What is the best way to keep their tanks running? -.-?

I have salt water and I admit that I'm noob at this. I have a few questions. One of them even hold the sea slugs in my tank? Another reason is my hermit crabs attacked my scooter blenny, then went algae wacked up ... How to keep the balance right? Finally, the corals are OK for beginners?

Most sea slugs do not last long because they have a special diet (mushrooms and other strange things). The only exception would like to for some, they eat algae, but you have the correct type, and once it's gone, they will probably die. You really better to use snails and hermit crabs for algae control. Most of the sea slugs (nudibranchs properly called) to have chemicals in them that others in the best distateful (if not toxic) to anything that tries to eat - this is the reason for their bright color. Hermits are generally even as algae control, but most are omnivores and will eat "animals" prey if given the chance. There are many species that you see on sale, so you almost need to know the feeding habits of each type. Even so, he is hungry hermit, none are completely safe. I think that the blue-legged and scarlet hermits are the safest, and tend to be smaller than some, so it would be less likely that they do much more damage to fish. You did not mention what type of algae you have trouble with, but the key to control nutrients and low light levels. Algae to light for photosynthesis, so if you reduce the amount of light is given, it can not grow as well. Of course, you only that if you have other photosynthetic organisms in the tank (corals, sea anemones, clams). You can also look at how long light during the day and only reduce the number of hours back. Regarding nutrients, will monitor the level of nitrates in the tank? Nitrate acts as a fertilizer for plants and algae, so if you're making changes to maintain low water levels (preferably below 20) you are feeding algae. If you use tap water to mix your salt water can be nitrate and phosphate (another fertilizer) in your tap water - It may be beneficial to have a copy of the chemical analysis of water supply to make sure you are supporting your eyelashes, when you do exchange of water. If any of these are present, you have to switch to water, reverse osmosis (you can buy a unit of reverse osmosis for home use and make your own or buy RO water - Super WalMarts sell for about $ 0.33 per gallon when you buy a refillable containers - see that the self-serving Culligan water dispenser in the shops). You can also buy a phosphate removing pads, which you can cut to fit the filter. See more: What http://www.wetwebmedia.com/algaeconMar.htm you may be blue-green algae ( "red slime algae ", though it is bacteria, not algae) - you can see the photo for comparison and to obtain information about checking this link: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ bluegralgae.htm. Much of the control is the same as the green algae, but also does not like areas of high water flow, so a few powerheads aimed at places where the worst might help. They can also be used to compete with macroalgae for nutrient cycanobacteria in the tank. But be careful macroalgae and trim back regularly if you use it - otherwise it can turn into your tank. You should be able to keep corals, but it will depend a lot on your lighting. Nearly all are photosynthetic and standard fluorescent lamps are not smart enough to stay alive. They should be applied to a minimum compact fluorescent or T-5 system, or for deeper tanks, metal halide alone or in combination with compact fluorescent lamps. Some of the easier ones to start, the mushrooms, zooanthids (sea mat), clove polyps, and skin. Before you try this, you will first algae under control - if you have a problem high nutrients, corals will not do well. Also, you should do some reading about different types of coral to get understanding their needs lighting, water movement, location in the tank, and coral aggression, since they produce chemicals that prevent further corals from growing too close. Some need to be fed in addition to what foods are able to obtain their photosynthetic algae. You can get more information on corals of the Web sites you visit: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=16&cat=1990&articleid=2954 http://www.peteducation.com / category_summary.cfm? cls = 16 & cat = 1927 You can also find biological control agents for your lashes from this site: http://saltcorner.com/sections/guest/algaepage/algaepage.htm _ Must first determine, then use the number next to the lashes to find fish or invertebrates that had this kind (at the bottom of the page).
