Guys you missed something, this was the Ops post and to that I suggested he epoxy some oyster or clam shells to the rock to make platforms for this frags Quote: I did a little more rearranging but I am now at a loss as to how to get anything to stay on the rock.

The problem is that fish like dogs will eat and eat as long as food is presented. The end result is introducing ammonia into the tank while that is great for the nitrogen cycle it does little to feed our corals. Increasing the amount of food in the hopes of some of our corals that are not...

The algae growth is impressive, and those pics represent the amount of growth you get weekly. Also does the elimination of algae in your DT inhibit the keeping of omnivores and herbivores ?

I think this would be a good topic for a thread all on its own. That being said and not wanting to highjack let me finish my part by saying IMO for that much algae growing(pic of screen posted) weekly there would first of all have to be a system devoid of any other forms of nutrient export via...

FYI I for one have a sump and have neither a hang on back or in sump skimmer. I plumbed by skimmer from the pump inside my sump to the skimmer which sits outside the sump
