Awesome CORALINE ALGAE BLOOMS!!!! Almost every lava rock I had in there has putple and pink spots on them. On one rock alone, I counted 20... My Colt Coral has doubled in size and health. Green Star polyps are spreading and turning a brighter florescent green.. Its awesome what 2 96w PC's...

I had a similar problem before I started putting 100 micron "filter material" over my bio ball inlet (drip tray), and I replace it every day with a clean one. I've used the same $20 sheet (Cut perfect into about 12 rectangular pieces for my drip tray) As soon as I run out, I take all the dirty...

Are any of them harmfull to the Reef? I wish I could take a picture, but I don't have a microscope.. Any Reefers here in San Diego? Email me!!!

That FAQ is awesome - thanks... I've already read that, and the "critters" aren't in the list (from what I can tell) Any ideas on the coral banded worm or the slugs? Thanks again!!

Still seems like too many fish - I don't care how much filtration - what about personal space!! Nice "Yuppie" Tank...

Cool!! Here's the thing.. critters can get IN the refugium, but cannot get out (Except through the pump).. is that how its supposed to be? Any ideas on the critters?

I'm confused... I was told by my LFS that the caulerpa algae they sell isn't the same mediterranean "Killer Algae" they banned... Here is what is illegal: close-up of the leaves: I don't remember what the stuff I used to feed it to my tangs looked like, but I think it was different.. I...

When I first got my GSP's they were closed for almost a WEEK!! Then, finally, one or two opened..then three , four, 10, 20..... During that initial week, the purple started flaking off, and it looked dead also. Now, I just added 2x96W PC's and WOW!!! there are already 5 "Baby" GSP's and new...

It seems like most of you have "Refugiums" set up in the sump with a light that turns on when the tank is off. Well... I added 2 96w Power Compact lights to the main tank, and put two regular plant and aquarium bulbs over the sump/refugium. What are these critters that are growing!!! #1 is a...

Here is a picture of the tank... Obviously, I need more live rock...

I just noticed one of the peppermint shrimp is carrying eggs!!

I just added (2) 96w 36" Compact Florescents - One is Blue and the other is 10,000k I cannot believe the difference.. its like night and day. I can see things I used to have to squint. I can't wait to see how much faster things grow!!! I got frustrated replacing the regular florescents... I...

Just added a Purple Lobster, and a cleaner shrimp.

I just noticed that the live sand really was seeded!!! There are a LOT of microscopic reddish-brown worms, extremely small fan shaped clear things attached to the glass, and the sand is starting to develop "Micro-Tunnels" from the little things. Its really cool seeing everything starting to...
