so far, the freshwater soak has worked on the rock that was soaked. I still have some caulerpa stuck on some polyp rocks that is next to impossible to get off. I do however have some hair algae growing back on the soaked rocks. Would putting chaeto in the tank help with the spread of caulerpa...

Today i took out all of my live rock that didn't have coral growing on it and soaked it in fresh water and then scrubbed everything clean with a tooth brush. I also picked off as much of the caulerpa left on my rocks with coral. Now that I have almost all of this crap off the rocks, is there...

That freshwater dip sounds like a good idea. Should I do this one rock at a time or is it ok to do multiple? This is in a 29g tank and i don't want have to start my tank completely over.

Thanks for the quick reply. This crap grows very quickly. I'm thinkin about taking out all of my live rock and scrubbing it down.

I put some of this in my main tank about 5 months ago and it has taken over my tank. What is the best way to get rid of it? Picking it? Also is there any little critter that will help keep it from spreading?

I was wondering what type of light would be recomended for a 29g aquarium. I currently have pc's in the form of a 30" current orbit with 2x65w bulbs. I have some soft coral and am looking to get some polyps. Will 24" t5 unit stretch the length of the aquarium with the legs all the way out and...

If i were you i would post in the DIY forum for get the attention of fanker. He knows a lot about t5's. You can also do a search on the DIY forum.

i agree...it does look like a long tenticle

i'd look into some t5's. i think you would see a huge difference as long as you set them up right.

definitely go with t5's. I'm not sure on the amount but i'm sure fanker could help you out.

do a search for the t5 thread on the DIY section by fanker and you will get all the info you need.

I wouldn't go with pc's or vho. I would look into t5's ho unless you are going to get MH.

T5 will be better in all areas.

I finished making the final installation on my t5 retro and it is extremely bright compared to my t8's. I ended up taking the factory lighting out of the eclipse hood and only had to drill 8 holes to mount the new lights. So other than the small screw heads in the top of the plastic canopy...
