take the rock out and use a butane torch to burn the little rascals. haha. i used this method on aptasia, and rock anemones. works everytime. u could also try aptasia x made by red sea...it works amazingly well
there is a fairly cheap 28g nanocube hqi nor for 300 bucks at a website i cant post here. It used to be 500 or 600 and i wanted one but it was too pricey for me.lol. Pm me for the website link.
well on all of the other forums, i know personally 9 fellow reefers that all have marineland heaters except one, and they all have had good success too. idk, guess its just personal preference.
why do u not like them. i have had no problems with them ever. especially in my 3g pico. it has kept my pico at a constant 78-79 degrees for the past 2 years
The light may not be sufficient for sps...infact i would discourage it. A marineland stealth 25 or 50 watt heater will do. they are preset to keep the water at a constant 78 degrees. how many watts is ur light?
without lr the tank will crash within a month. i tried exactly what your about to do and it doesn't work out. It would work if you kept a refugium with lr ruble in it....but definitely don't try a frag tank without lr because its not even natural. idk. i just doesn't sound like a good...
i have 2 scooters and a lawnmower blenny in my 29g biocube now for almost 2 years. I have the same problem as you with the hair algae and the lawnmower keeps it at bay but he never eats all of it so he always has food so i don't have to add food cause they are my only fish. lol
yeah i agree with meowzer. there are alot of places to get them where i live but they are usually in stock here on swf.com. Be sure to come back and post pictures and what not when your all set up. =)
well...the most likely cause of your algae growth is that your lighting schedule is to long and not stable. try to cut your light down to no more than 6 hrs a day to snuff out the algae. coco-worm: http://www.oceansgarden.com/images/3...mdemartini.jpg
You can get cerith snails, and nassarius...
If you could afford a $50 tube worm id definitely go for a coco-worm. but make sure your tank is stable first. gotta love cheap flake foods but i gotta agree with meowzer...go frozen or freeze dried mysis, etc. and meowzer if i remember right the toms deco kit comes with a 50/50 bulb. for sure...
