now you just need something to turn it on when you are not around and you are good to go.

cool concept.

I bet most of the stuff we buy is made in China anyway. Anything that is not made with standard parts is almost certainly manufactured in China.

oh its still nasty dapettit. Take out out and put it in a bucket and you shall get the above results. I have learned that yearly I just have to siphon out my whole bed, strain it, and put it back in.

What worked for me.

1) Took out old filthy sand bed and ran glass bottom

2) Elevated rocks off the bottom so flow can get under them.

3) Took out most infested rocks and cured them in a separate dark QT tank.

4) Replaced sand bed with thin fresh bed cooked in separate dark tank.

5) Used phosphate absorption media and phosphate binder.

6) Water changes.

7) Added macro to the display to compete for resources.

Phosphate kits are not sensitive enough to pick up the levels required by byropsis/hair to grow.

Fishtales, you have no idea what you are buying and where it came from. Collecting your own livestock is actually one of the most ethical and environmentally friendly things you can do.

I put it in my small 12g reef. There is lots of hard and soft coral in there so we shall C.

I am 99.9% they are this.

Looking for a patch of Maiden's Hair algae or other cool macros....

It WOULD be just like sea salt

That is a pretty good guess but I wouldn't bet all my chips on it being harmless. I am sure there are many species that look similar that behave in diff ways. Do you have a six line?

I have used "Blue Vet" red slime remover in the past. It worked really well but I went with 1/2 the recommended dose. It also seemed to have the long term effect of taking out some of my good filtering bacteria as well or killing off enough of something that it started to raise my N levels. It also caused irritation in SPS and total retraction of my yellow polyps for a week or so. I accelerated water changes to give the biological bed a chance to recover. And all was well.

nice, I don't like the stuff growing on the plug though.

I like the way you are defending the damsel! Stick with your boy!

he might be molting...3 days is a long time. I am going to go against the grain there. There is no harm in moving him so go for it.

If you want to do roti you have to do phytoplankton. If we are serious about getting a group together with redundancy we should probably have a meeting about it.

yep. give me a call and come get him. I have pmed you my number

if it can live at petco its prob tough as nails. I have found the staff to be...uninformed.

16 gal....take the rocks out and put them in the dark for a few days. That will nuke it.

he is racket ball size.

15th and mopac. You can come get him Friday. Cool?

I use it in my fish only tank. No problems. I let it soak for a few months first with just macro and sunlight.

$10 or best offer. Or I will trade for some nice macro.
