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...
if you mount powerbrites close enough you would be hitting par values high enough to sustain softies and most lps but as for sps you would need to have some 3watter crees.
