    The coloring and touch test of this item don't match aipastia. (pretty sure thats the wrong spelling) Plus this thing has a base that sets on the rock, not in it like aipastia does. Well anyways, it's some kinda hitch hicker polp and I'll leave it be. Thanks for all the post.

    Bubbles and brown algea

    I have the JBJ Formosa DX-JG3 260 watts. Is this enough lite for the Sebae Anemone? I am now thinking that it just mite a little late for the QT tank. But what are the things I need for a tank like this? Power head, heater, light, do you really need LS and LR?

    Bubbles and brown algea

    Tank has been set up for a month and one day. Not very long I know, but these bubbles in the sand bed just showed up. Exactly how long should the light be on? Thanks

    Bubbles and brown algea

    Can anybody tell what this stuff is? And why are the bubbles showing up in and on top of the sand? The yellow dots are the air bubbles, hey I tried to make them a little more easier to see not sure if it worked.

    Confused about specs.

    I'm not sure if the L/R was cured when I purchased it not. The LFS guy said that holding goes threw a cycle once every 20 days. Maybe from anew shipment that comes in. So is it safe to start adding fish and corals (slowly, real slow)? I'm worried about the influx on the bio load and the tank...

    Confused about specs.

    That quick? I thought that it took something like 6 weeks. Should I turn the skimmer back on? do yah think the L/R and L/S helped with the cycle? I have all kinds of stuff in tanks from the above items: Snails, little shrimp things, aiptasia, little tube feather dusters, bristle worm, pods...

    55 up and running...a few questions

    So let me see if I've got this right. You don't have to use all live sand for a DSB, you can "seed" it with just a 20# bag? If so what else could I use? What is "play sand"? Sorry for the questions. I thought that you had to use all live sand.
