    cyano in the sump - refugium

    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...

    What is this stuff growing on my rocks?

    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.

    cyano in the sump - refugium

    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...

    cyano in the sump - refugium

    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...

    Anyone keeps firefish in a reef tank with open top?

    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...

    Anyone keeps firefish in a reef tank with open top?

    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...

    Tank crash survivors

    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...

    Need Advice – Adding more Clowns

    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...

    Need Advice – Adding more Clowns

    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.

    Clownfish Log

    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...
