Pho. are 0 and I have 3 powerheads and my sump line in a 37. (lots of motion in the ocean)

I have developed some red slime algae on my sand bottom. any one have some suggestions on feeders to get rid of it. (water parameters are great) I don't want to use fish because I don't want to add to the bio-load. I was thinking serpentbrittle star, but I have never had them before.

I've heard that copperband butterflies will eat them, but I wouldn't know because when I got one, my royal gramma beat the snot out of him and he died. oh well

I just read in "sea scope" that a foxface will eat bubble algea.

tykill, I wouldn't say you were wrong about the cost of scuba. I have been in saltwater for 2 years and I have just started scubadiving so far they have cost about the same only because my dive store gives me a 30 % discount since I am on a fire dept dive team. by th way, scuba is worth it.

I think I would leave out the fish for now, I would also add more live sand I would use at least 30 if not 40 pounds. and if you are worried about the anemone, I would be more than happy to keep it for you =)

I didn't realize you could put a beta in saltwater.

The hot water method does work if they are easy to get to, but many times they are not in a convenient place. In that case go get a pepermint shrimp that should take care of it.

I could feed them more but I dont want to put to much food matter into the tank since it is so small.

you will most likely have to use a different hood with a pc's or vho's (sorry, but it is worth it)

josh and kelly, you guys ought to go to garf.org and check out how this non profit organization into coral propagation lights their tanks. I do not do it this way myself, but it is very interesting.

Just go with live sand, you will have no regrets.

Leave it alone, it will go away. by the way, I hope you didn't wash the live sand.

I wanted to share my experience with anemones because of some things i have read lately. I have a 37 gal reef tank that when I started out in the hobby had an eclipse hood with 2 18 watt bulbs, I added an extra 20 watt actinic bub this brought my watts per gal. up to about 1.5 wpg. During this...

I have to ask how old the bulbs ae too.

I'm personally a vho fan, I would get a ice cap 660 and use 4 bulbs.

julian sprungs book says that they should be in the sand with plenty of room around them for expansion

I have a 37 with 3 75watt vho and I have 4 sps and they are doing great. I have all of them high in the tank. I think you might be able to do it if you get them up high in the tank

blowing out because I don't like dust buildup falling into my tank.

Hey, I just noticed you were from madison, If you are ever down in lake geneva, you need to go to kens, They have great livestock and the best prices i've ever seen. No, I don't work there.
