I’m looking for advice on possible diagnoses and treatment for a
possibly sick clown and gramma in my reef tank.  Trouble is, the
symptoms are rather non-specific; I’m afraid I “shocked” them doing a
water change and so wonder if I can/should do anything other than let

I have recent outbreaks of red slime and GHA while my levels are all good,
ammonia = 0, Nitrites = 0, Nitrates <10.  I would like to treat my 37G with
EM tablets to take care of the red slime and get a fish to eat the GHA.  My
tank is FOWLR, lots of mushrooms, 3 clowns, 2 turbo ...

I have a new tank with I dunno how much live rock.. going to add more.
I test the salinity every day and its great, right in the range that
the tester thingy said it should be, 1.024. Can I use damselfish and
live rock to start the cycle? No 50/50 lamps or protein skimmer right

Marc, I read in one of your posts that you used some PC bulbs you picked up

looks sort of yellow. Do you use the regular or soft glow or does that even
matter?

Have installed 2 x 150wt - 20k MH over my 6x2x2 reef tank this afternoon...
Am a little disappointed at this stage as I thought that it would really
light the tank up (saw the same setup in the shop - had a Big Wow factor!) -
Am also running 4 rows of actinics... (Without these, the ...

Would it be of benifit to use coppersafe to help cure my fish with Ich if
I'm approaching it with the hyposalinity method?

I would like to know where everyone runs their Specific Gravity at?  I am
using a refractometer that is temperature compensated so am I correct to
believe this is an accurate reading of the true SG when the water sample is
tested?

I have a wet/dry sump that has the bio-balls removed ... my problem is
that the falling water is making too much noise. I didn't really
realize it until we had guests over for the holidays ...
My dilemma is as follows:

I currently have a 65g (36x18x24") reef with 1 - 175W, 10k MH in addition to
other FO. I am upgrading to a 120g (48x24x24). Should I only add another
175W MH or should I upgrade the whole thing to 2 - 250W. Will I have
problems with burning the coral if I increase the wattage sine ...
