    magnesium is low

    Tested my magnesium last night and it was at 1000. I know that it need to be between 1250 and 1350. How much can I safely raise the magnesium level in the tank per day to get it were it needs to be? Thank You.

    Return Nozzle Placment

    I have a Oceanic 90 Gal with two return nozzles. Should I point them both in the same direction, or in opposite directions? I am trying to maximize water flow. Thank you.

    Marine Depot and Current USA

    I know at one time or another most of us have had trouble when ordering over the internet or out of a catalog. That being said, I recently had an issue with an order from Marine Depot that I feel is worth sharing. Three weeks ago I ordered a Current USA Sundial T5HO 48” light from Marine...

    opaque lens

    I brought a young Fox Face Rabbit fish from a LFS store over a week ago. After I had it for a couple of days I noticed that the eyes looked opaque when the mid day lights were on. When I shine a flash light on the fish the eyes look normal. The fish is eating and swimming good. I read on a...

    Yellow Tang

    I know some fish will change color when frightened or to blend in to their environment. The head on my yellow tang turns almost black at times and is sometimes almost white at other. Is this typical behavior?

    T5's vs PC

    Is T5 lighting really better than power compacts (PC)? I know that the T5 bulbs last longer, but it takes more T5 bulbs to produce the same output. Any advice is welcomed. I have a 90gal with SPS corals, live rock and a few fish and a GBT anemone.

    Green Bubble tip Anemone

    I have read several articles on the site about anemones splitting after a water change. Has anyone had one split into three before? I had four bubble tips this weekend, three green and one yellow. The one that split was the smallest one in my tank and also the newest. I did a 10% water...

    Food for clean up crew

    My tank has been up for more than six months and has cycled several times. Thanks to my clean up crew and the refugium, algae in the main tank is almost gone. I don’t want my clean up crew to starve or start eating on my SPS corals. Does anyone have a recommendation on what I could put in the...

    Power outage

    I lost power this morning for several hours. My main pump (Mag 12) is on a APC UPS 1500 battery backup. After the power came on I noticed that the pump was making a loud humming noise. Could this be from running the pump on the UPS? Can running the pump on the UPS damage the it?
