It's on the way to your relatives house though isn't it? Bet they'd like to see you guys more often. ;)

I like your thinking Greg. Lacey Rd would be a great idea. Not to mention nice and close.

Talk about shrinkage!!!!!! :o :o

I am setting up a macro algae display tank and would love a frag of that. I hope to have the tank up in the next week or so.

They look just like the ones I dream of having some day. :D

Is that a coral or an algae? If it's a coral I have no clue. If it is an algae it looks to be a version of codium.

I found it and already have them cut and ready to go.

No problem, I can bring them to the swap for you.

How big of pieces do you need and how many? I have some I can cut you a few small pieces from.

5lb pull force isn't going to be enough. The smallest magnets I have found that work have 19 lbs of pull force. If you want to use them on your over flow box I would suggest something 33-35 lbs pull force. And yes you will need to encase the magnets in epoxy or else they will rust.

I have never used the prefilter box so can't comment on that. The reason it is only listed for those 3 pumps is because they are the ones that are recommended for that skimmer. Actually the Rio 1400( which they quit using) and MJ 1200 are for the Remora and the Mag 3 is the Remora Pro. The MJ...

The diatoms are eating the silicates, that is the export method. Just like folks using chaeto in a refugium to export nitrates. Silicates are all that the diatom algae feeds on, once they consume it they starve out. As long as you are not adding any silicates they won't come back as they have no...

Well for the first month or so you said your RO water was testing positive for silicates so in essence you were feeding them. It is very possible that you put enough of it in there to keep them fed this while time. Plus you have to also remember that as you are removing them either by siphoning...

They keep coming because they are being disturbed. They are feeding off of the silicates, once they are totally gone the diatoms will go away. He was adding silicates with his water thus he changed the filters. The reason they are not showing up on the test is because they are bound up in the...

Diatoms are a normal part of a newer tank and yes 9 months is still new. The best thing to do is leave them be and let them run their course. The more you mess with them the longer it will take for them to go away. Yes it is unsightly but they should go away in 2-3 weeks if you let them.

What is your magnesium level? You won't get a reading for nitrates or phosphates because the algae is using them up as fast as they are produced. What are you feeding the fish and corals? My suggestion would be to raise your mag to 1400-1450 and stop doing water changes. Let the algae use up...

You can only keep 2 anglers in the same tank if they are a pair. Keeping two any other way will result in one of them becoming a meal for the other.

Have you tried mixing some super glue into the epoxy?

As far as I know they don't make a cover for the overflow box. I have an Oceanic reef ready and it didn't come with a cap. You may be able to make something out of black acrylic though.

If you mean a chocolate chip starfish, they are not reef safe. Tanks looks great so far. keep up the good work.
