I've scrubbed them with a cotton swap, and the hydroids stay put. From what I've read, Coral RX, Revive, etc, won't affect hydroids. It sounds like Febendazole is the only thing that is effective for them? I question because a lot of folks mention that it didn't work form them. But know knows...

Any suggestions for treatments to kille them? There are so many the I’m not sure that I can manually remove them all.

Hi all, I have what I think are hydroids on my Gobstopper Zoas. So far, they only seem to be on this Zoa colony. I think they might be spreading? I feel like sometimes the head that has more hydroids will close earlier than the others, so maybe they're annoying the Zoa? Thanks, Brett

That makes way more sense. Thanks for all the help!!

Where's the sport in that?! Even with a DC pump? I haven't with the current fish, but I plan to with the remaining fish. Current fish: 2 Ocellaris clows 1 Firefish 1 Foxface 1 Royal Gramma 1 Midas Blenny Furutre fish: 5-7 Lyretail Anthias 1 White tail tang 1 Yellow tang 1 Cleaner wrasse...

Ok apparently that's not entirely correct, perhaps I should have re-read the spec before posting... From their sizing, it looks like I want a flow rate of appox 3x tank size for the 90,000 uW/cm^2 dosage. In my case that would be 170*3=510GPH. I believe that you need on the order of 100,000...

Hi all, I started a thread earlier this week about ozone, and the topic of UV was also brought up. I wanted to get some thoughts on UV dosage, so I started this thread. I have a total water volume of about 170 gallons. My primary goal is to make my water crystal clear. I also like the idea of...

Thanks for all of the great replies! I appreciate the time you all spent writing this stuff up. Lots to digest, then I'm sure I'll have more questions. I'd like to add UV too, but I think I'll start another thread to talk about sizing and the like, so it's easy to find if someone else needs that...

Hi, I've been reading about Ozone, and it sounds interesting. I like the potential for making the water super clear and getting rid of any smells. Just curious if anyone here is running it, and if alititude has had any effect on it. Thanks! Brett

It’s in the front. Not quite the middle, but the middle part. It has small lines radiating from it too.

Haven't put water in it yet. I think I'd rather replace the whole tank than risk it. Maybe the front panel is replaceable? Brett

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve never used that service before but it looks interesting. I’ve got someone coming out in a couple weeks, but if he doesn’t work out, then I’ll give UpWork a try. So far he sounds pretty good. He’s got a tank himself (a 75 gallon freshwater), and has helped his...

Great--thanks! I'll give him a call this week.

Would you mind sharing their contact info with me so I can reach out to them? Thanks!

Hi all, We're in Parker, and looking to consult with someone before we pull the trigger on a reef tank. The problem is the place we'd like to put it would put the tank parallel to the joists. We'd like someone to help us figure out how much weight we could safely put there. Thanks! Brett
