Cool! Thanks. Yeah, I found it as a hitchhhiker on my lr. I am glad to hear that it is most likely not something I will have to remove/kill. I get so excited to think that I have something new growing in my tank. I am pretty new to sw and the coolest thing about it is finding all the...

Anyone know what this is? I have attached a pretty good photo of it. Since it is such a small specimen it was hard to get a great photo. It is about 1/16" in diameter. 8O From what I have read and seen this does not look like Aiptasia sp. What do you think? Thanks, Dudah

t-byrd - when you come up with an idea I would be interested in hearing what you do for the lighting. I will let you know if I come up with anything cool too! Thanks, Dudah

Minh: thanks, I have heard from others that they don't like them either. I may stick with my current reflector and hood for this light. So far I have not been able to find a satisfactory replacement.

Enzo: thanks for the info. I am leaning more towards getting a second light as reefann has suggested. I am trying to get a MH light that I have retrofitted to work as a pendant. It is pretty high wattage for a tank this size and I hear that the heat they generate might be too much for a...

Thanks! I will check them out. Dudah

Thanks for the info! What would you recommend in terms of watts/gallon for keeping clams? Also I have been testing my water and so far it seems to be pretty good. I have noticed that a lot of water evaporates from my tank. I guess it is because of the low relative humidity in my house. I...

I am not sure about #3 but I think I can help with #1 It is a small relative of the Stomatella snail, otherwise known as Abalone, Limpet or Horse-ear. At least that is what it sounds like. I have recently seen these in my tank also from hitch hiker on lr. They are nocturnal herbivores that...

I have a metal halide light that has a large (about 2' X 3') hood enclosure. It is used as a light for growing plants. It will, however, take bulbs designed for reef aquariums. My question is this: Does anyone know of somewhere I can buy just the pendant part of a lamp? I already have the...

I have recently started a new 10 gal reef tank (see specs below). I used ls, lr, and water from an existing tank to start this tank. I am relatively new to reef tanks and have a few questions: Is the 28w compact combo enough light to keep some clams and other light-needing corals...
