YGM!

No. Some suggest a host is better, but in that case the current recommendation is to use corals and hope the clown hosts in that.

I don't know about weakening light intensity, but I know they trap heat. I have versatops on my tank. I prop them open with the veturi connection for my powerheads. I don't run air through the powerheads so they are spare parts. Doing this dropped the temp about two degrees. As for salt...

MichaelTX, I'm glad you concur with my theory. -concur is the right word right? ->bad day and my brain is starting to fry. - I don't know about the high flow areas. I really want to add worms. they should mix the sand around regardless of flow (the way I figure) I really want to get some...

Ya know, I feel the same way. After getting lots of info off this board I figured the company behind it would stock good items. Needless to say I ordered all rio phs. Then I read on some posts that maxi jets are the way to go. My last purchase included two maxi jets. Hands down the better...

Have you checked this boards general feeling on anemones? Of course it's your tank, do what you want, but a lot of people are against trying to keep an anemone. Many people suggest a coral for the host. I don't know personally if maroons will take a to hosting in corals, but it seems to be...

OK, I want to throw in my 2 cents. I think cyno has to do (of course) with phosphate/lighting/and water flow. But I'm really starting to think a huge factor is with small inverts and such. I've been fighting cyno for about four weeks now. I started by letting it go crazy hoping it would starve...

Thomas712 - Do you have any corals? If so, do the chitons do anything to them? If not, do you want to unload a few?

OK, so I think I want to add some more things for sand bed. I just wanted to check my picks with everyone... I would like to add a few scarlet hermits, some spaghetti worms, some bristle worms, some chitons, and some amphipods. The worms I want to add to the main tank. The pods will go in the...

My mag 7 is in the water in my sump. Has worked great so far. No compliants.

Thanks for all the info. guys. Here's some feedback: Mudshark-I make my own water. I have a kent 50GPD ro/di system. Wrassecal-(and others) I've already thrown out any remaining squid. The bubbles are on rock glass and sand. They weren't there this morning but as the day is progressing they...

Thanks skilos. It's not overly slimy -given that most algae is somewhat slimy. I don't have a phosphate test but I'll get one and do a test. I'm not feeding with flake. I only give my inverts some raw squid, and I've fed my corals with some frozen phytoplankton -sp?. The only change is that...

Skilos1 - RO/DI water. Describe red slime some. This doesn't look red. It's more of a very brown with a little green mixed in.

Thanks for the advice leigh. My only question for that is, if time was a problem why haven't I had an outbreak of algae until now? The tanks been fully up for at least 3 months. I can't imagine an algae breakout that happens within a week, would happen now and not earlier. I'll probably cut...

OK that's all for now. What's the f%$^ing deal!?
