I dont think chaeto has any specific light requirements. Just light. As far as I know a simple incandescent bulb should work fine since algae-type plants thrive in lights more on the red end of the spectrum. I could be wrong, though. Somebody please correct/verify/elaborate for me.

I have the same polyps and they are doing the same thing... No idea why. Where did you get them from?

Also, what are you using to measure your salinity? If youre using one of them swing-arm deals, there could have been an air bubble on the arm causing it to become lighter. But sebae0 is most likely right. Is there evaporation in the tank? Have you topped off between the testings? If so, did you...

They are LED lights that people run at night and sometimes 24/7. LEDs have very minimal power requirements so you wont notice your electric bill change any if you ran em 24/7. Anyhow... they are blue. Usually found within a particular spectrum of blue that apparently simulates natural...

Excellent! I <3 google. :D

To quote BangGuy on a previous post... I'm definite on this one. Keyholes mostly eat Algae but they sometimes scrape the top layer of skin off of leather corals. This can damage the coral if done too often. Read this post, also... https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/121894/is-this-a-limpet p.s...

I have a 50gal reef with a 110gal fudge :D weird eh? Thats a lot of fudge! :o Hehehe. Seriously though, I'm pretty sure this is going to turn out to be a display tank. Maybe the 20gal tall will be a fuge ...despite how much I'd love to fill it with fudge.

The first pic, possibly a sponge. They pop up on occasion. The orange thingamabob, i believe, is a skirted keyhole limpet according to what I remember of BangGuy's previous IDs. Probably a hitchhiker you never noticed until now. Excellent pics, btw. :)

Hehe and I was thinking to suggest possible reversed wires. I think I was just figuring that the fans would just spin reversed. *shrug* Glad you got them working! :D

I dont see why not, you may want to check other sources to be sure.

Yeah, mag-floats are awesome.

Concentrated lemon juice is reported to work also.

Fighting Conchs are good for diatoms, if thats what you have.

Yeah, that sounds like my most reasonable option. Although I dont have the space for 2 55gal tanks considering I'm practically shoehorning in just one. So, if I just take all the stuff in my 29gal tank and move it into the 55... Just add some more water and LS, will this cause another cycle...

Whats "RR"? I called a glass company and they didnt do scratch removal. I couldnt contact any other companies since time was limited. Its a standard 55gal tank. But the thing is I paid $50 for the tank AND stand. I went to see if I could sell the tank to a 1 month old LFS I have good relations...

You can do both. If you just place them you need to find some sort of method to keeping them stationary until they attach, though. Otherwise they will blow around in the current. A popular method is using "wedding veil" or some sort of open mesh stuff to hold it down (its least obstructing for...

I dont think grain size matters. Bacteria should grow on everything. Thats what people use liverock for. Consider a piece of LR as one giant grain. :)

Look into doing a quick freshwater dip. That might help. There may be differing opinions, though so wait for more replies (or do a search). :)

Glad to be of service. :)

Well if my other 2 alternatives are too expensive, than I may just do that. The only issue is room. I was going to move the 29 and keep it as a spare and replace it with the 55. I cant really have both in that spot at once. Since my apt is small, I dont have many other (decent) places to put it...
