I have had an outbreak of red algae. I am concerned that it may overtake the
tank. I have done frequent water changes...any suggests per remedy... I have
heavy flow, ASM skimmer, and refugium/sump.
Thanks.

This is my second post in a week.  :)  Earlier I posted on the fact
that I just setup my 75 gal tank with the intent of slowly growing it
into a reef.  A coworker of mine is very successful with two very nice
SW tanks and instructed me to use fine (very fine) crushed coral for

I suspect that our Catalaphyllia has eaten several of our Blue Chromis over
the past 6-8 weeks.  Has anyone seen this happen before??

I had an anemone - I bought it as a ritteri, but it might be another
species.  Anyway - it split last night, which I understand is
something that can be used as a reproductive method by anemones - my
questions is:

Has anyone out there tried one of these things?
It is much cheaper than a Turbelle but only if it doesn't require frequent
repairs.

This article was just released.  I hope you all find it beneficial for your own

I just put up some pics of my construction so far. Please have a look
and give me some feedback. Constructive critisism welcome. If you have
any ideas to improve on what I have done or what you would do
different, I would appreciate it.

I purchased a yellow sea cucumber yesterday. I hoped it would dig
itself into the deep sand, but it did not. It crawled on the
macroalgae instead. Is that normal for them? I was told in the LFS that
they come from Florida.  They have that crown of small,

crab, I had 2 percula or false percula (not sure witch but love them).
Yesterday when I came home the perculas where in the anemone with the
crab, the crab does not seem to mind but one of the percula is trying

It's been about a year since I set up my 75 gallon reef tank (some pics
at http://www.spazthecat.com/iblog/B93549880/index.html) and I was now
looking to optimize anything I could. So, I was looking for a little
advice as far as what I should do first.

Does anybody know where I can get one of these skimmers at a reasonable
price in Australia (melbourne) or alternatively where i can buy one from the
US without the pump

This may seem a stupid question but what the hell...
I've read that to keep anemones and / or certain corals, etc you need
something like 5 - 8 watts of lighting per gallon.
My display tank holds ±55 gallons and the sump ±20 gallons.  Take into the

The past few weeks I have been noticing these black spots on my Perculas.
They appear to change in shape, size, and position.
I am not aware of any diseases like this.
Anyone familiar with this situation?
