Welcome to Reef Central and to our RSM Club! You have a very nice tank, and the pictures were great! Tell us a little bit about your RSM - how long have you had it set up? Have you added any additional equipment?
tyleratl A couple of excerpts from Wikipedia:
"Some species of cyanobacteria produce neurotoxins, hepatotoxins, cytotoxins, and endotoxins, making them dangerous to animals and humans. Several cases of human poisoning have been documented but a lack of knowledge prevents an accurate assessment of the risks."
"Along with algae, some hydrogen producing cyanobacteria are being considered as an alternative energy source, notably at Oregon State University, in research supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Princeton University, Colorado School of Mines, Ohio University as well as at Uppsala University, Sweden."
And this one:
"Some cyanobacteria are sold as food, notably Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina). It has been suggested that they could be a much more substantial part of human food supplies, as a kind of superfood."
I think we should all pass on taste testing the stuff that may grow in our tanks! :eek1:

PraziPro....
PraziPro....
Update for All regarding PraziPro -
Here is the specific product info:
PraziPro
It specifically says that it will NEGATIVELY affect:
There are no known contraindications to the use of Liquid PraziProâ"žÂ¢ except for use in marine (saltwater) systems where flatworms of the "Polycladida" order are being cultured.
Are feather dusters and CoCo worms in that order???? I have an email into them asking...
Welcome ilcop from Israel.... where our RSM's are born!

ilcop - looks like a lot of bioload. I counted 9 fish including a tang (which shouldn't be kept in a tank less than 6 feet long because it is an open water fast swimmer and frequently develops ick from stress when kept in too small of a tank).
I'm guessing you need to do fairly large water changes to control ammonia and nitrates or have some high end upgrades for maintaining water quality?

Re: PraziPro....
Different order. Polycladid are flatworms, flukes and tapeworms.
I would be cautious using a medication that kills Polycladid if you have tube worms. Yes, they are a different order but they are both a type of worm.
Checking with the manufacturer was a good idea.

Brent - Thanks.... Just hoping I get an answer from a BIOLOGIST or Pharma expert who knows what they are talking about!

Donna - I can only find seven fish too. What's the fish to the right of the tang? Is that a different type of tang?
Tylt33 - what is so dangerous, dangerous about a 6 line? Wreak havoc how? I'm not disputing it, just wondering what's bad about them? I've never had one.
Tank day here (as usual on a Saturday). I replaced the metal halide bulb in the RSM fixture - I got a 14,000 k this time instead of a 20,000 k. I had ordered a Phoenix 14k, but they were out of them and the guy at Aquarium Guys called & asked if he could substitute a Blueline (few bucks extra) 14 k (no extra cost to me) so I maybe got a better bulb in the deal. I was going to switch back to a 20k when he called, and he said the corals would look better under 14k, and I think he was correct - they do look more colorful. I also used the Aqua Medic scraper first time, and GDESQUIRE was correct - much easier to get the coralline off! But, I need an extension to get into a tight spot in the back left corner and I need the same type thing (sturdy razor blade type) in a smaller width - it won't fit in the space on the back wall to the right of the RSM gate, and I can't use it sideways or I'll be knocking corals off - I have to be able to attack it from the top and the Aqua Medic is just too wide (about 5-6" blade). I did finally get it all off the right side glass, and did get a lot off the back - it looks soooooo much better with it off!!! I'll post before/after pics tonight or tomorrow when the water clears up - I scraped so much off the water is a bit cloudy and is pink! I highly recommend this scraper - it's so much better than my Kent scraper. That sharp razor blade really beats the dull stainless blade on the Kent scrapers.
Anyone know of a sturdy aquarium razor scraper with a blade about 2-3 inches wide?

I have read that the Six Line Wrasse can be aggressive towards other tank mates. I have to say, that in my experience, I have not ever had any problem in keeping this particular wrasse. In my previous tank, I had one, and this was my second type of fish added to my RSM. The first 2 fish added were my true Perc clownfish. I also have a Prawn Goby & 2 brown Clown Gobies. There has never been any show of aggression from the Six Line Wrasse, not to the Corals, invertebrates, or fish ... and I really love his active swimming, in & out of the Live Rock.

Hi Kim & Welcome Aboard!!:wavehand: I have the Tunze 9002 Skimmer, too, and I cannot close the hood. If I move the Tunze down to where I could close the lid, the skimmer is too far below the water line it shows on the body. I have mine attached with the magnet, inside the electrical compartment. I took out the tray that held all the cords as it will not slide in with the magnet at the back of the compartment.

Hi all.
After a lot of reading, I decided to get a RSM.
So far I got the Tank, CaribSea Oceand direct Live Sand, 12kg (26lbs) of Rock, water, a Koralia Nano (soon to be changed for a Koralia 2) and some Biozyme.
Last night I place the sand, the rock, and the water (mix with Coral pro Salt).
Put it all together and here are the first pictures.
I will try to get some aditives (like Two Little Fishies Sea Elements and CaribSea Purple Up Coralline Algae Accelerator) to kick start the cycle.
This is my first tank, and so far the only experience I have is my short visits to some Local Fish stores and whatever info I can get online
.
What else do I need to start the cycle??
Best regards
Here is the first pic.
