Are both lights gone?

I think you and I have the same make of tank. I recognize the tall outflow and return tubes. Do you have a sump underneath the stand?

I have a foxface and every once in a while he seems to fart. I'll look up and see this rather large air bubble headed for the surface from right where he is swimming. Is this possible?

what is the manufactured? Brand Name?

Do you think the plastic tubing will get enough heat exchange? Copper or stainless steel tubing would be better? Would the copper leach into the water causing problems?

Have yall seen this on youtube? It is a very nice LED light. It is a little pricey to experiment with but could this be the future of aquarium lighting?

I saw a used Nova Extreme 8 X 54W plus 10 bulbs at Aquatek for $280 Monday. I don't know if it is still there or not.

I have a Precision Marine RL100 that I only used for a couple of months that you can have for $100.

Any chance this is still available?

In my reading, chaeto seems to be the weed of choice for sumps. Does any one want to sell a sandwich baggie full?

I have two large turbos (golf ball sized) and they ignore it totally. I have a protein skimmer but I do not have a RO/DI setup. I hope to get one in June. I can scrape the hair off by hand but it is not completely gone and it tends to grow back fairly quickly. I think my next purchase will be a Sea Hare from the Aqua Dome. I have read good things about them. I also have read that putting marine snow, phytoplankton, etc. in the tank for the soft corals is a waste of food (and money) as the soft corals use very very little of it. It just adds to the protein burden to be gotten rid of. Any thoughts?

I bought a small 4 LED light from Dr Foster and Smith and my soft corals seem to love it. It is just 4 10K LEDs and my soft corals seem to love it. My mushrooms starting budding like crazy. I would like to build a better one with more white and actinic lights. Here is the link:

Why dreaded?

I know from the posts that other people besides me are having green hair algae blooms. They are trading a sea hare around to keep it in check. BTW, I saw a couple for sale at the Aqua Dome on Ben White. Odd looking things, aren't they? I also saw an article on Craig's List that gives a treatment. Search for "Bryopsis". The administrator will not allow links to Craig's List, apparently. Has anyone tried this treatment before? Are there any downsides to the treatment detailed there?

It does look like the encrusting sponge thing. It does not look like Briareum. It does not have separate polyps. It has a mat like star polyps. Thanks pincer7. I apologize for doubting you. I have never done a frag. I am way too new at this. Give it a month or so and I might be willing to let you harvest a frag, Capt. O. I live in Hutto so we are not too far apart.

I don't think it is gorgonian. Here is a link to 171 pictures of gogonian coral and not one looks even a little like mine. http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/gorgonian-coral.html

Anyone had any experience with calupra? Aquatek has some for sale.

Jake at River City said it was a type of polyp. It looks like a mat. The little "hairs" are completely withdrawn. It seems to be growing rather quickly. I have had it about 10 days and it is half again as big as when I bought it. We like the wavy movement of the "hairs". One of the employees brought it from their tank to sell at River City.

I bought this at River City and was told it was brianium(?) and I can't find anything like it anywhere on the web. Does anyone know what it is?

I am going and I am thinking of volunteering.

In the forums, I ran across a mention of "3 days of darkness". What is this and what is it supposed to do? I really do appreciate all the expertise on this board. It's nice to have someplace to go for information.

Can we get a better expanation of the "3 days of darkness"? I haven't heard that before.

The site still seems to load pretty slowly. Anyone else having this problem?

How did the 110 VHO setup compare to the Metal Halide setup and the T5 setup? How long did the VHO bulbs last? What are you currently using? Sorry to be so inquisitive but I am trying to decide on my next lighting fixure.

I'll be there as well. Would an ice chest with a case of assorted soft drinks be ok?
