    Jabao pumps

    I think that I was one of the first to get a Jebao wp-40 back in February. It has run great and quiet. Yesterday it quit working. I cleaned it and still nothing. Impeller looks good. I emailed the company and they said they would replace it. So I'm happy and will probably buy a second one.

    Orange coraline Algae?

    Thanks Bricky and Chichas01. I've been reading articles on lobophora algae and tend to agree that is probably the identity. Mine is just oranger than any I see pictured. Now the question is, is it bad or good. I found one online site that sells it for $10. fish don't seem to eat it yet...

    Orange coraline Algae?

    I think it showed up a couple months ago and it does have red edges in places.

    Marks on my crocea clam

    Sure looks like normal pigmentation to me. Your clams look very healthy.

    Pulsating clams

    I have 2 derasas and 1 squamossa and I can't say that I have ever seen them pulsate. They do slam shut when ever I accidentally drop food on them or if a fish gets too close.

    Inflated Acan??

    I agree, they look very healthy. And that clam in the background is beautiful!

    Beautiful Astrenia :)

    That star fish by the dime only has 4 legs. Most that I've seen have had 5 or more. Could that be an indication of a bad star fish.

    Orange coraline Algae?

    It does set off the green corals that I have but it makes the orange monti and digitata blend in.

    Chaeto vs red gracilaria opinions please

    I have tried both and the chaeto definitely won. I use a daylight bulb from the hardware store that runs 24/7.

    Orange coraline Algae?

    It's not very visible under actinic light. It seems to be growing best directly under my 400w 20k lights.

    Orange coraline Algae?

    I recently took my 72gal bow front reef tank down and moved everything to a 180gal with 20gal refuge and 40gal sump. A few new pumps but mostly the same stuff. My rocks have very little pink and purple coralline algae but there is a lot of bright orange. It looks like coralline algae but I've...
