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...

That's true, I can always use the Emperor on my QT tank. Hmm here's a stupid question I have...what about an air bubbler and pump? Do saltwater tanks require these like the freshwater tanks, or does my skimmer take care of adding oxygen to the water?

Wow...very helpful so far!! I will probably just get live rock then instead of base rock to start with. Also, should i just take the biowheel out of the Emperor and let it filter? I don't want to get rid of it, only because I spent money on it and it now has sentinmental and emotional value to...

My equipment thus far: Tank - 72g bowfront w/ stand Filtration - Emperor 400 biowheel & AquaC Remora w. MJ1200 Heater - some 300W freshwater heater for the time being Sand - CaribSea Aragamax Sugar-Sized Sand 30 lb x 3 = 90lb (not in tank yet) Lighting - basic fluorescent Plans: 1. Buy some...
