It's swimming a bit slower than usual and gasping. The larger one is as active as ever. I feed mysis and flake every morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just looked at the tank. Temperature got down to 70°. I do keep it around 74°-72° but I'm not sure how it fluctuated. Could this be the cause? No other fish appear fat or are behaving unusually. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My smaller (male?) clownfish is very fat looking which it has never been before. My female is too, but to a much lesser degree. I've been feeding mysis daily for seahorses and a little flake food to the clowns. The clowns have been hosting their corner much more frequently. The male hasn't left it for a while. Are they being overfed? Not enough variety? Parasites? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry for the late reminder it's been a full week. Everyone has until the 27th to get their photo updates in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's gorgeous!! I've always wanted this exact tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone think NOPOX shouldn't be used? I was thinking of doing a large water change/siphon, 2ml NOPOX dosing, and a week of lights out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have two wavemaker powerheads that are overrated for my tank but I also have two seahorses so they aren't turned up high. Not that I think it would make a huge difference. The algae grows anywhere there is light regardless of flow- even in direct flow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I read somewhere that old t5 lights could cause an outbreak of this. I have old LEDs that are like 3 years old. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome! I don't live in Catonsville but I frequent it for school. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it blows off the rocks in a film when you use a turkey baster, it's cyano algae. If it is hard and will not come off the rocks it's coralline algae which is beneficial. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A source of ammonia that's relative to the amount of rock? Maybe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll definitely try it if my local LFS offers or I swing by the other one anytime soon. But I've run GFO before and I'm currently running chemipure elite. Both did nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The one i go to isn't only saltwater and the next one is 45 min away. How much does it cost to get this done? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They would just use an API test kit like I do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you so much for your input! Maybe I'll try pristine too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have tried chemipure, GFO, NOPOX, hydrogen peroxide dosing but a chalice started to die so I stopped, and then as I said before turning the lights out. Just bought some mermaids fan so maybe that'll help. I've had dragons breath the entire time but I gave a lot away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some of it is in direct flow but also somehow is easily removed when using a turkey baster.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any reliable brands that you'd recommend? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any idea on how to combat it? I have had red cyano but all of it went away with NOPOX dosing, Siphon, and water changes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been plagued by this algae since I started 7 months ago. It's a film that is easily blown off the rocks. Even when Nitrate is zero it is still there. I had dosed NOPOX for a month and it's still there. As far as i can tell with my test kit, phosphate does not register but it's a nutrafin kit. I turned my lights off for 4 days and it diminished but then came right back. I have regularly siphoned the stuff off the rocks and when I'm done I have a ball of goo. Anyone know what this is and what I should do?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Algae bloom and phone pic so not the best picture... But here's my polyp! Don't see a second one yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! Does Caribbean tropical have a website? Googling it takes me to a bunch of resorts. Which I mean isn't bad but not what I'm looking for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking for a large variety of stuff that I'd like to knock out in one go. -photosynthetic gorgonians -mermaid fans -maybe pederson shrimp -starry blenny -mangroves -different colored hermit crabs I've looked at kp aquatics and liveaquaria but I was wondering if there was any I don't know about or if anyone has bad experiences with these sites.
