    hair algae

    Just after that point we started getting cyano like crazy in our 65. As soon as we changed our PC bulbs (that only get 6-9mo life before the color shift starts) the cyano went away. Like clockwork.

    humidity problems

    Could you take a picture of the other end of that pipe? I'd like to see the details of that wooden shelf up there and what the other side looks like! Thanks for the update.

    NOAA Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Protections for Threatened Elkhorn Corals

    What do we do with the Elk/Stag in our tanks if we are no longer able to sell or trade it? It grows like weeds and will need pruning from time to time? Of course I agree that we shouldn't be taking any more into the hobby... Maybe we should be able to trade it?

    Is this a good price?

    This is true. The chip could end up being no big deal at all.

    I'd probably run an extension cord.

    February 2008 Meeting - Saturday 23rd Cherry Hill

    That frag would get lost in the 450, Billy! Not to worry though, I'll surely find something here to contribute to rebuilding the reef! What color are the 'spawns in your tank now?

    Heath Ledger topic

    There were some posts within the topic that took a turn for being less than family friendly. As a family friendly forum, we maintain the right to remove any threads that do not uphold that standard. Thanks for your interest and cooperation.

    Thanks, Feng. Anything that really stands out? What are your favorite pieces/fish?

    February 2008 Meeting - Saturday 23rd Cherry Hill

    Re: February Meeting Francis, the Hefflo has been fragged and has your name on it.

    I don't know, Tom. I manually focus my macro work.

    BobCReef's 120 gal Re-birth

    The vinegar is a GREAT idea. Heavy on the vinegar (no such thing as overdosing that stuff). Hopefully they'll all be good as new after a soak. Good luck getting back up and running, Bob! You're welcome to frags when you're ready. Unfortunately I don't have any of your yellow milli left. We did...

    Is this a good price?

    215g of water on my floor is not a chance I'd personally be willing to take. Especially for a non-RR tank.

    Ka Reactor vs Ca Reactor

    FWIW, the deal we've gotten on the Kalk reactos is for the Precision Marine ones. We aren't able to do a GB on the Reeftek ones.

    Billyr98's Real Upgrade! 450g Starphire Custom Reef Tank!

    My endcaps haven't melted ... yet! LOL! If you like that crisp white then the 250s with VHO supplementation is definitely going to be more your speed. The 250s definitely produce a more crisp white than the 400s, which are an overbearing yellow (6500, IME), requiring the 12Ks for my taste.

    Project BioCube (Lots Of Pics)

    LOL. Progress looks good and the presentation very entertaining. I see you enjoying playing in the graphic arts. If you've got some skills there we might be able to put them to some good use!

    Ka Reactor vs Ca Reactor

    I'm not sure what kind of pump would be required. I doubt an aqualifter would be suffient anymore and I'd be concerned about hooking in to anything really strong (as you don't want the POTENTIAL for an overdose).

    Ka Reactor vs Ca Reactor

    Why would you put just the kalkl reactor in the basement? If your tank/sump is upstairs, there's no reason not to have your Kalk reactor there too (unless you're really strapped for space under the tank, in which case I'd say send the sump down there and be done with it. You know you want to! :)

    Billyr98's Real Upgrade! 450g Starphire Custom Reef Tank!

    Bwahahahahaha! You're a funny one, Bill. I'm thinking that between Rock Band & Wii we're going to be there for the long haul. I really like the bluer color of the Reeflux 12K and while you do sacrifice a bit of PAR from the XM 10Ks, I personally like the look better. Particularly with 400w...

    some pic's w/growth

    Tom, get great at taking pictures with the lens you have and you'll have skills that will transfer when you DO get a macro lens. In the mean time some closeup filters (<20$) or a extension tube (kenkos are cheap, you can also shop ebay), and you'll get the closer pictures your looking for...

    some pic's w/growth

    Great growth pics, Tom. Both of your corals and your photography. You skills have improved quite a bit from the first photos!
