Erik, Wow... You nailed it right on the money! Thanks for solvoing that for me...

I have a colony of hairy mushrooms and noticed two tubes (like what a feather duster lives in) that are on the rock that the mushrooms are on. They open and close as if it were filtering for food. So I finally took a picture once the lights turned on and before the mushrooms expanded covering...

Lighting: 4 x 96 watts pc bulbs 50/50 bulbs (Had a long chat with Edgray about bulbs. Going to change to 2 day light's and 2 actinic after 4-6 months.) Filtration: I have a 30 gallon sump with live rocks and various plants. (I'm planning on putting a sixline in there to control bristles. What...

Thanks Ed... Its been a long journey :mrgreen: I remember you helping me and giving me advice. Actually it was everyone on this site! I want a new digital camera to show off the true colors of these corals. Mine is pretty old. So either more exotic corals or a digital camera ha,ha,ha pretty...

I finally got everything going plumbing, sump, corals etc... Here are the pics...

Wish I had a better digital camer....

Does anyone know wether or not Blastomussa Merletti and acanthastrea lordhowensis can stay under PC bulbs? I have 384 watts 50/50 bulbs that are PC for my 66 gallon tank and the top of the LS to the light is about 2 feet, but my aquascape can get the coral as close as 8-12 inches. Or is it...

Sorry to hear that DJ. Like what TimSchmidt said if it is covered you would most likely have to have receipts! :sad: Atleast that's what my buddy had to go through since he ex-roomate had an extra key and cleaned house on him!

Neddis, How long was your tank cycling for? If the cycling period is safe atleast 4 weeks I'd add a clean up crew and wait a week, test parameters again then add corals, then wait a week then add fish. Simple advice just to be safe :mrgreen:

I'd scrape off what you can and filter it away with a net. Then I'd keep it on for 6 hours day... Once you see the algae fading away then its bring it back up to the normal bours you had keeping a close eye on it. I dpn't know if there is a diffrence between a lawnmower blenny and a algae...

Wow, thats how it looked behind my moon light strip that I left on 24/7. Yeah, just scrape it off and catch everything in a net, then cut back on the lights. I got an algae blenny that helped with my problem too. But that was my scenario which worked for me. Hope this helps...

token ride, Just like how the algae grew it would take the same amount of time to get rid of it. Here 1. Cut back your lighting have it on only when you want to check out the tank. So only 1-3 hours a day. 2. Get alot better flow if the flows there then don't worry, just make sure its...

phm2010, :welcome Yeah, like Tim said read the forum to get an idea. When I started I kind of knew I was going to upgrade so I keep all the boxes for my nano tank. So my nano was my experiement tank to see weather or not I'd succeed... I did so I got a 66 gallon tank now. Again it all...

Get a rio 50... Worked great in my four gallon tank... Again I forgot what gallon size was your tank. For the lighiting slowly increase it, if you see gowth beginning cut it down but other wise just watch the tank. :mrgreen:

Sorry to be so slow in replies... Yeah, "All about fish" is pricey, I haven't been to the concord aquarium? I just left Napa today and wished I saw your post before hand. I would have had something to do during lunch! For frags, I have colonies that I put up in craigslist.com But I'm willing...

aquemeni5110, Nice job... I noticed your location and your only 1 hour and fifteen mintues away from me. I'm in Santa Rosa. Are there any good places for coral in fairfield? The only thing I saw there was a petco and that was near the nuttree. Anyways if your looking for frags or anything...

Occupation: Pharma Rep Age: 28 Here's the quickest way to get a pick up which was a joke for my buddies "MYSPACE"... Thanks for everyone who helped me with all my questions. :mrgreen:

bobajum, I'm about 99.9% know that they aren't bad. I have them in my 20 long and no problems and thats an establish tank. I forgot until I was looking at my 20L and notice them on the glass ha,ha,ha I guess I was very concerned since I'm getting my 66 going and just wanted to be extra...
