  1. How Do Bio-Pellets Work?

    In my previous article I briefly went through my personal experience with bio-pellets over the last couple months. In that article I listed off the benefits to use said bio-pellets in our reef systems, and if I knew of any negative side effects at this point I would have listed those as well. Rather than talk about what bio-pellets can do for your tank, I would like to attempt to explain (from my layman's perspective, forgive me I'm not a scientist) how these pellets work and how they are able to ...

  2. Ever have a fish die for no reason?

    For the last two days I've been sick and my normal standing in front of the tank for hours has been reduced. I just fed the tank, cleaned the glass and went back to the couch.

  5. New to Reef Addicts

    Hello everyone I am new to this site. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Gina and I have a 183 gal cube tank. I recently had a battle with ich getting into my tank. Still haven't figured out how but in any event it killed most of my fish. When I first started seeing signs I pulled all the fish from the DT and put them into a 75 gal QT tank. During the ich TX most of them died. Not sure what went wrong. After about 3 weeks in the QT just one by one the started to go. Eating ...
