    Made like a banana and split.......

    The best thing about my rose splitting was the LFS gave me $100 for it!!! Mine had gotten about 18" across and had pretty much divided my 180 in 2. Split More, Split More, Split More................................ Jerry

    Filter or Not?

    I have a 180 bow front and have only a protein skimmer and a refrgium sump, 4 inches of sand and she is clear as a bell and levels are good but you must do water 10% changes weekly. Jerrry

    omg!!! YES YES YES hostage!

    I had 3 clowns in mine and they would never go near my rose. One disappeared and the second one was found floating. The next day the last one was living in the rose and when your hand is in the tank and near the rose she'll bite you LOL. Congrats man. Jerry

    I think it is a good quality unit especially now that I understand lighting better. I have 150 watt bulbs and that should do you fine but use the ceiling hangers and keep the lights between 9-12" above the water

    Algea has me close to getting a gun!!!!

    It is all mainly green algea but it will not go away. It only gets worse when I turn the MH's on. Then I get a red slime algea growth with lots of bubbles. Any pointers? Thanks in advance. All parameters look good except alkilinity is high and PH is a little low at 8.1 Jerry
