Thanks, I believe it is the snail webs. I have a few of those on my LR but I have never seen them actually lose it. Oh well I didn't think it was hair algea but better to find out sooner than later. Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the pic, it's the best I could get. I've had red and green hair algae before but this is something I haven't seen. This tank is new just took LR out of the old one added some base rock to it and new sand. These are white and if it's hair algae I know the what a pain it is to get rid...

I may be interested in buying it as is. PM me with a price, I can come pick it up.

I just got a new 90 gal and would like some suggestions on lighting. I'm really leaning towards VHO but have heard great things about T-5. My question is this, which is best for light output? I've read that T-5's actually put out more light than VHO I'm just not sure I believe that. I...

I got mine from Air, Water and Ice and have been very happy with it. Good unit at a fair price. Booker

I got my RO/DI from www.airwaterice.com it's an excellent 75gpd for around $150.00.

the tank is about 3.5 months old. i used a finely crushed coral (not live). it's a 45 gal corner tank and i have an aquaclear 300 hob filter. 1 makijet 1200 power head in the rear facing forward. live stock is 1yellow tail damsel, 1 blue damsel, 1 percula clown, and 1 firefish, and one yellow...

that sounds good, thanks

I have a slimy lime green growth all over my glass and substrate. It seems to die down with the lights off but grows with a vengeance when they're on. From what i've read here i think it's cyano. does this sound right? lime green? i don't have a phosphate test but will be getting one in the...

Fishfreek, thanks. i just didn't want to blow out my new bulbs. thanks for your help brian

fishfreek, i saw that one but it still didn't really explain which pins where which and I really don't wanna blow up my brand new bulbs. lol it looks to me like i would short the top two pins together and the bottom two but i'm not sure. thanks for any help

Can anyone tell me which pins if any need to be shorted together on a square pin base bulb (using a ballast from lowes)? TIA brian

Hi, can anyone recomend a ballast (preferably available @ homedepot, lowes, etc) that will run 2-4 24" vho bulbs. I would like to be able to control the bulbs in pairs but cost is the reason for this question so I may have to settle on all 4 bulbs on one ballast. TIA brian

Thanks for the help, I was pretty sure they weren't black lights but that was the only way i could describe it. The only antic light i know i've seen i was told was a 50/50 mix with 10k, but this tank had a heavy blue cast to everything (water looked blue). the one i want to duplicate didn't...

I am a newbie here, but I just got my 50 gal pent fo set up. Any way I saw an aquarium in a restraunt a few weeks ago and the lights looked like black lights. They had some powder blue tangs and a blue velvet damsel in there and the lights made the edges of the tang and the lines in the damsel...
