I've had really good success with an Emerald Crab. I manually worked at removing the larger bubble algae and let the Emerald Crab work on the rest. Within a few weeks it was virtually all gone. Note: this was in a 28gal tank. Hope this helps.

Hi edwood, Fun stuff! Do you have a time lapse on your camera or did you use Final Cut or the equivalent to speed things up?

Sorry to hear about this and hope the thief gets caught. Glad to see a posting on Reef Builders regarding this. I like the idea of reversing the door, it just makes it that much more of an impediment. In terms of finger printing the place, being that it is a place where people are actively...

Nice pic Anthony! I used to play with these little buggers when I was kid. I'd catch them, put them in a jar and then go get skipper moths to feed them.

Durwin, Captain Cook area is just south of Kona (about 15 to 20 minutes) in Kealakekua. Something you might want to do is rent a sea kayak in/around Kealakekua area (there's many places that rent) and at the end of the road that goes to Kealakekua is a spot that you can park and launch your...

Mike, Richard is right, you need to have some kind of biological filtration on a pond to help with the algae. Also, you typically want somewhere between 60 and 70 percent coverage of the surface area of the pond with some kind of plant. Most people go with water lilies and if you search...

Just Display = 28g

Mike, I just moved about 10 miles about two weeks ago with a 28gallon and did exactly what Mike recommends. I had a bunch of styrofoam containers and a large cooler to place the LR in. I did go to an LFS and picked up some fish bags for the fish and inverts and that was helpful. Also, I did...

Nice Jeremy! Wow, and here I thought my tank was full! Maybe I really do have more room! :)

Cool Stuff! Welcome!

Love those pics of the coral at low tide! Amazing and informative about the real environment that some of our coral specimens live in!

Thanks All! I wasn't so much worried about taking it out of it's liquid environment as breaking the cali tort the process. That said, when I get a chance, I'll give it a go and take pics for posting later. Hope for the best!

My little 28G JBJ has just the slightest curve on the front but I don't like even that. My tank isn't really that bad, but even then, there still is some slight distortion. This bothers me. Also, if you ever want to take really clean macro photography shots of your tank the curve causes just...

Wow! Very Cool! Ditto on the jealous!! Glad you had a great trip.

Hmm...Yeah, I sure wouldn't want it to start munching my coral! It's going to be a major trick though with a large piece of coral being stuck to that rock. Rats!

Well, I was watching my tank last night and I saw something flash from a crack in my LR. Got a flashlight out and shined it into the recesses of the rock and caught a glimpse of 5 antennae. I spent the next hour observing the creature with a red lens on my flashlight, actually saw its posterior...

Thanks for nice comments Lyn and mray2660!

Jimmy, I've been playing keyboards since I was a young lad. My musical style is somewhere between Keith Jarrett and world music with some classical thrown in for fun. I just sequence my own music for kicks. With my current setup I'm using a Duo - Quad Core Mac Pro with 10GB of RAM running...

Jimmy, Wow! I wish I had those kinds of DIY skills! Very nice, very clean! Noticed the mixer behind the ATB, your other hobby? Mine as well.

You can count me in as well. When do you think you will start this process, and what kind of time frame are you looking at to getting this all into the system?
