How do you frag a mushroom that's attached to the rock and will not come off...ie. green mushroom. If you rip it off, will it die?

sounds like a plan. i believe i may be overfeeding, so I've cut down on that too.

How do I work on getting my phosphates to zero and how can I test that?

I'm thinking about getting a black sailfin blenny or an algae sailfin blenny...any chance of putting two together in a 55gal?

I had some brown algae that went to hair algae on my overflow. I decided to leave my A/C on all day so that I can turn on my new lights. 2x250W MH, 2x54W T5 15K and in a quick two day period now I have green hair algae on the glass and on the overflow... Should I scrape this off immediately...

Thanks. My unit isn't leaking freon. It was inherited when I bought the place. Is your house unit just a regular a/c or is it central air?

Do people put freon/recharge air conditioners? I remember seeing it done once, and would like to do so for my bedroom a/c. Everyone I come across seems to only do central air or commercial locations. I'm wondering if I should just buy another air conditioner

Makes sense. Thanks.

I know that purple algae is good and that green hair algae is bad. But what about the other forms of algae...? ie. Brown algae growing on my overflow box. What algae should I remove/worry about and what do I leave alone?

Now that I have my lights, I'm curious to see how much evaporation I lose each day, but I'd say if it was about a gallon or two per day, are 10% weekly water changes still needed?

Just bought one...great fish.

What are ATI bulbs?

Thanks for the advance notice. Clear Plexiglass...here I come.

My glass sump doesn't sit under my tank in the stand and my tank doesn't have a hood. About half my sump's glass and the wall behind it constantly builds up salt. The salt on the glass is noticeable and the salt on the wall only if you slide your fingers along the wall. Am I damaging my wall by...

Thanks for the add'l. tip.

Umm...yeah. I'll stick to the gas pump.

Thanks for the info. I'm going with the eggcrate for now and the acrylic w/ mesh as a long term solution. What did you use to cut your eggcrate?

It's a good HO. Are you saying go with a voltmeter or what test meter do you suggest? And what level is acceptable and what's not given that I'm sure each device is going to create some sort of field.

Jack 'treadingwater' you're the reason I started this post b/c I own a Hydor Koralia also. ;) It was at your house buying the live rock where I first heard about stray voltage. I don't know if I have the problem, so if anyone has any cuts and wants to 'heal' their cut in my tank, please feel...

Do you have an eel? I hear those can lift it. What about your wrasse...not afraid of them jumping through the holes? I hear that has happened too. DO you feel your tank lost any light when you put the eggcrate as only direct light straight down will enter the tank.
