I've been battling a nasty bloom of Caulerpa serrulata for the past few weeks.  The stuff just won't die.  At this point I think my only choice is to breakdown the tank and start over.  Any ideas?

Today I announce my third failure trying to grow sea grasses in my reef tanks.  I have been trying for over a  year now to grow manatee & shoal grass in a 55 gallon tank.  Everything looks right, I've added supplemental fertilizer to the substrate, given the plants good lighting, provided a nice deep substrate but still it's a non-starter.  Any ideas?

I've always been able to maintain a nice thick carpet of javamoss on the bottom of my 100 gallon mbuna tank.  It may not be "natural to lake Malawi" but it looked great and provided an excellent refuge for fry.

 Now, I've not been able to get any to grow for the past 9 months and my fry survival rate is in the toilet.  Nothing about the tank has changed in that time period except for the bulbs and the inevitable rise in the size of the fish.

Hi everyone,  Any idea what a good set of guidelines would be for keeping pure bloodlines in a mixed species tank.  I know I can't mix swords with swords, but can swords and platies be kept together, guppies and gambusia?  What about the different gooedid clades?

I've got some major spawning behavior in a school of Roberti tetra's (Hysibricon Robertii) right now. Occaisonally, a single fry will survive the predation of the community tank to adulthood, but given the random availability of the fish, I'd really like to increase the survival rate.

 Everytime I've tried removing the adults to a seperate tank so that I might collect the eggs, Spawning behavior has immediately ceased.  Any Ideas?
