Question -will we have a lunch bbq type thing or is it on your own?
yeah - jrwohler is the king of cheato!. My fug doesn't have any lr or LS as I like to siphon any detritus that appears beneath my cheato.
But the method that JR posted is excellent as it will offer pod growth and nutrient export. I don't really care about pods so I just wanted the export...
tagging - i get those also on my LR...not as clustered like your pic - a few here or there. A stiff brush and a siphon will remove them. I don't bother as they do not seem to be growing to plague proportions.
is there a reason why you have all the LR being exposed to a NO light and the cheato being stuck in the corner like that?
The other pic makes it look like your refug is filled to the brim with LR and a little bit of chaeto.
If it were me - unless you have a need to light your LR - i'd remove...
sorry i can't type as my right hand is bandaged up...but check this site:

Also the bc29 upgrade is to as 1200 maxi, that;s what i've seen ppl get.
i've had cyano in a hob refug. I tolerated it since it is exporting nutrients out. No different than the idea of using an algae turf scrubber - just a different species of algae. More flow thru the fug would cause it to eventually disappear as the nutrients won't have a change to accumulate in...
tagging along...i have a bc 29 - was planning on having only suncorals and some clownfish. So a regular light will be fine for me. I've seen OGII in south plainfield sell the sapphire skimmers in case you want to SEE it first b4 buying. I'd love to get one but right now my bc29 is just a temp...
I will have at least two maybe three percs available for raffle come saturday.
These are the exact same clowns that were on display at the Liberty Science Center (thanks mikem for the camera):

So if you want a...
Yes- my firefish indeed lives in it. He/She will head/jump to it immediately when I place my hand in the tank to do maintenance. On any given day - it will go into the pvc to take what seems like a "nap". Also every day like clockwork - right before lights out, it will head for the pvc home and...
yes - since dec2008 - had a firefish in an open top.
At first it hid under a piece of LR. I added a pearly jawfish and built the jawfish a pvc/barnacle home.
The jawfish kicked out the firefish. The firefish took the pvc/barnacle. It's lived there ever since. When frightened - it darts down...
In the middle of a war with a simple pathetic lifeform known as bryopsis. Honest - who would have thought a simple plant would make one want to throw the towel in?!!!? I swear this algae is in cahoots with magnesium sellers because I'm cornering the market on Tech M!!!!
I agree...i rationalized and said - well he is a grunt and maybe he thinks "strategy" is another way of saying - send more troops in. I said to my wife -even the ancient japanese during the Sengoku Era (think the int'l movie Ran or the more recent Last Samurai flick) knew that riding your...
lol thanks...i've been a mod too long - some people get really mad over really inconsequential things! we're a bulletin board on fish! ;D ;D ;D
btw - if your two clowns ever mate/breed - i'd be happy to help out. Black clowns are very fashionable/retain higher prices. Of course - your batch...
ah man - you guys are breaking my chops! I'm sorry if i came across as a know-it-all - I didn't mean that. As if I'm an expert!!! we have to count those spines to be sure.
Anyways - cool to hear they are going well. It's all part of the submissive dance I guess.
been a while since i updated - because i went thru some tough times. Internet explorer 8 is now somehow working and I can post longwinded posts...haha. (Sorry monroereef!) ;)
Lesson #1. After the fish has gone thru meta - do not populate the tank with baby brine shrimp. The clowns would not...
