    Red Hair Algae on new Snails

    I just picked up a bunch of Astraeas from a LFS. After acclimating them, I noticed three of them are covered with what appears to be red hair algae. I've never seen red h.a. before. I tried scrubbing it off with a tooth brush, but it didn't help. I'm keeping them isolated for now. Any thoughts...

    SureFlow 1600-Too much for 75?

    I just got in 2 SureFlow 1600's for my 75 gal. I put them on my 2 MaxiJet 1200's. I wanted higher flow but more importantly I want a wider flow. After I turned these on... Wow! I was amazed how much water started moving. But then everything in my tank started to freak out. (no surprise. I was...

    Id Please. Duster - Aiptasia - Robot?

    This guy has been in my zoa colony for months. It hasn't gotten much bigger since I first noticed it. It doesn't seem featherly enough to be a duster or tentacle-ly enough to be an aiptasia. Whats weird is when it closes it's arms they don't withdraw in. They fold up like a tripod.

    Anyone familiar with Coralvue Ballasts?

    I noticed that Coralvue makes a Dual Electronic MH Ballast. Anyone have any experience with Coralvue MH ballasts?

    Coralife Super Skimmer Overflowing

    Every time I do a water top off, my CSS 125 collection cup fills up and overflows. I've resorted to turning the dial all the way down before I do a top off and then readjusting it up. Does anyone else have this problem or have any idea for a solution?

    Starting a Kalk Siphon Orally?

    I'm guessing it would taste awful, but is it safe to start a dripline siphon of Kalk using your mouth? I know its caustic, but is it so that it would burn your mouth if a little got in there?

    Epoxy Putty Question

    How "permanent" are epoxy putties? (ie AquaStik or HoldFast) This is my first reef tank and I'm a little leery of permanently securing my aquascaping and corals.
