Thanks again - I can see I'll be following this thread closely. You are a wealth of great info.

Skimmer is in the mail - it will replace the bio balls a.s.a.p. lights are off for the next month while I deal with my little hydroid issue.

Been reading about it all day and Im pretty certain that I dont want these in my tank given that they DO sting and I can find page after page of horror stories where peoples tanks become "infested" with these things as they multply quickly. There are already about 10 of these things popping out of their holes and the LR has only been there for 2 days. Taking a slice of rock back to he LFS tonight to confirm the ID and if they agree on the ID offered to replace all the rock from a different cure tank. This type of hydroid is allegedly difficult to deal with/remove.

Cheers and thanks again
