It says brownish red or red tho? Mine is a little darker then the sand(brownish) Is this still the same thing? Just not coloured up yet
It only seems to be in the right side corner of my tank under my powerhead and near the intake pump for my fuge.. It looks like its part of the sand so from what I'm reading it prob is ditamis(spelt it wrong). Will it eventually spread unstill all the silica from the sand is gone? Or is it just going to build up in those corners?

It will build up where there is the least flow...this will show you where you may need more flow also....
the color could be tan, brown, dark brown.....right now I am having the green algae on my sand in the 29g....all normal for a new tank

yeah so then its tht forsure because I know there isnt much flow where its growing and i did it that way just incase I buy a coral that needs low to no flow. Everywhere else theres a medium to high flow. I pointed my powerhead upwards to make more or a current rather than a shooting stream of water.

Well I guess that would explain the lack of a charge on you cc

The problem is with your being in Canada...you never seem to be able to get what we can

Coralife 20" #53101 $168.25 96W Saltwater Aqualight
this was there substitute for the other light fixture.. Should I get it? I kinda wanted a built in moon light. And if I were to go with this choice what else would I have to buy with it?

It doesn't look like a bad light...and you can buy that moonlight I told you about.
Is this light any cheaper?

Yeha by like 20$ but i rather have it all in one because now if i have to buy a moonlight where am i going to put it? Plus that fixture hasd to sit on the top of the tank rather than being a satelite(which i wanted). The only upside to this fixture is that its 96W rather than the 2x40w from the other. Also the other light had the seperate bulbs this ones a quad bulb w.e that means.
To top it off I found the same light hes offering me for cheaper on another site by 30$.
I emailed the guy back to see if he can get me the light i originally ordered even if i have to wait a while told him im in no rush and I also told him that the lights he offered werent really what I was looking for because of limited space(no room for a moon light) plus the whole open top tank concept I wanted. W ell see what he says but i nthe meantime I'm oin the search for lights once again! haha

Now that's a good reason...If I wanted black I wouldn't settle for gray or whatever that color is either
WELLLLL....Start shopping again....

Yeah, and if you look at my tank everythigns black so the hood will be an eyesoar. Maybe the guy will hook me up with a MH fixture haha.
What do you think about this fixture:
20" Satellite 1*40W Sunpaq PC w/Lunar Light
Its only one bulb thats what I dont like about it which means I would have to choose between the blue light or the normal white light
