    Purit bag directly in QT???

    I’m fighting a little bit of ammonia in my 15 gallon QT. Very basic setup with HOB filter. Would it hurt to hang a bag of purit directly in the tank? Water changes are moving it in the right direction, but I’m worried it’s not fast enough. I would also like it as a safety net

    Clownfish aggression?

    I have a 75g that currently has one clown, one flameback angel, and one chromis. I have lost a few fish over the last year or so, for a variety of reasons, and would like to add some now. I am wondering if adding a couple of small clownfish would create problems with the existing clown. He is...

    Purit media

    I recently ordered some Purit in hopes of reducing silicates in my reef tank. Every other parameter is good, and I continue to have diatoms/brown algae. Silicates are about the only other thing I know that could cause the diatoms/algae. I also ordered a Silicate test kit, but it has yet to...

    Goby has been MIA for over a month

    Happy Friday. I have not seen my goby in over a month. I thought he may have died, and began testing for ammonia and nitrite regularly. Nothing showing on those tests, and nitrates have remained at 2 throughout. Any thoughts?

    Need some help with algae

    I have continued to battle algae, mostly in the form of diatoms on the sand (I think). Recently, I have been getting some green hair algae in a few places. I have used Refresh and Waste Away with short term improvement, but I just can't seem to keep it away. I have a 75g tank with a 20g sump...

    I think I removed too much cheato

    I was so proud of myself. Cheato had grown to the point it filled the entire section of the refugium. I decided to "harvest" some of it, but now I have just a few strands scattered around. Did I take out too much? I've ordered a ball from Reef Cleaners, so I guess I will try again. BTW, my...

    I just broke my monti cap! Need advice

    I bought a really nice monti cap from FJW on Friday. Jacob told me to be careful when cutting the post. Well. I managed to break it into 3 pieces. I glued the plug down with what is left and glued the other 2 on the rock. Any chance it will live? I’m sick about it.

    FJW Aquariums

    Mods, I apologize up front if I put this in the wrong place. I was in Houston for business yesterday, and decided to look at FJW Aquariums for the first time. I live in Lufkin, so I don't have access to a legitimate LFS. I was completely blown away at the shop. I've had a reef tank for...

    I really want a starfish. Any advice?

    I would really like to get a starfish, fromia or linkia, for my 75g. It has been at my house since July of last year, but has been established for several years. I probably have too much live rock for this tank, but it sounds like that is a good thing for the starfish. I do have a large...
