Hello R2R, I have a lightly used AquaUV Classic 15W with 2" to 1" unions. This UV is guaranteed to work and was tested on a Reefer 250v3 with custom return pipe and Apex COR15, getting 220gph at the 35% range. This is an ideal UV for anyone that wants to control or manage pests while also being...

I posted a thread not too long ago about this but it’s gotten a lot worse since then. I’ve cut down on feeding, and I’m scraping and picking out as much as i can every day but it just keeps growing!! Any suggestions pls lmk! P.S. I will be upgrading to a 65g soon so the larger body of water...

At the beginning of this month I moved back to my parent’s house after a breakup. Before the move I had pretty much no algae in my tank but about a week afterwards I started getting brown hair algae all over my rocks and now it’s getting out of hand. Nitrates and phosphates are both at 0 and I...

located in silver spring, md want to get your nutrients under control naturally and use a proven brand at a huge bargain? here's your chance this is the larger of the two which I only got because the smaller one makes cultivating the algae/getting it out pretty tough. this one has a nice...

Good day reefers. I have this brown (under blue light) greenish (under white) algae that is growing in my tank, particularly under my rockscape and on my power heads. I dont think it is Algae, but thats why I am here asking. My params are stable (although my PO4 dropped from 0.3 to unreadable...

Hello everyone! Just wanted to post this and get some thoughts. I’ll begin with what’s going on, about 2 days ago random huge algae bloom. Water is a murky green tint. Really thin algae grows on the glass overnight and during the day. No algae on rock work. Maybe a little bit of diatoms on the...

I just returned from a trip and discovered a lot of long algae in my reef tank. Could you help me identify these and advise on how to get rid of them? They are damaging my corals and clam. Thank you!

Selling 2 bottles of Dino-x Dino treatment, 250ml size. Purchased to treat a dinoflaglette outbreak. Didn’t use bottles were never opened. Will ship. (Extra)

My tank is getting overrun with what I believe to be dinoflagellates. I know small/new tank syndrome is probably part of it, but is there any way to get rid of it? I heard that raising nitrates and phosphates could help, but that’s a scary idea to me as I have some sensitive animals in the tank...

TLDR: Does bubble algae go away on its own over time? Since the beginning of my reef I was plagued with, in different stages, hydroid jellyfish, pineapple sponges, flatworms, and cyanobacteria. All of which managed to completely go away over time. Even the cyanobacteria completely disappeared...

I have been experiencing a massive phytoplankton bloom over the past few weeks after doing a big clean of my rocks This has gotten so bad to the point of reducing my tanks visibility to < 3" and is starting to take a toll on my mainly photosynthetic corals I have tried big water changes but...

This looks like green hair algae, but would like confirmation before I start treating the wrong thing. Also, based on the images and info below, what you would recommend I do to fix this? I have a 13.5 gallon tank (Fluval Evo) that's been running for about 3 months. I started with dry rock...

Hey reef team, I've got a 25 gallon innovative marine AIO tank. I've been dealing with a bit of hair algae growing on my macro algae, as well as a ton of bubble algae growing on the rocks and frag plugs. I just tested my parameters and currently Alk is 7.5dkh, Ca is 750, Phosphates are 0.0 and...

I fought the good fight with GHA and won. I also discovered I was bottomed out with Nitrate and Phosphate. I'm dosing Phosphate and Nitrate now so I can hold .05ppm Phosphate and 3ppm Nitrate. It was amazing to see my coral perk right up. Anyway that's another thread for another day. Now I have...

I started stocking my tank with some beginner corals. I have some GHA but nothing my CUC, fuge, and tang cant take care of. Everything has gone somewhat smoothly other than my mistakes(water on floor in various rooms smh). I recently got a frag of GSP which was doing well for fist couple weeks...

Shipping available at cost - shipping won't be too bad but INSURANCE WILL BE REQUIRED. Send me your zip and I will send you a shipping estimate. I have a CW-50 from Clear Water Scrubbers for sale. This is Version 1 from CW and would be great for a smaller tank or frag system. These are...

I have been battling GHA off and on now for a good year. It is fluffy green or brown and thick growing in every crevis. My snails, urchins, hermits and crabs don't touch it. The aiptasia battle is a little younger. Both are at a tipping point. When the GHA started to appear I added a GFO reactor...

Hello fellow reefers, my tank has been up and running for about a year & a half and I have been battling Algae and 0.0 readings for Nitrate & Phosphate. I do weekly water changes of 10g, I have a 55g breeder. In my tank I have 2 clownfish, 2 blue chromas, six-line wrasse, coral beauty, pink...

Pax Bellum and 24. Its seen less than a year of use on a tank with a light bioload. Only issues with it are as aesthetic. There are some notable scratches on the top of the heat sink and some small scuffs here and there on the body. Otherwise perfectly functioning and well cleaned. I have the...

New, never used. I've confirmed that all parts are present. Also included is the recommended Rio 2100 pump and two 27.5" support rails in black (one has a chip at the corner, should not affect function, visible in pic). https://www.turbosaquatics.com/features/ Support rails info...

So I'm dealing with dinos. What are these and how to I rid them? Also there's got to be a pod of some sort and some thin things. Help to id these please.

Hi All, I currently have a 6 month old tank that is going through an algae outbreak. I know this is to be expected in a newer tank, but need advice on what I should be doing to mitigate. I know 0 nitrates and 0 phosphates is not good, but I don't know if feeding the tank more will make the algae...

My tank is being overrun by some brown crud and I am uncertain if it is dinos or cyano of some type. I saw quite a few people posting microscope pictures so I obtaned one and tried capturing a few pictures with it. However while I see lots of cool stuff and many little critters moving around I...

My tank is starting to get over run by algae, I know there’s a lot of chemicals and additives to rid algae growth but what is a very quick for sure way to rid algae from corals Skelton, between polyps??? I’m dealing with very annoying hair algae no matter what I do I’m thinking turning off...
