I bought a light from steve76s and received exactly what I was hoping for. I would recommend him to future buyers :) The light was well packaged and shipped fast. There was good communication and he provided tracking numbers. Thanks steve76s!

Update.. took a lot of stuff out. I'm trying to control an outbreak of bba. I heard that you should increase co2 and dose with Flourish. Anyone have any experience with bba/know how to get rid of it?

You can get eggcrate at home depot in the lighting section :)

Thanks fhj. Yeah, I wanted to leave some holes for some corals to grow out of. Just not sure what to put in them yet. Maybe a bubble or trumpet. I think I'm done buying sps for now. Think I'll just let the ones I have grow. Djbacon, a few post back it shows how I anchored the rocks. I used thin...

thanks for the replies. i'm glad to finally know what it is and that it will do no harm to my tank. :)

not sure what this is but it hitched a ride on my live rock. It looks to be some sort of filter feeder. It hasn't moved for about 2 weeks, not sure if it can. It wrinkles up an kinda looks like a dried prune. When it is feeding it swells up and the two mouths are open.. here are some pics.

Upgrade - new light

Thanks for your comments. One problem that came up was the change in level of my rocks. Some of the rocks that were covered with coralline were moved higher and closer to the mh lights. Well, the coralline turned white.. :( Hopefully they will start coloring up again.

New rockscape with frag rack I really didn't like how my rocks were layed out and I noticed some dead spots where there was no flow. So I decided to redo my rockscape. Here is a pic of how my rocks were layed out. Here is the eggcrate I used to anchor the rocks. I also used...

newest pic was the one from 5/29. yeah the seachem ammonia detector was on my first aquapod tank.. i have since upgraded to the solana tank. i'm going to redo the rockscape and plan to post some pics soon. thanks for the comments. wes

Thanks. The mesh holes are a little bigger than the eggcrate. To make them smaller I doubled up on the mesh top. You can kinda see it in the above pic where I am rolling in the cord.

Thanks Icstorc. Yeah, I had eggcrate but liked the look of the screen better. As for lighting, you are right. It does allow more light in. Here is a pic of the eggcrate top (notice a lot of light reflected toward the wall) And a pic of the netting top

I stumbled across a thread on reefcentral about a diy screen top. I liked how the screen top looks better than the eggcrate. The materials Columbia diy screen kit - 10.38 Spline Roller - 3.45 Extra connectors - 2.57 Bird Block Netting - 9.97 All materials can be found at home depot...

Well it has been a while since I posted some pics. My tank is doing well. Here are some new addition and updates. Purple tip Acro doing well Monti is doing well (some new growth) Hammer Coral is getting bigger Garf Bonsai with some new growth at the base Some new...

I have noticed about 10 of these things on some live rock I just added to the tank. It looks like a white string. It twitches in the water getting longer and shorter. Is it okay to leave in the tank or should I remove them with tweezers? Do they sting? (white stringy thing in the middle)

I bought a chalice coral that was receding from its edge. I paid only 10 dollars for it and it was my first piece. It has been doing really good and has a lot more color and tissue on it. I read that it won't grow out if there is algae on it. Well the parts that receded have coraline algae on...
