    what will eat my green hair algae and red slime??????

    I had a small GHA problem recently. I would remove the algae with my fingers and it would always grow back in the same spots. I installed a 4 gallon fuge (on a 55g tank) with a chaeto ball and the algae no longer grows. My lettuce slug has taken care off all the leftovers. My excess nutrients...

    Refugium idea. Advice and constructive criticism wanted.

    The refugium portion of the sump will be at the very least 6 gallons, but I want to make it as large as I can. My display tank is 55gal, how large of a fuge would you recommend? Also, I thought it was beneficial to have rock in the sump, but it seems that I am wrong about this. I am not doing...

    ?? about Chaeto growing in display.

    I did the cut and scrape today on lunch. I was also due for a water change so I took the rock out of the tank and put it in the bucket with the old saltwater. took the rock out of the bucket, cut the chaeto off, carved out two small divets where the roots were w/razor blade, lightly rinsed with...

    Refugium idea. Advice and constructive criticism wanted.

    I want to have a place pods to thrive so I can keep a constant supply of food for a mandarin. It was my understanding that substrate and rock are neccessary for pods to live. As for the seachem bag I am going to move that over to the skimmer side of the setup.

    Ok, thanks for the advice, again. I will cut, scrape, and clean and see what happens. Also, I already have a florescent shop light above my sump just so I can see, so I will just leave it on. I'll make a square box outta that plastic square stuff that we all use, and just drop it in the sump...

    Refugium idea. Advice and constructive criticism wanted.

    These are my plans for a refugium to replace my current wet/dry bioball setup. My goals for this refugium are: - remove nitrates w/ chaeto in fuge - have a place for pods to thrive so my future mandarin can be fat+happy - keep my PH more stable - increase water capacity of system - create a...

    ?? about Chaeto growing in display.

    Well, it's not a huge piece of rock, but far too big to fit into my sump. I would rather chip a few square inches off my rock than have chaeto take over my tank. If I don't find a way to stop the chaeto from growing on the rock, it will get the hammer tomorrow night.

    ?? about Chaeto growing in display.

    Thanks for the info. The problem is that it is growing on a large display rock that is also home to some Green star polyps. Is there a way I could cut the chaeto off and kill the root it is growing from in the rock? Or, I could take the rock out and crack off the chunck that the chaeto is...

    ?? about Chaeto growing in display.

    Hello, new guy here. I found out about this website while watching one of Anthony Calfo's seminars on reefvideos.com. Anyway, I have what appears to be Chaetomorpha growing off a rock in my display tank. I will post a picture later for a positive ID. Is it ok to have it growing there? Will it...
