    Metal halide grow light

    I wouldn't buy a ballast not intended for reef keeping personally. I've seen others use them with poor results. FYI: BCT182 is selling a PFO HQI 400W Ballast for $100. Not sure if it comes with the bulb or not. That is a HECK of a DEAL!!! Mike and I will be at the Bob Moore frag swap, so we...

    Predictions? I like it!

    Hmm, that didn't make a lot of sense to me. I must be one of those in the fog that just don't "get it" lol. I like the music though. It did make me wonder what the author believes in. So I looked it up. Here's their web site http://sedonajournal.com/index.html and here's the belief system...

    My dog sticks to pinecones, socks, underwear and kitty doo, eww. How did your dog get a snail? I assume the snail didn't jump out, lol.

    Purple Up and Green Slime Algae!?

    From what I read, copepods eat diatoms, bacteria, algae and plankton. I know amphipods will eat prepared food, but the pipefish won't eat the amphipods. There will be food in the system as we feed the corals though.

    Purple Up and Green Slime Algae!?

    We don't buy flake food, but we do feed our corals cyclopeeze, rodifers and prawn eggs.

    Purple Up and Green Slime Algae!?

    Yeah, we recently rehomed a foxface that killed one of our acans and two chalices. The first foxface we had and sold to Stephen didn't nip at anything. I guess it just depends on the fish. We're going to be really careful about what goes in the 90. We've dealt with a bubble algae, grape...

    Purple Up and Green Slime Algae!?

    No we don't dose Phyto. The only thing that has been dosed was the purple up, but Mike's not using it anymore. The 90 is going to replace the 40breeder we have up and running. It will be another display. So we'll have the sps 300gal display, a mxied reef 90 gal display and a 40breeder...

    Nope, same as all our aquariums 9 hrs for supplemental (VHO) and 8 hours of halide.

    Purple Up and Green Slime Algae!?

    Yeah, the tank is new, but the rock was cured for 3-4 months in another aquarium of ours before we added it to this tank, so the rock was cycled past the nitrite and nitrate stages. Mike added a refugium with chaeto from another system and the tank appeared to clear up over night from what he...

    My pregnancy and ultrasound

    I do have the bigger nose though, lol and Mike says I have dumbo ears. He used to call me elf girl. He called my little sister elf girl too and she is now really insecure about her ears, poor thing. :rolleyes: I have the dominate eye color.

    My pregnancy and ultrasound

    I hope this one looks like me! Our other daughter is a mini Mike :) I want at least one child with my hair color. I don't know about "glowing". I've never quite understood that phrase, but I down Tums like they're skittles, can't sleep through the night and have thrown up while trying to brush...

    Purple Up and Green Slime Algae!?

    Nope, I'm running 2x 250W HQI Ballasts with XM 20K bulbs and two VHOs. The bulbs were ran for approx. 1 month before being used on this aquarium. It must be something in this purple up stuff that caused the green film algae.

    Purple Up and Green Slime Algae!?

    Well here's the info for purple up from Dr Fosters website: Directions: Shake well before use. Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 50 gallons no more than once daily. Place in the sump, near a powerhead outlet, or any high flow area of the system for rapid dispersal. Purple Up will cause some temporary...
