    White slime?

    I've been battling with this since I started a new 20g. I used Dr.Tim's ammonia to start the cycle and the tank cycled properly, went through the diatom phase and all. I had a bacteria problem with the tank being cloudy that REFUSED to go away with time. Every SINGLE post I found that "solved"...

    What is the Meaning of a Mature Tank?

    The title says is all, what is the meaning of a mature tank. I have read hundreds of threads about fellow reefers loosing frags and the saying the tank isn't seasoned enough, or the tank isn't mature enough comes up a lot, myself included.
