    question about detritus

    Can't you just syphon it off when you do a water change? Get a small syphon hose from your local hardware store so you don't syphon a lot at one time and just move around the tank with it cleaning the detritus. You could do a gl a week and thereby accomplishing 2 tasks in one. Water change and...

    Light???

    I wouldn't think it would be good except for a fish only tank. Mushrooms may do OK, but a 55gl it kind of tall and PC does not have very good light output. The price of T5s is not high at all for many of the fixtures available and retro kits even less so. This would be the way to go if you are...

    Black sand, whats the deal????

    The bacteria will grow on any thing. You just heard wrong is all. The only problem with black sand is that it does not reflect light so if you have corals they will not recieve as much lighting as they would with white sand. But if you have good lighting it would not matter.

    stumped on red slime...little confused

    I second a refugium and more flow. A local buddy of mine is going through the exact same thing and where it is growing the flow is virtually non-existant. I gave him some chaeto to start a refugium so hopefully that will help. Keep update on it please. Interested to see what happens.

    Seems that all that has and will come out of this is pple angry at SWF, at each other, plus leaving the site (the site will defenetly slow quite a bit as will SWF sales as will be seen in the future to come-Fostersmith takes most online retail sales stocking lots and lots of fish, corals and dry...

    Volcanics Looking Better

    You got those from the Z-Frags place? I know a few here had problems with them before and I have heard some have had good results with them. Is that where you got them CoralJunkie? If so what are your thoughts now on that place? I was thinking of getting a few frags from there.

    I thought it was a good concept at first, but after hearing there is a paypal sellers fee on top of the fee for SWF I don't think it will be such a good thing after all. I deleted my auction before I ended up having to pay anything besides the initial $2 to SWF. I can't see selling things at the...
