Any kind of light will do for the Caluerpa.

You cant use tap water or RO water. It must be distilled water. You can make enough distilled water to calibrate your refractometer. Place a teakettle full of water on the stove. when the steam starts blowing, place a clean coffee mug or glass over the opening to catch the steam. When the steam...

What is your lighting schedule? Do you have macroalgae in your sump? If not, then put some in there with a light over top. Algae needs two things to survive, nitrates and light. If you have macroalage in your sump, and increase lighting over it, it will starve the hair algae and the hair algae...

Add another 50 pounds of LR and increase your water flow. By the way, where in Philly are you? I'm in the Northeast.

Can you use tap water? YES Is it recomended? NO Is tap water cheaper? In the short run, YES but in the long run, NO. Eventually you will be shelling out more dollars for algae removers and phosphate removers which would have been less costly if you just used RO to begin with. So my advice is to...

You're not even married yet and already she is telling you what to do? Keep the fishtanks and dump the girl.

They do stick on. See my thread "Disaster Struck"

Two heaters would not have mattered and in this instance it didnt becuase I had two in the tank at the time. The problem was that one didnt turn off which caused the water to over heat. Even with one heater, if its defective and doesnt turn off, the water is going to be overheated.

I run all my pumps inside for 2 reasons. 1 it helps to quiet the motor and 2 it heps to heat the water which causes the heater to come on less often.

It doesnt matter because Christmas will be his last game. When he comes to town, Dawkins will have a present for him.

Well like the heading says, I'm looking to upgrade to a bigger tank, either a 75 or a 90 that is reef ready. I am in N.E.Philly. email me if you have one available trainfever at comcast dot net

Unless you have seen the crack with your own eyes, I wouldnt worry. It honestly just sounds like salt is creeping up from the trim. Could it possibly be just from water dripping down the glass behind the trim from when you stick your arm in the tank for maintenance like doing water changes?

The shrooms are still there. They are just shriveled up like when the lights go out, only smaller. They are not mushy or anything, just not opened. The temp is fine now, back to 78.

My heater malfunctioned the other night and I came down yesterday morning to find the temperature in my tank at 97.6 degrees. I lost a Copperband Butterfly and both my Peppermint and Cleaner shrimp were cooked. I also lost a Feather duster worm. I figured it was a goner because it left its tube...

I'm not certain but I think I saw one of them in one of my reference books. I'll check when I get home, I am at work right now. Anyway, if you want to trade, I'd be willing. email me trainfever@comcast.net

Where are you located?

The bulb is a 24" 30 watt 50/50 bulb.

Bleach wont hurt it. Bleach is made from saltwater and then reverts back to salt water when in breaks down. I'm serious. Dont believe me? Call Clorox and ask one of their techs.
