    Why is it so important to have uber-clean water for sps tanks? I know that soft corals are an issue with the various "clear the way" toxins, but nutrients? Doesn't that justmake your tank look like scheiBe? derek

    Ok I am getting this red nasty red algea with big *** air bubbles in it on the sand bed, on the live rock, on the filters, etc. It is nasty. I keep blowing it off with a big turkey baster, but it comes back pretty quickly. What is it? Why is it here? Why does it come back. How the hell do...

    1) Macros don't out-compete hair algae. Never did, never will. See Adey... Example, my 40g breeder crashed. Nothing alive. Added macros. Got hair algae all over it - no micro-grazers there! (Fe didn't help) I cleaned it out. Set it up again, added macros, lots of pods. Hair algae free now...

    I have a reef tank. It was running beautifully for about a year when I started to notice a deep red, almost wine colored "slime" growing on my live rock, substrate, glass & even on my macro algae. It is very delicate to the touch. If I pick up a piece of rock & shake it, the stuff comes right...

    I have noticed over the last year or so that when reefers buy wet dry systems they immediatly remove the bio-balls. The reason reefers do this is the worry of anobiolic bateria growth. This bateria will turn the bio balls into a nitrate factory. With this being said I believe that bio balls are...

    Ok, I know I am kind of all over the board here but here goes: First, I should say that I have NOT been using RO water. I have been using plain old aged tap water. I know, I know-Im a terrible reefer. But I really didn't think I'd get into corals or other inverts (little did I know... ) So...
