coralline grows best in low light situations. not moving now premi...check the dates on those threads.

i agree...use a uv sterilizer for about a week, then you can shut it off.

it's the stronger lighting in the reef that is hindering the coralline growth, not the depletion of calcium.

sorry..meant "gather" ;)

where did you gatehr that info from? i was under the impression reeflux lamps weren't even in the running for highest PAR lamp.

interesting. these must be new. up until recently, there was only maxi 400,900, and 1200.

a cpr bakpak is nothing like an octopus skimmer. you are mis-informed. bad advice as well.

if you don't want to drill your tank and you don't want to move it away from the wall enough to get a HOB(hang on the back) overflow box on it, then forget the sump. there is no such thing as a maxijet 1800. are you referring to a mag18, or a maxijet1200? the latter will never be able to return...

i drilled my rock and used 1/2" clear acrylic rods from tap plastics- http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=147&PHPSESSID=20091031031017458988886

i wouldn't worry about algae if your water quality is good. if you don't have algae problems now, you shouldn't have any algae take off in your tank. i'd just remove the visible algae. i would not let any hitch hiker deter me from a good deal. anything can be dealt with. i am willing to bet if...

sell it and purchase an octopus HOB skimmer. 100 x better IME.

i trade it in for credit at a few local stores, and when they have too much to accept more, i give it away too. i was just making a joke about the rediculous price.

wow..almost 60 dollars for some macroalgae? i'll beat that by half and still make a 100% profit! ;D

borneman or calfo or one of those guys measured the nutrient export per different algaes and claimed that chaeto was far superior in that situation. i don't care to find the article, but it's out there. i never said they don't remove any nutrients, it's just less...like mangroves. meanwhile, my...

well, i purchased this camera on a whim. it's water proof to 30 feet, and i was having trouble getting decent pics from the waters surface, especially shooting the lps which is amost always on the sand bed (25" away from the camera), so i figured a submersible camera might be just the trick...

yep..you are going to need a ball valve on that pump to choke it back.

many macros are nice looking. i'm not knocking them...i'm just stating the downsides. btw- halimeda and shaving brush both use calcium if i'm not mistaken. IMO, anything that competes with the corals has got to go!

the reason chaeto is used in the refugium and not other macros is that it does the best job without releasing toxins during reproductive events. those red macros aren't nearly as effective. i would not put any macros in the display that utilize anchoring "roots". you'll be hard pressed to...

na..but i bet you i could sell you some coral ;D

actually, i think it's in vegas.... {EDIT} ;D Please remember this is a family friendly site. Explicit links are not permitted.
