    !!!! Urgent Post !!!! PLEASE REPLY!!!!

    What exactly does a protein skimmer do?

    It may help if you call it a fractionator, than a protein skimmer. It’s the same as any other filter except the filter media in this case is very little air bubbles that actively run through the water column and remove anything that it can “cling” to. The “gook” bubbles to the top of the cup...

    Cyanobacteria - red to yellow?

    hmm...didn't meant to start anything up, but I have to agree with Quazi (15 year old reef!!!! - more information PLEASE!!!) that Calurpa is macro algae, and cyanobacteria was mistakenly id'ed as blue-green algae (it is neither - although sometimes blue-green I guess)... I'm going to jump to a...

She sais, "yes, you do.", so I go...

    Draxx - good posts, well said, except I did do the search and "the communist rules for revolution" came up on an urban legends debunking page http://www.snopes.com/language/document/commrule.htm - But I don’t think the actual document matters - a much older book, "The Art of War" says...

    Fish - we're cool :cool: HT - no offense intended - I have a lot of respect for the media, its not an easy job and I believe most journlaists take their responsibilities seriously.
