    Sea Hare for Algae control

    Wow! That thing is amazing! What was it sold to you as? Generic sea hare? Unknown?

    A few "before" and "during" pics....

    Looks really nice dan! Is that a virgatus or a doliatus? Does it nip at any lps? Sps? Softies? Thinking of getting a doliatus to help control some pest algae. Just worried that it might like my lps!

    Sticking with my 70 or switching to my 55?

    Yep, you definitely have a lot of of uniformly sized large rocks. Have at one and see how it goes. If you don't like how it's turning out, the other option might be to trade your larger ones to someone who has too many smaller rock chunks. If you have other local reefers who would trade that is...

    Sticking with my 70 or switching to my 55?

    While I've never done it, people break up live rock with hammers and chisels and what not all the time. If you've got to many big pieces, I'd definitely consider it. What do you have on each end? koralia 4's? I'd think one or two extra koralia 2 or 3's in the center area might be what you need...

    Sticking with my 70 or switching to my 55?

    Well, with a tank that length it is going to be more difficult to get good flow throughout. You might have to add a powerhead or two in the center area. Aquascaping a regular sized 55 wouldn't be much easier in my opinion, due to the fact that it's the same depth as your current setup. If you...

    BCT182's Cube

    Looks like Pavona Maldivensis, or something very similar. Interesting how it's plating. Any closer fts?

    Reverse Osmosis Water vs. Tap Water

    The biggest concern with RO water at grocery store dispensers is possible lack of quality control. I've heard a lot of stories about the bad quality water coming out of some of those things due to the fact that some locations don't keep up on filter changes etc. I'd want to check and make sure...

    Blue Tip acropora color fading! help

    Sps are sensitive to any changes in water chemistry. How long have you had them? They will also lose color from the stress involved in transport, or changing from one environment to another. If these are recent additions, then the color fade is likely due to the change. Are you testing for your...

    Enlarging

    Digital images can not be upscaled in resolution and size without being either pixelated, or very blurry. Just not possible.

    Sand has turned to cement!

    I've also had this happen to me. I drip clear kalkwasser via peristaltic pump. Had problems with precipitation on impeller shafts and pumps seizing up etc. No calcium reactor, two part diy once a day. Some statements over at rc mentioned that it was a given with kalk, but I don't know why. I...

    Dictyota Algae

    The more light part is going to be a problem for poeple like me with a 250w mh over a 40br. Also, it seem to grow in very high flow areas the best. Certainly wouldn't hurt to try that if ones tank already has it, but I have my doubts about being able to easily provide an environment that will...

    Dictyota Algae

    Glad to hear yours are eating the stuff. Mine tried it and after that didn't seem to want to touch it. Out of curiousity, where did you purchase your dolabellas? Cute little critters though.

    Dictyota Algae

    Have you had any success eliminating your dictyota problem? This algae is the new plague. I have personally seen it in local LFS's, online retailer pictures, and on coral frags I purchased online and locally. I am amazed but not suprized at it's ubiquitousness. I have an outbreak myself, that...
