  1. I just found one my emerald crab dead. Not sure why? Does anyone know if the water condition or what other factor causing its death?

     

    My return flow to the tank pumps out very fine bubbles, making the water to look slightly hazy. Does anyone know why this occurs? Is it a air leak in the hose system?(scratch)

  2. hi reefboy,

     

    you're right. my tank is about 4 month old. my LPS is doing fine. I just bought some acros and will see if they survive. I'll have to increase current flow and lighting. Will check phosphorus. pH is OK. Thanks for your insight.

  3. I have MaxJet 900 and 600 pointing toward each other in the back of the tank, in the center back. Should I add 1200 or another 900 in the back, pointing to the front of the tank? Where can get a reasonable price MaxJet? Online usually is less expensive but have to wait.

  4. thanks for the input. Just clarifying: I add 2 Max Jet 1200 in addition to the current powerhead MaxJet 900 and 600. what direction of water flow should I aim for. I can only put powerheads in the back of the tank and not on the sides.

     

    Do the SPSs need to be high, medium in the tank. Thanks again guys.

  5. I bought few SPS frags, acropora, which are gone now. My yellow leather is shriveled and is almost gone too. My LPS, zoos are OK. I'm not sure why SPS died. I have 6 Actinic VHO 110W; 2 175W MH; 100G; 15W UV sterilizer; recently water changed 40% of tank; Actinic on 8 hours; MH on 5 hours; 2 powerheads with natural wave setting in the opposit direction. Water condition is good.

     

    I would like to get more SPS frags but not sure if they will survive with the current lighting. Should I upgrade my lighting to 250W or 400W MH or add seaswirl for better current. Any input or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  6. I have 2 green and red blastomussa corals, which have been doing well until 2 days ago. They have not opened fully and have been retracted. I tried to move them to different location but no improvement. Zooxanthelles are still present. I'm not if the inverts are bothering them or something else in the water. Water is good. I have 2 175W MH and 6 Actinic VHO 110W, 100G tank. Any suggestion what to do or expect to see?

     

    I also bought a blue hippo tang, 3 in, who has been hiding in a crevice and has not come out. Or at least I have not seen it. I think my yellow tang is chasing it. What do I do? Thanks
