crushed coral
Posted: November 1st, 2011, 10:14pm CDT by Maxxis
hey guys
I went to a pet shop in order to see different types of substrate to buy for my tank and the guy suggested to get crushed coral. He showed to me crushed coral in bag which was about 3mm
Is this good for a reef tank? Does crushed coral will affect the condition of the water?
Also would like to know if there is any formula to calculate how many kgs will be needed
Thanks -
Top up switch for Kalkreactor
Posted: November 1st, 2011, 9:44pm CDT by Eight
Hi guys, what top up switch can I use when I have a kalkreactor connected to my top up? i dont want to use the normal float switch as this sometimes gets stuck open and will surely cause a tank crash through a kalkreactor.
I there a switch available that is failsafe nad where can i get one? -
brown algea on sand
Posted: November 1st, 2011, 9:39pm CDT by duanead
So guys I was wondering my tanked cycled like 4 months ago and there was green algea everywhere and then it went away all of it and now there is brown algea all over the sand and I got 2 sandsifitng seastars and they are working great but then it comes back,
So my question is I've got a 1.8 meter light fitting with 3 150w metal halides and 4 t5 tubes 24w each so what I want to know is it maybe because the kelvin is only 10 000 that causes the algea -

Urgent help needed newbie first post -white spots
Posted: November 1st, 2011, 8:31pm CDT by Caffeinedecoder
Hi everybody... i am a newbie at MA and have finally started a tank.Yeehaaa!
It has been running now for 2 months just about and I have 2 clowns, tomatoe clown,blue regal tang and today my first corals!! :yeahdude:
i have 2 cleaner shrimps but I notice today, since I added dual pro 2 T5's(wow what a difference) in addition to my T8's, that my Tang has a lot of white spots.
I was told the cleaner shrimps would clean it off but they are not.
What am I to do? Is it dangers to the fish? Should I start stressing?? :blush: -
Nano plans please
Posted: November 1st, 2011, 7:04pm CDT by gavster
As if putting one new tank together isn't hard enough, I'm putting together TWO! I want to build a 600mm cube and would like to learn from your mistakes. I was thinking slimlinme overflow with returns coming back in through the back pane. I want this to be an extremely neat cube with no pipes etc but also don't want tons of headaches. Has anyone got any plans for me of a system that has worked well for them? Anyone see any problems with the slimline fad? -

Aiptasia *dum dum dummmmm*
Posted: November 1st, 2011, 2:51pm CDT by tekkengal
Last night I saw the horror of horrors growing in my tank. Currently I can see only one (roughly 1cm in length) and would like to get rid of it as quickly as possible before it grows to big. I was planning on taking the rock out and then chiselling around the aiptasia (not chiselling the anenome itself) but my concerns are if I remove the rock will it start releasing spores and will chiselling a chunk of the rock out solve this problem?
Note to self: only buy dead rock next time. -
