i've uploaded a photo of the slugs on corals if anyone knows what they are?

Good or bad? They're multiplying rapidly but dont seem to hurt anything...

Edit: I have uploaded a photo of the slugs on a coral covered in aiptasia - they seem to be ignoring the aiptasia? Any diea what kind of slugs they are and if they're bad? Sorry for the double picture post. I am finally starting to give my tank the attention it needs after months of not having...

I actually gave up with the AquaC. The micro bubbles never went away after purchasing the big ugly preksimmer box, and many many many other attempts. I have now been skimmerless for six weeks. So far so good....

Any other advice on this topic? If I MUST dish out the money for a metal halide system, I'll do it. I just want to know if this amount of light is enough to make things grow and stay healthy.

I currently have two of the 4 x 65w CurrentUSA fixtures over my tank, which equates to 520watts total. My question is, is this enough lighting for two clams, some SPS, and soft corals? Do i HAVE to get a metal halide? Do the actinics in this fixture count? Thanks!

I too couldn't find a proper metal halide lighting system for my 72 bow. I did not want to hang something from the ceiling and I need to have my glass cover on to prevent evaporation (I don't have much time to top it off). What I ended up doing was getting a Current USA Orbit 4 x 65w +...

Within the past month my Remora + MJ1200 started shooting out micro bubbles. Before it started I had no problems (although the tank is only 4 months old). I've tried everything to make them stop including: 1. Buying that stupid gigantic $30 acrylic "preskimmer and micro bubble eliminator" box...

Sounds good...my main concern on the sump now that i have done more research is making it absolutely 100% foolproof in terms of preventing overflow in the event of a power outage. From an article i read, http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/overflow.htm I understand that the likelihood of overflow...

Ok I've got my 72g set up with the info listed in my profile. To recap I currently have: 1. CurrentUSA 4 x 65w Orbit lighting 2. AquaC Remora w/ MaxiJet 1200 3. 4 MaxiJet 1200's, 300W heater 4. 90lb Fiji LR, 90lb LS 5. now 4 chromis, 1 died after a worm stuck to him from the rock and 1 died...
