I have heard that peroxide and SPS don't mix well. On the other hand there are people that use it with no issues with SPS. Use caution when dosing.

Matt, Been banging my head against wall for a few weeks now as to why this was happening so tracked all my changes the past few months and this was the biggest. I pulled what I could out and looks much better. There was a bunch of crap on this long HA so am sure that didn't help.

I pulled few rocks out today and didn't realize the back glass has Hair algae. I scraped what I could but am baffled why this happened. My only thought here I have switched to the IO Gel food seaweed, cyclopeze and brine shrimp. Are these foods high in phosphates? Either way I will go back to...

Rich, I wet the socks in the sink and rinse them out. I also turn them inside out to get any crap out and rinse again. Then toss them all in the washer.

Paul, Good point. My new washer doesn't have an agitator. Most new ones don't.

When I rented same issue with noise. Next door neighbor extremely loud and we and kids could not sleep. After asking nicely numerous times my Italian came way big time. I banged on the wall cursing them out and even in the complex. My wife too and one day the guy's wife heard me say something...

Haha Paul, 4 inch diameter and 12 inches long.

I have the 12 inch felt socks with plastic rings and never had a problem with them breaking. I even throw them in the dryer with a no heat setting with no issues.

Send one my way to eat the damn hair algae...LOL Pretty cool looking.

If you were closer I would take them.

One thing I did discover last night. Is that my fuge light bulb was dead. I replaced it with a spare I found around the house a month ago. Not sure when it died as it comes on while I am sleeping. I was bored and started looking around which is how I found it. Anyway, now I have the fuge light...

If this keeps up the economy will take a turn even worse than before.

I agree, have the same light. I went with 2 blue+,purple+ and 14k. The corals pop and cooler looking with just the blues on.

I am wondering if I have to many rocks in my tank. My theory is that they might be tightly packed causing detritus to build up therefore having high Nitrates. That being said I was going to pull the two worst HA rocks out and cook them. Now am wonder if I should remove a few more. Any thoughts...

Thanks Mike and Nikki for opening your home to all of us. It was great seeing everyone and so many new faces.

First question I have is who is Paul? LOL Shipwrecked = Tony

I am running a bit late but will be there.

Jim, Thanks for the info. I will keep this in mind if I ever decide to switch to LEDs.

On CL someone is selling these two tanks connected by two small tunnels. http://cnj.craigslist.org/for/2866288123.html

I have one question about LEDs. Mind you I am not getting new lights just curious. I have seen two basic designs; one is where the lights are all in a row and one in which the are arranged in a circle with 4 circles per fixture. Is there any difference between them? I am not referring to brand.
