Who Gives A Fish Forums

Thanks, all. Gonna test phosphates tonight and grab some Trochus snails tomorrow. Lights are dialed back to 60% intensity. Feedings are every day with LRS Reef Frenzy, so I'll cut to every other day. Appreciate the help!

My 75 gallon reef tank is getting overrun with hair algae. Parameters are stable, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate, 8.2 pH. Running two AI Prime HD lights for 8 hours daily. Weekly 10% water changes with Red Sea Coral Pro salt. Any tips to cut it back without nuking my Zoanthids and Acros?

My LFS guy swore it was doable, had a pair of kribs and labs in the same tank, no issues whatsoever. He did say the labs loved munching on his plants, lol. I asked about potential problems and he said unlikely, maybe one rogue lab but that's a 5% chance. He seemed pretty confident so I figured it ...

I've done my research on Malawis, know their water needs and all that. I've got a 450 litre Juwel tank with 4 large clown loaches, 10 full-grown tiger barbs, and a kribensis.

Also, thanks kaido9, so you think its a female then? I was thinking that too with the rounded belly and fins, but wasn't sure with the colour on the dorsal fin.

I'm no expert, but I've had a few kribs before, and I think I can help you out.

First off, good on you for getting the one krib, even if the LFS wasn't sure about the sex. Now, you want to get another one and pair them up, but you're not sure if it's a female or male. I'd say go for it, but make ...

I'm having a bit of trouble with uploading a picture, does anyone know how to do it, I went to attachments, chose the file, picked the picture I wanted but it's not showing up.

I've got just the one krib at the moment, my LFS only had a single one in stock and they weren't sure what sex it was, but I decided to take a chance and get it anyway. I've been eyeing another krib at the LFS that I think could make a good pair, but the problem is I've no idea if it's male or ...
