I had that same carpet last year for a short time, left my blue lights on a 10 hour cycle with my whites on 4 hours and cut back on feeding, and it was gone in a couple days. Since then I've changed the lighting back and cut down on feeding and haven't had a problem. Here's what mine looked like.

Good to know, thanks! If I plan on cutting any out, I will keep you in mind, but for the moment it's helping fill a gap in my corals.

I've been really busy over the last couple months and have barely had enough time to feed my fish, let alone do any major work on my tank (other then break the sump). Everything's happy and I even have some new life growing! This looks like some of the plastic plants I have in my FW tank, an...

Looks around at your local hardware stores for fountain pumps. The place I got mine has more power then that for under half the price. Not sure how they are about links to other sites here, so PM me if you want more info.

Thanks Bang! I'll have to pull up some carpet and get out the stud finder this week when I have a chance.

@ FishHugger- No clue on the spacing or the floor joists, and it's a pretty standard size 150g 72"x18"x24" if I remember right.

I think it was in the 60's if I remember right. I'll have to check the title tomorrow to be sure.

It looks like I should have some money coming in soon and am getting ready to set up a 150g that I acquired, but am wondering if my floor can hold all the weight? I plan on running a 55g sump (maybe slightly larger) under it, so I'm thinking it will be in excess of 4,000 lbs. I've got a guy...

Do you have an urchin at all? That's how my candy cane looked after the urchin munched on it.

Is there a LFS in your area? I know the guys in the stores around here have people they send out to the office's that have tanks in them, to take care of things and keep them nice.

I was just about to clean mine, so I snapped a pic. I've got my pump outside the sock, if that makes any difference.

That's no good for snowboarding! I'm half tempted to go aggressive with this tank, but that wouldn't be very reef friendly. It'll probably be a couple months before I can even think about starting to set it up.

Very cool and good luck!

I've got my pump sitting at the bottom of my sump and it works fine, however there's no sand or anything in the chamber it sits in. Is your in the tank itself, sitting on the sand? The directions with mine say to put the pump about 4" down from the top of the tank, if it's used as a HOB. I get...
