Hey Tom, I know ur busy. Here is a thought I had,my favorite time with my tank is the last half hour or so when the fish position themselves to go to sleep for the nite. I think it’s so cool as the light go down. So what I would luv is to see your tank with the lights going down and the reef getting ready for bed. “Sundown at the Tom reefer studio” that would be a cool vid. At least I would luv to see that!😊 johnny5

Hi;your tanks are amazing. I need some advice; about setting up a New marine tank. My old tank crashed; because an aquarium shop said it would be fine to use sea water / as my Corals would Pop. What a big mistake/ 3 green worms and hundreds of coral eating worms. I went away for a city break ;and came home to my tank crashing. The question is can l reuse the rock with some treatment that will kill any nasty things/ or should I start a fresh.? Pauline

Hey Joe, sounds like you have a case of diatoms. Diatoms are not really an algae, and they don’t just arise with new tanks. Diatoms are competing with bacteria for surface area. Blackouts don’t help. It’s possible, although your tank is a year old, you may have made some changes that may have stimulated diatoms to start over again. Let them run their course. You can siphon them off if you want, but don’t disturb the sand. They will starve themselves off over time. It may take a few weeks or more. Your tank may be really clean as far as nutrients. Skip a water change or two if that’s the case👍🏻
