Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Some sea urchins will eat it. Some conchs will do a good job on it too. Of course best way is to starve it out of existence. Good combination of skimmer and refugium will do it. Funny little story I got frag with a little algae (not hair just algae) on it at the meeting well this morning the one...
There is no way to argue with Bill's colors. I guess I need to get a PAR meter at some point. My lights though don't seem to run that hot. But they are suspended and not enclosed so maybe that makes a difference.
Big difference between FOWLR and Reef Tank
Then you have softies vs LPS vs SPS
Or are you talking fuge.
I mean in my fuge I have a 7 dollar clip on spot light with an incandescent bulb....and I am growing cheato like a pro.
I don't think you want to put any SPS in there though. ;)
So what do...
Oooooo sounds close. How did you "tune" the overflows that is my one real issue that I have not solved yet. Pictures when you have time would be great. ;)
I think I saw those tangs at AO.
Thanks so much Andy and Jeanne for having us in(thanks for having a kidproof house too).
It was a very comfortable meeting thanks for everything.

ricwilli has some corals for sale....nice big softy rock too. I know he is coming because he is bringing me something.
If you buy the big rock he is throwing in a purple cap frag...pretty nice I got one from him at the frag swap.
I think it is best to get it out yes. Get a test kit too at some point for Phos and SI, I know I have the Phos one if you are close to Little Silver you can use it for a few tests.
Be careful you may release some ammonia if you take rocks out of deeper sand. I didn't go that route when I did...
Just checking you are using RO water right?
I cannot stand PC/FC lighting I know it is cheaper but you really have to keep up with bulb replacement and it gives off a ton of heat compared to T5 or VHO florescent.
Anyway good luck with the water change you are doing the right thing...make sure...
Here is a don't.
Don't get a bicolor pseudocromis...in a 24G AP mine was a terrrorrrrrrr.
I would stay away from all pseudocromises. Green clown goby or maybe a shrimp goby w/pistol shrimp?
Love the pics...bet you are saving the out of water shot for POM ;D.
The clip is also a great idea I am going to make me one of those new fangled DIY clips too.
Hello,
I didn't see if anyone asked any of these really important questions.
Temp? Salinity? Do you use RO/DI water? If not you may just be adding silicate to your mess.
I should state that I had your problem bad and Mynd and couple others straightened it out.
Here is the easy way to do it...
I would go with reverse light cycle also. To do so you probably want to go with cheato as you don't want the calurpa going sexual on you. And I also agree with Phyl if you don't have good flow in your fuge add a power head. My fuge is inline from drain to my pump so I get great turnover, but it...
