I just got back in the hobby after a 15 year absence. This is my newly setup 14, and my 90 gallon will be here shortly. It's a little cloudy as I just finished installing the large rock with the Coraline algae on the right side of the tank.
Question, do you all know what the "Lunar Blue-Moon-Glow LED" device does? I plugged it in and I don't notice any difference between having it plugged in and not. I checked the instructions and can't get a clear explanation. Thanks in advance.

engine-
the moon LED provides no benefit for your tank and will be overpowered by your pc's. the purpose of the moon LEDs is to provided minimal lighting during the night when your pc's go off. it is there solely to be able to view the tank at night.

 

[aquapod 24]

what is that plant coming off of the purple rock?

 

[engine_24]

I have no idea. Some sort of algae/seaweed. I just like the way it looked, plus they charged me the base rock rate for it as well. The place I got it from said they had the rock for quite a while now. I figure having about 18lbs+ in a 14 gallon micro reef is pretty good.

I'm proud of my tank again! Everything is going well since the heat wave in August and subsequent power outage in September. Its fully stocked with fish again and looking awesome! Wanted to share a few pictures

 

[asharp13]

NANO REEFERS! GREAT JOB! i wanna have a contest and give the winner a 25 dollar gift certificate for swf. any with ideals PM me!

chase-
looks good dude but i would seriously start attacking that algae. if u check out my diary, mine started like that too and completely overran my tank. it was a huge headache and took me like 3mos to clear up. i would cut back on feedings, check the water that you are using, and maybe black our tank out for a couple days. turning the lights out for 2 days did the most damage to my algae. if you need help just holler and get that crap out of there or else it will be everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chaseter]

The hair algae was every where! That is why I was ashamed to post pics. I started cutting light and feeding less and it is completely gone from my live rock. The rock it is on in front was man made and very porous so it has taken a strong hold on it. It is getting better though.
I think I am going to try a black out for 2 days but will that hurt my corals or my rose anem???

 

[asharp13]

i am not sure about your rose anemone but in terms of your corals no. i blacked out my tank for 2.5 days and all my corals survived. i say go for it and check your phosphate levels...ive heard man made rock leaches phosphates so it might be a good idea to really cure that man made rock in an outside of tank bin and then put it back in there
