Lucky! I had peppermints and they wouldn't touch the stuff LOL

Good Luck going forward!

Thank you! I learn something new about salt water every week it seems and it's exciting watching new life appear and grow in the tank. : )
I am behind my original target time frame for fish but I also don't want to want to jump the gun and make a very sad/expensive mistake.

I found a cheaper light that works better for my refugium! I put this light in and the algae grew faster in a few days then it did in weeks of having an LED light. I bought a grow light with a clamp from the hardware store and put an R40 bulb in it. All together this setup costs about $20.
