Re: Diatoms? 2 more pics Very hairy and very thick

Re: Diatoms? Thanks for the quick replies guys. Cyano was my first thought as I had it in my past setup and defeated it. It looked totally different from this, Unless I battled something different back then. Isn't cyano more of a film...almost see through and reddish in color, occasionally with...

I have a 120g, 200g and 100g sump on the same system through a manifold. Same sand, liverock, t5 lighting on each no powerheads in the 120(fowlr)even the same clean up crew and I have the crystal clean sand with no algae in the 120 while the "reef" sits there some kind of brown algae in it...

I am not sure exactly what I have going on in my tank I am suspicious to it being Diatoms. I had a few patches on a couple pieces of live rock. then it moved to the sandbed and occasionally to the glass. It is very stringy and plush like a carpet, dark brown in color. 2 Hours later 2 hrs...

WOW glad to hear that it was caught on time wit no loss due to fire. It is definitely something to think about because our tanks are pulling much more current than a computer system! Taz

Mike are we sticking to a specific topic like FTS or can it be any saltwater related, fish, coral, etc

I stopped by a fellow reefer's house a couple of weeks ago and he had one by the tank. My kids grabbed it and loved looking at everything inside. What an awesome Idea! I am going to get one for myself. Taz

Thanks for this post. I have never thought about calculating my wattage, but I know I'm up there. I have been wanting to run a dedicated circuit or two since I moved into my house 1.5 years ago, but haven't yet. I'm still trying to figure out how the wiring was run in this house. It jumps all...

Nice Tank Rod!ESPECIALLY since it has only been running since March and you were so busy with MACNA. Can't wait to see this one mature. Would you happen to have any shots of the tank in Philly? Taz

This is awesome that they are willing to do this. Must be a good product. Can't wait to see how this plays out. Taz

I wonder if the water should be tested by a more specialized water testing company. Aquarium water testing is specialized for water parameters already in our tanks and test for certain parameters that are important, but would this be too little to test for? In other words your may/may not let...

I spoke with each owner numerous times and the stories were constantly changing, not only between the two, but each individual story was never the same. I think there is way more to the closing of ILC than any of us know as Mbodell touched upon. Such a shame. Had sooo much potential and was...

I love turning off my main pump to feed before the food goes into the overflow, but I hate the mess that it makes when I start it back up. I wish there was a way to clean the pipes coming from the basement :-\ I also like the reflection you get off of the top water surface . Like a mirror Taz

Phyl Can you explain a little deeper? Silicates burn out? Do they need to be exported or should I just let it be? Can diatoms work it's way up rockwork or smother corals? or would that be Cyano? Been battling something for about 3 or 4 months now. It is either diatoms, cyano, or both. I'm...

2 Adults, possibly 4 children although I doubt it ;D Taz

I had the pleasure of seeing Brandon's tank in person today. It looks great, that pic doesn't do it justice. You did a great job on it Good luck with it. Taz PS Thanks for Nubsy!

Phyl I'd love to get a piece of Idaho if you still have some. What is the difference between it and the reg purple? I just lost my purple cap, Tubs Purple Polyp Birdsnest, and a green digi this week. They RTN'd on me overnight. I had a pc of the green digi that had broken off the mini colony 2...

Dave, I've had one for 7 years and has split about 4 times. It is usually very stringy like that, but occasionally it gets bulby ends. I haven't been able to figure out any rhyme or reason for this behavior. The guy I bought it from told me it was a different species? I wonder if that has...

Does anybody attending the meeting have a Phosphate photometer that could test my water and show me how it works? I am curious as to what my phos reading is and thinking about investing in one in the future. Taz

You're running all 5 colors at once or staggered? What kind of look do you get? Can you share a pic?
