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.
I think in alot of the shrooms the bubbling or bouncing, is a defense against the intense lighting. You never really saw this before leds. I think it's like how we get tan, they swell up to try to protect the body. And like us it can become a "cancer" where it becomes a part of its cellular...

I know chaeto can have. And so can calerpa, that's y I said besides those two.. I'm asking more about the leafy decorative types like youd see in a display, the red, blues and other bright leafy types. Genuinely curious.
Boom. Only 2 of the 4 I've ever given out. One went to my dad and one to my friend john.
This is one of my favorite shrooms. On the more mature shrooms it gets a nice yellow outer ring.
Is he flicking himself against the sand and rocks? He could have gill flukes. And the scratches on his body are from him rubbing the rocks/sand. If you can get him out and do a freshwater dip for 2 min. If it has fill flukes they should release on the fresh water.
I guess you cant dip macro algae. Lol
But do the non clumping (like chaeto and calerpa) ever have pests on/in them? I've never heard of anyone really ever complaining about that..
If you wanted to know about decorative "sticks" I'd be your guy. Haha. But I dont know much about the macros. Hopefully someone here will have an answer for you. I know there is someone else looking to get some too. Where are you located in Jersey?
I think I may have 2 or 3 synergy reef overflow units in my basement. I'll have to take a look if your interested. They were gonna go on a tank my dad was building but decided to wait.
I actually made my own overflow box.. when I upgraded my sump. Wanted a little more flow and a safety drain, which I didnt have prior. (And had a few close calls too lol)
Run the external, if you have the room behind the tank.. It has such a smaller footprint inside the tank. And definitly go with 3 hole bean animal. Even the eshopps unit is really nice.
I pretty much always run my po4 between .08 and .12 as my target. So .1 shouldn't be too concerning. 1.0 would be concerning lol. But glad things are getting better.
