Once about two days ago my powder blue tang showed up to have a slight case of ich. If you remember it had it before and when I got the cleaner shrimp it went away. Well, yesterday morning when I went to check on everything he was covered with ich and leaning against the glass. He died a few hours later. ;(

Today when I checked on my tank my "strongest clown" is swimming low and has ich pretty good. The weaker of the two clowns is missing!!! ;(

Please help!! ...

For the past couple of months, my tank has really suffered from a bothersome cyano bloom and I've been trying to wait it out until it receeds, but not only has it stayed strong, I'm seeing some other issues in one of my colonies that concerns me. It is darn close to a dinoflagellate issue, with dead areas that have turned brown and nuisance algae has sprouted from it.

With nitrates low and phosphates low, it's hard to figure out the cause. I'm going to conjecture that this is CO2 ...

I have a 12 gal Nano Cube tank that I want to use for a Q tank. Just wonder if I should just set it up as is. I think I could plumb it into my system and give it the total water volume and parameters of system. Though I believe if I needed to dose something this would make that a bad idea. Just looking for general thoughts on this. Any input is appreciated.

I seen MH light at Lowes the other day. Can I use these bulbs? Are they the same as the ones y'all use? And, do they sell the T5 bulbs?

I don't know what kind of coral these two are...any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!
