    red algae

    Try siphoning with an air hose. That will at least remove it from the sand some what.

    sand

    I had a similar look in my front left corner. I added a cuke that stirs the sand nicely just not in the same spot all the time. I added an additional power head and it no longer exists. HHope that helps.

    Laptop ?

    Matt, Thanks. I heard good things about Acer; guess you have 2 gig. I know Vista is a hog but was considering wiping it out and putting XP. My concern was the video card. Any comments on that? Mark

    Laptop ?

    I am considering purchasing this laptop. Will mainly use it for work. Only concern I have is the graphics card. I have read mixed reviews. I am sure for on-line and work it will be fine but may want to play a game or two. Anyone familiar with it? Thanks, Mark

    Endless Ocean (Wii)

    The biggest problem I found with Wii on-line was the setup. If someone tried access the net simultaneously the download would stop. Took three tries to get it right; did it while everyone was a sleep.

    what type of inverts can be in the refugium?

    John, I know what you're saying about the fish in the fuge. I have it because a close friend bought a pair of fish called saltwater mollies. A grouper ate 1 so I took the other as I had a fish only tank at the time. The molly was a female and gave birth. This is the only surviving baby the...

    Disappearing cheato

    Matt, Thanks for giving me an actual answer. I thought I was doing something wrong. Like I said I am anal about feeding; being sure to not over feed and have uneaten food laying around. I will step up feeding the corals a little more as I don't have growth. The fish I think get plenty already...

    Disappearing cheato

    Very Funny. I do feed them just very controlled to ensure food isn't blowing all over the tank. Guess I'll step it up and feed them a bit more than I usually do. I feed the corals twice a week guess I'll try every other day. Thanks

    Water Change Disasters - A New Twist!!!

    We have all done something similar. I like to use gravity to drain water from my tank. So one time I left both ends of the hose in the tank with the lid closed while I dumped the water. When I came back one end of the hose slipped out and the rug was very wet. I have a much better method now.

    Green! Super green! Biodiesel hits Lincroft, NJ

    In December there was a Discovery Channel special about alternative fuel sources. They claim that every car on the road today can be converted to use 100% ethanol for a cost of $100 to $300 max. Why the country isn't doing it? Probably because the gas company's are stopping it. As I am sure they...

    canister filters

    I used a Rena Filstar on my FW tanks and also on my reef tank until I ugraded. I bought it on-line for $99, biggest size XP3. It's self primimg and has three fairly large baskets for media. I bought mine at Pet Solutions. I now use it on my turtle tank; keeps the water crystal clear.

    Virus assistance

    Looks like your anti-virus software thinks you have a worm virus. Does your software check for this? How recent is the program? I would download the most recent upgrade and run it again. If it still finds it try cleaning it.
