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.
So given we are doing more frequent water changes I finally took out the rodi unit and set it up. I needed a faucet adapter which I got today and we were off. Then things went quickly down hill. I setup everything and was running a few gallons through to clear it out. It was then I noticed...
At a 34 gallon tank you literally have the pick of the litter. You can look at just about every LED unit and make up your own mind. I know that is not the best answer, but you really can pick anything. I would look at the Aqua Illuminations, radions, mazarra P or about a dozen other units...

Yeah when I feed my scoly and acans I just use the turkey baster to shoo them away until the corals are closed up around the food. I know they get some, but so be it.
You will easily be able to see them with eggs as there whole back "legs" area is covered in green eggs. They usually release...
Yeah the drive and killing the whole weekend kept me out. Also, with just switching firms I have had a severe lack of free time/sleep/fun. I could use a little more relaxed weekend. Also, I can't shoehorn any more corals into my 45g at this point.
We htought it was just as important to document some of our failures as well as our sucesses as we think both are important learning tools for everyone. We are hoping to have everything back up to full strength in a couple of weeks.
If it is brown and slimy it could be the dread brown jelly.

Now that you are getting into LPS and SPS you might also want to start testing your alk, as they can have big effects on your corals.
