I have a 30 gal. tank with 5 fish and some soft corals. In the last few days, I have 3 spots about 3" - 4" in diameter, which have a pink-maroon color very thin growth on the bottom. I sure don't want it spreading. Thoughts on what it is? What to do to get rid of it?

I'm not asking about the ones in the bottom left. They are completely different. What there is the most of. They are more purple than brown. And the greenish tips are normally not there. Just a light color. I think the lights are adding in a little green.

This coral has completely taken over one of my major rocks in a small (34 gal) aquarium and I need to identify it, so I can pass it on to someone who can appreciate it. It is encroaching on two other nice corals. Your assistance would be appreciated.

What is the green coral in this photo? It was doing fine, and then it all died within a few days, and there is no trace of it at all. I did kill some other coral, by grinding with a steel rod. The coral I killed was encroaching on some real nice coral I wanted to keep. What are the worms in the photo? Are they bad to have in an aquarium? They do eat dead fish or shrimp very fast. I imagine they would be very hard to catch. I wonder if I could trap them in a bottle trap, with shrimp (food) as bait? Your comments would be appreciated.

Well, have sea hare (about 1 inch in diameter & 3 inches long) in tank (38 nano cube) which has done a good job in cleaning the green hair algae. Want him/her hanging around a while just in case any algae comes back, so the suggestion was to feed "him" with sheet seaweed. Quartered a sheet, and folded it up, and rubber banded it to a piece of coral, and put it on the bottom under and behind a rock which should be well out of the tank current, yet in less than a day, it is slowly coming apart (and the sea hare hasn't even had a bite, but the shrimp and some fish really like it) and is swirling in the tank, and I assume making a mess of the floss portion of my filtration system. Two questions: Any suggestion on how to stop the seaweed from coming apart and just making the water awful looking? Or, what else may sink to the bottom that the sea hare would eat? I don't want "him" from starting to death. Do you personally own a sea hare? In main tank? or sump? Thanks for help!

I have a RS Max 130 with four T5 55 want lamps. Is there such a thing as too much light? (In the tank I have clowns and royal grammas and just soft coral. - No plans on going to hard coral.) Live rocks and about a 1 1/2" sand bed. Temperature constant 79 degrees, sodium chloride = 1.026 and pH about 8.0 I'm running the lights and continue to have a problem with green algae on the glass. Not a little bit, but a serious annoyance. I have a lawn mower blenny and (I'm told) algae eating snails, but it is still a lot of work to keep it clean. Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you think a golden head sleeper goby (or a diamond goby) would get along with a lawn mower blenny, which is somewhat a bully to smaller long body fish. (I have a 38 gal nano with 1 1/2" deep sand bed.)

What is a good commercial food for soft corals? 38 gal cube with 5 fish, snails, shrimp, sea fans - and 8 or 9 frags of soft coral.

I have 38 gal. nano, keeping at 79 degrees. And thanks to some generous WAMAS members, I have started ½ dozen different soft coral frags starting. No anemones because have experience of them killing corals. Current stock: pair of oceclarius clowns, lawn mower blenny, firefish goby (had 2 but one disappeared), hermet crabs (maybe 10), snails, and 4 feather dusters. The lawn mower blenny chases the firefish sometimes. Most of the time the firefish goby is hiding. I would like to add just a few more fish. My thoughts are to buy: royal gramma, shrimpgoby-yellow watchman, 5 peppermint shrimp and 3 emerald crabs. Do you think there will be any fighting between the shrimpgoby and lawn mower blenny? If you see a serious incompatibility or something I should not do, might you have a suggestion for another fish – kinda need low $$$ and would like color non-hiding fish. (I know, wishful thinking.)

Savage in between Columbia and Laurel. A few weeks ago started setting up RedSea Max 130 and joined WAMAS. So I'm trying to learn salt water - not quite from scratch. Before my son moved out 2 1/2 years ago, he had a 110g and 130g (at separate times) salt water set ups (in our home) with every kind of gadget that could be put on the tanks. Since 1970 I've had tanks of many different fish. While in college, 2 of us had quite a few 80g & 90g set up, along with 25 or 35 20g longs to wholesale fish in northern NM. (After getting married, in our first apartment [on a 4th floor apartment] I had sixteen 24g tall and maybe as many 10g set up in one bedroom. You wouldn't believe when the wall shifted down about 3" from the ceiling!) Also have been through the brackish East African Rif Lake Chichis "hobby." My main love is my Honda GoldWing trike. (Being new to the forum, I need to learn how to post photos.) I retire TODAY, and starting next week, I hope to ride every day for the rest of my life, excluding a few snow falls.

What's the best skimmer to put in the back of a Red Sea MAX130. I really don't hardware outside the tank, behind, under, no place. Your input would be appreciated. Said best skimmer, but on restricted budget, so please take that into consideration.

Would the Jebao WP-25 be too large for a 38 gal cube (RedSea Max 130). I'm thinking would run at lower speed. The WP-25 and WP-10 cost the same. I'm just starting out. Any WP-10 or WP-25 for sale out there?

Is there any particular brand of underwater epoxy that should or should not be used in Reef tank. (To glue rock & plastics) Examples: J B Weld Water Weld PC Marine Epoxy putty Attwood Epoxy Stick ------------------------ Can these forums be searched. Please be specific, as did not find a way and I belong to 8 other forums with few issues. Thx
