Meowzer, I have been doing some research about the whole Phosphates and algea, Kinda confuses me about it. I had someone last night said if I used a razor to scrap the Coriline (hard green algea) off the glass I should siphone it out at the same time? What kind of tester do i need to test for this.

The only reason I even considered the idea is just that i have recieved about 13 inches of rain at my house in the last week, thinking that most of the common smog would have been pushed out of the air by now, but you do have a very good point, meow

Yeah kind of one of those "Hey hold my beer watch this moments"

But in the same i have read a lot of your posts and do respect your call on this one. There is way too much money on the line to risk it. But is acid rain all that common, Im in Dallas TX

Purify?? Boiling, I guess my thought process was," well it rains in the ocean..."

Well I decided to get the bright idea of collecting some rain water, seeing how it is raining buckets lately, and possibly using it to help with topping off my tank. Any comments, suggestions?

Bubble Tip Anemone

Honestly I am kinda new into the sump myself and dont use a sock. Is it necessary? I thought filtering small particals would not be as good.

I would say if you are really experienced, they can be really touchy!!!

BTW congrats on your GSP, Mine also took several hours to start opening. But finally 24 hours later I got a Partial response, I still have a few polyps on it not open. I got mine for $5, he had a piece about 7 inches in dia. and I was able to get him to break a 2 in piece off the side, I am a...

I was told the BTA was the best, however I have had mine in the tank for about a week now, and it still will not come out of the rocks let alone host a clown. But my clowns are young and tank raised, dont know if that makes a differance?

VERY PRETTY. Where could I find a purple gigantea and can I keep it with in a 55 gal with a bubble anemone?

How can I get my Nitrates below 40ppm, It has been at this level since I set the tank up in March. I just added a refugium with a 4 inch sand bed, how long will it take to start pulling numbers down?

That is what I am trying to see myself, is it necessary to even have one.
