    This stuff has been growing on my LR for about two months now. The polyps are under 1/4" each and are seperate from each other. For reference, the biggest mushroom in the pic is about 1" in diameter. Pic with a Finepix 3800, f2.8, macro on.

    DIY Moonlighting

    Here's my new moonlighting. Cost me under $7.00! It's an auto accessory I found at Walgreens. Called "Mood Lighting" by Custom Accessories, Inc., plugs into 12V DC. They also had little spotlight types. Both are blue LED and very bright at 12V, I have them on 9V (spare adapter I had laying...

    Another crazy Cap'n Pete idea

    Has anyone ever painted the top of a PC bulb with chrome paint? Much like URI VHO bulbs, it would serve as an internal reflector, forcing all light to the bottom of the tube with no loss of light from the top. I have put aluminum foil on NO flourescents before with no problem. My concern with...

    Anyone with B-Ionic exp.

    Anyone use B-Ionic? For those who don't know what it is, it's a two part liquid calcium/buffer additive. First part raises and maintains alkalinity and second is a calcium additive. My wife's cousin uses and swears by it. He just bought a pH probe and the pH was at 8.0. He added the B-Ionic and...

    SWCD Squid

    Has anyone heard about or even used the new SCWD (Switching Current Water Director) pronounced "Squid"? Came across it online. A web search pulls up a personal site of someone who has installed one on a Mag7 and seems to like it so far. Basically a t-valve that switches flow from one side to the...

    Post your reef tank here

    Mods, I don't know what you think, but other BB have seperate forums for pics and stats of the members tanks. Maybe we can just make this sticky. The rules are simple: (1) Each member allowed only one post per tank owned. (2) One pic (no bigger than 500 x 400 pixels) of the front of the tank...

    Bristle worm caught attacking snail!

    Came home and just caught a bristle worm attacking an astrea snail. It had crawled up the glass and was half inside the snail shell. The snail was pressing itself against the glass trying not to be eaten. It would occasionally let up but would quickly retract as it got bit again. At least this...

    OT: Got a table saw for Christmas!

    I got a new table saw and this is my first DIY project. It's a Thomas the Tank Engine table. These things cost about $200 retail. I built it for about $40. Still needs sanded and stained.

    Where'd those overflows go?

    It has come to my attention that I am not supposed to be selling new equipment on this forum. I have removed the previous thread on my own accord. I can still be reached at Fortfuzz@hotmail.com with inquiries.

    Need a new mascot

    I need a new mascot to use for my reef projects. My current one is not for commercial use. I would like something very similiar but perhaps a little more reefy, such as leaning on tank with a shark or something. Computer jpeg or gif format preferred, but will take hand drawn. Must be cleanly...

    Suggestion for SWF about BB

    I have no problem with SWF wanting those who visit the bulletin board to have to look at their product links. My suggestion is this: How about putting the buttons on the TOP of the frame so we can all see the bulletin board without having to scroll left and right all the time. Hey, win-win...

    Refugium experts, lighting question

    I currently have grape caulerpa in a four gallon Sterilite container lit by a full spectrum 15W fluorescent 24/7. It's starting to not look so good and there is really no algea growth in the refugium. It's been running for about 3 weeks now. Do I need better lighting? Perhaps the $25 6500K 65W...

    pump recommendations

    I am planning on adding a refugium/ algea scrubber on my 29G. I am going to make a DIY overflow box and put in a powerhead to pump out the water to the refugium. I am going to use 2 plastic containers (one for refugium, one for return pump). I am not concerned with high rate, just want to make...
