FYI Had a bad run of luck with the in and out of hospital over past 6 weeks and tank becam OVERRUN with turf algae. Corals were being chocked out and the stuff was EVERYWHERE. Was debating on breaking down as I was dreading any drawn out battle and don't have the will or energy at this point...

Dropping $20 to you now. Me and my girlfriend, unless my wife finds out - then me and my wife. Edit- done :)

Heya D! I'll grab some nightsky, rastas, and duncans, plus a few interesting sticks of your call. If you're heading to the Jackson meet I can pick up there, otherwise I can take a ride down your way on Saturday (and continue to try to convince myself I need a house down there). Drop me a text...

Very nice.

Media should be in high flow area but doesn't have to be in the highest flow area. Anywhere in the sump should be fine. Your cups should only have floss in them. I run a 110 and have 3 cups filled with floss. I change the floss every 3 days or so, if I do a lot of scraping or rock blowing, I may...

I drop my media bag in the sump itself. If you put it in the cup its going to restrict flow. Keep floss only in the cup, change it every 3 days or so and you'll be golden. Edit: Do you have a sponge at the bottom of it as well? THat, combined with a media bag will kill any flow.

I’ll give you a call after work tonight and walk you through my setup

I may be heading down there to buy a house. Can I have MPs and frags as a house-warming?

I have something like 6-7 in my tank. Never see them in the day. I do find discarded carapaces as they molt and grow, and they look EXACTLY like dead crabs. At night, if I shine a light around the tank, they're all out, eating, and fighting for rock space. If you're feeding them, they may well...

Have you named them yet? cjk... They'll make it up through the returns as long as you don't have a sponge in the way (Hi Matt!). My pod population in the sump is considerable and I lose some to the protein skimmer and an in-line reactor on the return. Still get plenty seeding the main though...

Call me Kalesi...

The buck a gallon is on now.

Seems 12-18" is average. I'm running a hybrid fixture of 4 T5s and 3 Hydra 26HDs over a 4' wide 20" deep. With LEDs alone I'll run it 12", with the T5s I kicked it up to 16".

Was in earlier. Picked up a tube anem, a juvenile snowflake clown, a Randolf's goby, 3 emerald crabs, a beauty of a 3" raspberry acro, and a tuxedo urchin. With the sale it just cleared $100. Arr, twas a good fish shoppin day.

I used to love Aquarium Depot with the large pod orders, but having problems lately. Agree on the Algae Barn 5280. Though Andrew has been carrying them as well lately, just have to ask. I have a section of my sump loaded with bioballs, I drop half the packet in there to breed up and the other...

They love magic. You should be able to lure it out with a card trick.

Ha!

Is it attempting to climb out of the tank?

Sorry for any delays in answering PMs, sending out remaining shirts, and for lack of forum presence. Resurgence of diverticulitis over past week that eventually landed me in hospital on IV antibiotics. All is groovie, should be out by weekend and will catch up with PMs and such then.

Jeremy. I have some for you, but I’m not around till after the weekend. Can easily meet you in Jackson or Howell next week.
