I'm about to move the 30 lbs of live rock that is in my 30gal. tank into my brand new 125 tank... the problem is i have developed some hair algea on my existing live rock (a bit of red slime too). So i thought that maybe i could put them into a rubbermaid container for a couple of days with a...

OK, this looks like the same one with 3 250w bulbs... Is this everything i would need? it's runs 350.00 after shipping... there is also a 400w version for 10 bucks more...so are the 400 bulbs way more expensive than the 250? or should i buy the 400 setup now and put in the 250 bulbs, that way...

i didn't get a sheet telling me to boil mine...i just gave them a good rinsing, nothing was hurt... if i remember correctly some looked llike they had dead crabs in them.... my lfs sells nice shells, but they are about .75 each , swf is much better. matt

what about the striped bannerfish? heniochious? sp? how do you feel about those? matt
