    Nutrient Export basics

    What do all algae (and cyano too) need to survive? Nutrients. What are nutrients? Ammonia/ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and urea are the major ones.

    Ostreopsis Dino

    I upgraded to a larger tank and I’m currently going through the classic “ugly phase.” I transferred some live rock with zoas and other corals, added new dry rock, and recently installed an Apex system. Over the last few weeks I noticed GHA and scrubbed most of it off, but now I’ve confirmed I’m...

    The ph in my 3.4 gallon pico dipped down to 7.4 last night and was up to 8.1 half way through the day

    I know it changes some from night to day but this seems extreme, and the Kenya tree is always droopy when I get up in the morning. Could it be the macro algae?

    PLEASE HELP! Algae on Fungia (Plate coral)

    Hello, As you can see there's algae growing on the fungia coral. I tried brushing it off with soft bristle kids toothbrush very gently to no avail. It somewhat responds to feeding. Are there any ways to rescue this? Perhaps a coral dip of some sorts? Thank you.
