  1. Bullied chromis poor feeding response: suggestions?

    I have a group of 3 chromis virdis in my 135g reef. One of my chromis (the largest one of group) gets picked on by a smaller chromis, and as such has a very poor feeding response. I can normally get him/her to eat mysis after a while, but it takes a great deal of effort so that he grabs it instead of all the other fish. I am pretty sure if I wasn't target feeding him he would have died a long time ago. Suggestions?
  2. Should I Use Pellet Food?

    I always thought pellet food was one of the best foods to feed your fish in that it was packed with a wide variety of nutrients, and that the fish has to eat all of it, not just pick and choose their favorites from a frozen food slurry. However, I was reading an article on fish nutrition and noticed that the author did not recommend using pellets?

  4. Nutrient Issues: need help getting my tank back on track

    Think green. You name it, my tank has got it. Bryopsis, Dictyota, and Valonia all growing without a care in the world. What can I do so I can finally start enjoying the tank instead of constantly scrubbing algae off the rocks?

    What I have done so far:
    -installed RO/DI filter, giving me 0 TDS water for top-off and water changes. I have been slacking on my water changes though
    -installed GFO reactor. It helped a little bit, but I still get consistent crops of algae
    -limited ...
