Received the replacement light ballast so back to 100%. Not sure what I am doing incorrectly, but most of the purple mushrooms have shriveled up, the zoa hasn't opened in a while and seems to be slowly disappearing, and the Daisy's seemed to have disappeared. Any help / suggestions would be...

I would also like access. I was Rick on NCNRS. Been a member of BAR and NCNRS for about the same time. Being a novice with "reefing", I need all the help I can get.

Latest update: Soon after I added the carbon the red algae cleared up. Not sure if it was a coincidence, because when I tested my water yesterday before the water change I still have nitrates at 5+ ppm. 4 days ago I noticed one of my lights not coming on. After some troubleshooting discovered...

With the site switch over the pictures I had posted do not show up. Am I going to need to repost them? http://www.bareefers.org/home/node/2520

I am only a novice -------- but, the sea hare took care of the algae I had and it never returned. You can always see if someone else could use it or return it to LFS when done.

You may want to try a sea hare before you take such drastic steps. It worked for me until I was able to get my tank under control.

No siphoning off the sand. Did the first water change after it disappeared yesterday. It must be magic!

With the pump I added for circulation, I hope it is not a low flow issue. Maybe I need to direct the flow better, but there seems to be a good current down on the sand. I am having a nitrate issue, 5+ ppm. Last night I added a bag of carbon. Hopefully this ill help with the nitrates.

A little red algae on the sand. Popped up now that the sea slug is gone. Thinking this might still be part of the cycling process.

First mods; 1. Removed the divider on the overflow between chambers #1 and #2: This greatly increased the water flow from chamber to chamber. 2. Added a Koralia #1 pump for additional circulation: Hope this isn't too much. I debated on this or the Nano version.

Tank parameters: Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 2.5 ppm, Phosphate 0, pH 8.5, KH 7, Calcium 480, Salinity 1.024 The LFS recommended I add: ESV B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System & Eco System Reef Solution. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It has already stated colonizing the rocks :o They are cool though! Love to watch them.

The sea hare is gone. I knew when we got it we would have to find it a new home. My daughter loves the tank and helps maintain it. She initially got interested when I would drag her a long to SFBAAPS meets.

Started this tank with my daughter 20 December 2008. It is a standard 14 gallon BioCube. CUC: 5 Nerite Snails, 5 Nassarius Snails, 7 Astrea Turbo Snails, 6 Blue Leg Hermits, 2 Camel Shrimp & Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. Only fish so far is a goby. Was having a terrible hair algae problem so added a Sea...

This is my first attempt at salt water. Have a 64 gallon planted fresh water and an 80 gal red eared slider turtle tank. For years my wife has suggested we try salt water. December 20th we purchased a 14 gal Bio Cube to setup a mini reef in our daughter’s room. Been reading as much as I can and...
