    Sps battle

    I have been watching some of my sps start to battle. Seems like both sides create a plaque to try and grow out and over the opponent. Have not seen any grafting which would be cool.

    Calcium reactor

    Still toying with the idea. Dosing 170 ml each of 2 part a day is only going to grow to more. Any thoughts from those that have one as to which would be best for a 158 gal system. Looking for least touchy and or problematic.

    If you grow macro algae what's your lighting

    I've seen so many sites saying LEDs grow macro really well. They sell some light with a$ range of 30+ and up. I have been growing macro from the start, tried both and love my compact cfl from lowes. I'm using the daylight color so 6500k. Works great and a 3 pack runs less than some led bulb. So...

    At the Beach

    Well the family and I are at Cape May for a week. Quite lovely here, my two girls have their own personal mule (me) pulling a stylish wagon with every possible need strapped to my back. Now that I think about it, I'm not a mule so much as a Sherpa. The beach has some amazing macro algae...

    Mp40s are loud

    So with my new build I have 2 mp40 pumps to use on it. Got them set up and they are loud! Now I know form my mp10s I need to adjust to find a sweet spot. Yes, I found the same applies to the 40s but when I rev up past 50% the vibrational hum is unacceptable. I see the wet side disassembles for...

    Overflow covers

    Does anyone know where I might be able to find an overflow cover for a corner overflow in a 120? I have seed the d shaped ones, but not a corner one. With the new build I want the macro to do the growth, not the nuisance algae in the lit up overflow that needs weekly harvesting to prevent a clog.
