After seeing some of the silver veins on that last photo, I think you all have solved another mystery for me. I thank you all again for your help and wisdom. Now the question comes of removing it or not. If I am recalling correctly it seems to be a nuisance, should I remove it? If so what is...

I looked up the bubble algae but only found one photo. It may be bubble but I am not sure. I will have to look at it more closely when I get home. It seemed to be more black than green. It also had thin silver lines similar to what I sketched. If it is bubble algae can I suck it up with a...

It is very dark but shiny almost a metallic black color. I am not sure what bubble algae looks like. I guess I will do a search for that.

I was staring at my tank again last night and I noticed something new once again. It is about the size of a “bb” and has a shiny smooth texture. It looks a little like an acorn. It has not moved since I first spotted it a few days ago. It looks more like an egg pouch than it does a creature...

Thanks again everyone! I feel much better.

Thanks, I was begining to get concerned because I had not seen anything extend from the tube to filter.

Yes they do look like that. They are not thick yet, but at the rate tthey are spreading they will be soon. What are they, and more importantly are they harmfull, helpfull or indifferent?

I have recently noticed a number of small tube like organisms showing up in a number of spots in my tank. They are on some of my live rock and are starting to show up on a number of my turbo snails, some snails have up to three of these things on one shell. They look like the tube from a small...

Thanks again! I will call my wife and have her turn the lights off. The only thing in the tank that was looking good was the cabbage leather. Will the lack of light stress out the fish?

Thanks guys!!! How long should I have the lights on? Are we talking 3-4 hrs or more like 6-8hrs? Then at what rate should I increase the lighting? Thanks for all the help!

Thank you aarone they are awsome lights. They are so much brighter that I can barely look at them when I open my hood. It lights up the whole room. I have 5 or 6 turbo's, 4 hermits (2 scarlet, 2 Mexi), and a scunk cleaner shrimp. Does anyone think that I burned the GSP with the new lights...

I seem to be having a bit of a problem. I thought that adding new lighting would be very benificial to my tank. I am starting to wonder if it was such a good idea. One week ago I replaced my (4) 48 in. NO with a (4) 54w T-5 retro fit lighting setup over my 55g. Since then I have had many...

It has been 5 days and there are still bubbles forming on everything. Is this normal??

?

Well I did it I finally talked my wife into letting me get T-5 lighting for my tank. I set them up last night. They came on perfectly as planned this morning. I then went wakeboarding for most of the morning and when I got back the tank was full of small bubbles. They were on all my live...

If it does not work out will the superglue damage the glass?

I just got back from my LFS and they had green star polyps growing on the back glass of one of their reef tanks. My green stars are taking over my LR. How would I go about getting some off of the rock and on to the back glass? Has anyone heard of this before? Will they attach themselves to...

I recently added 3 red legged hermits to my tank. I had 2 Mexican hermits in the tank already. I bought the red legs because the Mexican hermits would only come out of the rock work at night. I thought that the red legs would be more social and be out durring the day, however they also hide...

Broncofish I notice you said that you have a plastic guy that you use. I am looking to build a sump. I don't know where to go to buy the acrylic and weld on. I have seen different types of acrylic sheets at Home Depot but I don't know if any of them will work. I live somewhat close to you...

Thanks stangfreak00. Just to clarify, what you are saying is that I will not need to put resistors in line if I run the same voltage LEDs as my power source.
