I started with a 150w then switched over the one similar to melev's to save money. I subsequently switched back to my 150w because I saw more reddish-slimy algea growing under the melev lights. Then I started to see these slimy algae in the DT and the Frag tank. So I switch back to MH...

Place the ice cube in a glass, stir in vodka and vermouth; then swirl the glass near the nem. To really entice a stubborn nem, serve it in your speedos (Europeon style) and crank up Barry White. :bigsmile:

i had success in removing the rock/nem from the water and immediately turning the rock upside down over a bucket. The nem was about 14" and it has not retracted when I pulled him out. Dunno if small ones would be different. PS - my nem is RBTA.

How detrimental would it be to run a return at 1" from the pump, reduced to 1/2" (at the bulkhead) and then converted to 3/4" for the Sea-Swirl? I'm looking at around 600 gpm. I'm thinking of using one of the holes in the AGA overflow as the return. Currently, I have a 1" return line that...

Eheim 1262 is what I would recommend if you can afford it. I bought a used one and it's a dependable workhorse. PS - Elliot's selling one - http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1844427

Thanks John.

bump - Anyone using Waterweld?

My local HomeDepot is phasing out Aquamend (which I've been using) and replacing it with WaterWeld. Is WaterWeld reef safe? Waterweld image from Amazon or Aquamend image from Polymeric

Well, since you asked, I can use a bucket of Seachem Reef. If not, I'll just drive down.

I'm currently battling RTN for about a month now. I've been reading up on it and I've read it could be some kind of bacteria. I increased the feeding of my tank starting late January because my clowns were spawning. I'm thinking that may have stressed the corals and made them susceptible...

I would just write the gallon marks on the middle of the tank.

Sorry to hear. Was the fire anemone affected?

Well, I for one can use more tax. Post-its don't stick as well and I have to buy the pricier magnets if I want the papers to stick.

Did you forget to dose caffeine?:) This is the first I've heard of it. Maybe you can trap him.

I have some frags mounted on plugs similar to the picture below. It wobbles and tips and touches other frags in my eggcrate. Is there a trick on keeping these plugs steady? I would prefer not to cement them down.

This is funny.

I wished I could have made it. Thank you Brian for sharing the pics. I also didn't know that Gollum resided in the Bay Area.

Assuming you've fed the tang nori before. You can leave the trap, and let him eat. Then don't feed him for a day or two. Re-install the trap.

Hey Jeff. Sorry about your set backs. Let me know if you need anything for your nano.

I bought one of these from Reed Mariculture. The Rotifer Diet looks just like phytofeast. Phytofeast cost about $15. Rotifeast cost about $20. The rotifer kit cost $30 + $10 shipping and you get more rotis. Here's a how-to link (one of many)...
