae...

    Alagae issues see the pics and tank details any help appreciated.

    Steve, you are dead on with the causes of Cyano except you don't mention poor water flow. However, all of the above have been addressed prior to resorting to chemiclean. As of today, the tank looks like new. During treatment, I did lose 2 heads of a candycane. Though I feel that was more...

    As of 2:00pm, all Cyano is gone. All corals still look healthy. Copepods can be seen roaming through the crushed gravel. System has another 10 hours before I do a 20% water change and put back the coal and purigen.

    yet another nitrate question/issue

    just make sure the test kits used haven't expired. I had huge no3 readings, even right from the filtered water system. Turned out, the expiration date expired on the kit. it was dated October 2006! And I bought it new on ebay last year. go figure. Hope this helps.

    Alagae issues see the pics and tank details any help appreciated.

    I started my chemical eradication approach yesterday at 10:00am. Added an airstone to the main tank, removed carbons and Purigen. Added a scoop of ChemiClean per 10gal of water, disolved first before pouring into the tank. When I left the office last night at 4:00, there were no changes to any...

    Also, a cleanup crew may or may not eat your Cyano (if that is what it is). I tried dwarf blue leg and hawaiian left footed hermit crabs with no positive results. They just won't touch it despite what people claim. http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/crabcarehermits/p/prdwarfbluelegh.htm
