first 2 pics are of some kind of macro algae . ive always tried to find similar on the net with no luck. really would like to know more about it. the rest of the pics are of tubelike structures that dominate my sand bed. i googled tube worms for awhile with no luck. thing is my tank used to be...

can this be good? my sea apple decided that after i turned the PH he wasnt getting enough flow. so he gets all big (quadrupled in size for 2 days) and goes and sits right next to my neon BTA. now the funny part is that i havent been able to view my BTA in months because after i re-aquascaped he...

thanks stdreb27. it was not good looking at all. the other thing is i havent made the plung yet to the MHs made specifically for SW tanks. i got these at home depot and they are MH but im sure they dont have the spectrum as the $90 bulbs. thats why im kinda leaning towards buying a coralife 36"...

thanks speed it did fire ,just took 10 minutes. the MV looks horrible. its making me wonder if the old bulbs were mv or not. they certainly are not that yellow. i put the old one back and will just get the other MH asap. also, my daylight 36''(barely noticable) bulb was not a coralife and the...

so apperantly i replaced one MV for a new one and its repeating what it did earlier with the new MH and old MV which is the MV warms up nice and slow but the MH is sloooowww to fire up. is this ok? basically i just dont want to cause a fire

wow thanks for the fast replys guys. i am about to go fire them at the same time in about 10 minutes. i also had a 36'' actinic, but made myself some good moonlight with a blue light-rope. acually in all its 30 feet total of that stuff. looks good so im gonna have a 36 in daylight bulb now to...

i read in another thread that sometimes you can and sometimes you cant. if anyone can tell me why or why not that would be terrific. im wanting to run this for just a little while till i get the other MH lamp. i obviously have 2 ballasts that are for a 175w MH , it does say hid and its m57. any...

thanks for the input i bought a tiny one and i guess in a year or so ill take him back to LFS i reaally want a cleaner shrimp so i guess ill have to add him pretty quick

been reading books,checkin threads,talkin to LFSs and watchin videos on these guys and people haved mixed opinions/experiences with them. can anyone offer their knowledge of niger triggers as far as are they reef safe? will they always eat snails? shrimp? i did find that some can keep...

very nice do you ever use the air/bubble option on that powerhead i assume so ,since youve got it hooked up

here i am with my sis

good news and bad. i found my little kenya tree. funny enough, it was right where i left it . bitter sweet news, my seaclone skimmer is finally foaming over into the cup however its dropping tons of micro bubbles into the tank. what should i do here. let it skim at the cost of MB, or tune it...

well. it is done and im very,very happy with it. ill post before and after pics tomorrow when it has cleared up and the hallides are on. thanks for the help guys. oh , and so far my only bonehead move was forgetting to keep track of the little kenya tree i bought today for 8 bucks. but i hear...

also i was wondering if, while im at it, i should pull off all the macroalgea tubes/trees that ive got growing or just leave it. its not outta control but its there if you look for it.

my buddy told me to scrub my LR of algea and diatoms so i bought a handheld brush with very firm bristles. can anyone else verify that its ok to do so before i pull the trigger
