Coraline growth is begining to take off in my tank. Right now it's only growing on the black back of my display (and the rocks of course). I don't mind it being on the back, but I don't want it on the glass, what's the best way to keep it under control?? Thanks

I've been doing lots of reading and have seen some unique aquascaping lately. My rocks have been cooking for the past 8-9 weeks and I'm ready to start planning my new aquascaping and would like to build some solid pillars using a combination of epoxy and a single internal rod running from top...

In my 55 gallon fish only i have this hard green algae growing on my back glass and corners. I tried scraping it with the kent pro scraper metal blade and i got most of it but its so hard to get off. The whole back wall is covered in it. What the heck is this stuff? I scraped what i can and went...

Hello, I was hoping to get everyone out theres suggestions on my next tank choice. I will be getting a 120(48x24x24) I can't decide if acrylic or glass would be a better choice. I am a little worried about having my halides over the acrylic. any suggestions would be appreciated, and also, any...

For all of you guys with acrylic tanks, how do you clean the hard algae off your glass? I use a kitchen sponge that is semi-rough, but i still have to wipe HARD to get the stuff off. Is there a better way?

for those who use magnetic algae scrappers, do you leave it in the tank when not in use or remove it after each use? -hayday
