    Getting algae off acrylic

    Take a sharp knife and cut them down...about half the thickness out of the box. You can then use a magfloat to move it about the tank...works wonders on cleaning the acrylic and it will work to polish out small scratches over time.

    Monti cap color?

    Still green and healthy, even after a move. Light and current do not appear to have been a factor, even two broken pieces are thriving following the move and situated in different places in the tank.

    Monti cap color?

    I think maybe it was a combination because since moving it up in the tank to a place where it gets more light and more flow it has gone back to a really pretty green with purple edges just as it should be. It has also grown a ton.

    Yellow Watchmen Goby and?

    We have a Bi-color Blenny (purple with yellow tail) and he has "paired up" so to speak with our Kole Tang which is also purple and yellow. We figure it has to have something to do with the "uniform" :-)

    OK I have looked for IC gel at a few stores with no luck. Where do you buy it?

    algae growth :(

    We tried the Kent Mag stuff and it didn't kill the algae...made it change color but it never died off. Also it killed quite a few snails especially the Astreas and I haven't seen our emerald crabs and peppermint shrimp since we used it either so I think it killed them too.

    Monti cap color?

    Thanks for the comments and the offer. After doing more research we are going to try moving it to an area with a bit more flow. I'm sure it's just a matter of tweaking the environment until it is happy with it.

    Monti cap color?

    I have a monti-cap that is supposed to be green with purple tips but it has gone completely purple. It looks healthy and happy other than the color change. Do you think it's getting too much light, not enough light, or something else entirely? :rolleyes: The only other monti I have is an...

    Underwater photos from Hawaii

    Great Pics Those are wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing! Snorkeling and diving is sooo awesome isn't it? I think having a reef tank makes you appreciate it even more.

    Going green

    I thought we all heated our homes with aquarium lighting...but maybe when the temperature dips below 20 and the lights are off we need to resort to other means. :) It's not ghetto though, I know people who live in colder areas of Idaho who do this all winter long. Every little bit helps when...

    my new tank!!!

    That really is a beautiful tank. I saw your other one and it was so pretty with all the amazing colored corals you have. I see what you mean about wondering how you are going to fit it all in. It's fun to watch your progress. Thanks for sharing.

    easiest way to clean acrylic check this out!!!!

    Very cool! I only wish we had one in the house that didn't have a cleaning agent in it [we were trying out the kitchen/bath version, but not in the fish tank]....so a fresh box is on the shopping list.

    lobo and zoanthids?

    Dying Brain I have a green lobo brain that has been doing really well for months now and all of a sudden it looks like it's dying. It seems to be receeding and loosing color. It's been on the bottom of the tank since I got it so nothing has changed in that respect. Anyone have suggestions on...
