Nice. What camera and lens?

The kit is designed for acrylic. You might check this site for glass. I used it to get some micro-mesh to work on profs tank. micro-mesh

Several months ago I tried catching our blonde naso tang. He wasn't doing well and I wanted to give a dip for his constipation. I borrowed a fish trap and set it up in our acrylic tank. We forgot all about the scratching problems connected with owning an acrylic tank. Our main concern was getting the naso healed. Well as you may have surmised we scratched the tank pretty bad! We also didn't catch the naso but he has since gotten rid of his constipation. Several months went by before I finally decided it was time to remove the scratches, but how? I found a hand scratch removal kit made by ETR (we originally used their product to re-furbish the 150). I bought the kit but wasn't brave enough to use it. The weekend before the January meeting we decided the scratches need to be removed. The instructions said we could use the micro-mesh in the tank without harming the inhabitants. The kit consists of several grades of micro-mesh cut to for your specific magnetic algae remover. I marked the area with a white grease pencil with a little extra area for feathering the sanding area. I took the first piece of micro-mesh and with the help of my wife we lowered the back half of the algae scrapper into the tank. Robin started the stop watch as I moved the sand paper up and down until the scratches disappeared. I then used each additional piece in the kit using the opposite motions (right to left) making each scratch pattern disappear. In about 90 minutes the scratches were gone! The tank looks great!

What are your water params? Is the algae hariry? How much and how often do you feed? Do you use tap water or ro/di water to top off? We can better help you with this information.

Hey Jake, I have a couple of URI super actinics I just replace it you still need some T-5 bulbs.

If you tried to get into the chat room early on last night we had technical difficulties. We apologize and Andrew has fixed the problem. This was our first try at it and we think it went very well.

As grandparents we would be devasted if any thing should happen to any of our children. Our thought are with you and yours.

Also check with Shane at Fishy Business on Burnet.

They eat both. I would get a lawnmower blennie.

I have a frag of green slimmer you're welocmed to have.

When I was storing my rock until the tank was ready I ran the lights 8 hrs a day. Some rock had mushroom on it. When moving the rock to the tank we discovered snails on the rock and at the bottom of the containers. So I would say yes only because this was what I experienced. Not sure about the mangroves. If you don't have a power head in the container(s) I would recommend using one.

very nice

These are awesome and fast growers! Bump for great palys.
