oh i have no experience with these but i heard some aquarists use the lawmower blenny like you are thinking about , or emerald crabs. Another more interesting selection would be a sea hare - but they will die once finished eating. Sometimes aquarists will lend one among all the tanks.

I agree with RWC...the tank looks new. The algae appears to be is congregated on low flow areas underneath the flow of your powerheads. It also doesn't appear to by dyno or the dreaded bryopsis. It just looks like regular hair algae which is very common in this hobby. What is your PH and Alk...

old article but suggests raising PH via kalkwasser and siphoning out what you can. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-11/rhf/index.php

video doesn't work for me mark...get an error. I use mozilla and windows 7

anyways it was a lot to take in. I enjoyed my time in FL and as I recall I ran into dnov down there...lol. A few of the other members went to the macna prior to NJ - which was at the Atlanta George Aquarium. I think Ed might have been there. if you have an interest in the hobby - and want to...

cube tanks were popular: Acans were very popular: Scolys still popular: This tank had helfrichis and filefish and scolys! 3 tiered tank - i think this was LiveAquaria - i could be mistaken. more fish Circular tanks: ORA I think this was ORA ORA tank raised dragonets -...

dug these up...taken in Orlando FL. All i have to say is - i have a greater appreciation for setting up a marketing display sign like this...HAHA There are a lot more dry goods vendors showing off the latest...remember this was 4 years ago - so the equipment has changed a lot. Tunze was...

either cyano or diatoms. Neither is harmful per se- just unsightly. Siphon out is fine. Could be the amount of food you are feeding the tank is greater than the tanks ability to get rid of it (skimmer, water changes).

i agree with paul - change out the filters and i bet your tds will drop to zero. Right now the membrane is probably doing the heavy lifting and it should be your last resort. if you make water now you will reduce the lifespan of the membrane (the most expensive component ofyour filter).

hmm i was going to link my orlando pics but i can't find the thread. I recall we lost a lot of threads during a switch...oh well. Guess i have to repost them....(the avatar i have is my daughter at Seaworld during that macna weekend).

we may go...haven't decided yet. $124 a night for the hotel. when i pre-registerd for the macna in orlando, they gave me a tour of the reef exhibit in sea world which was initially boring as hell but the walk thru was a lot of fun.

hence why scarlett hermits are sometimes preferred (and more pricey)- supposedly they are less aggressive vs the other types.

Pre Macna I was a hobbyist who had read a ton of books and had a lot of experience in FW and limited in saltwater. Post Macna - i gained enough insight and confidence to breed rotifers, start a baby brine culture and stay up late at night catching clownfish fry. LOL. Rod Buehler of Rod's Reef...

mini serpent stars. not the asterina ones. The ones you get in good quality live rock and multiply like crazy in a mature tank.

welcome. please let us (moderators) know if you want to post up some contact info that you want us to sticky on this forum. Or I guess you create a new thread and pm us to sticky it. welcome again.

Didn't know that - and uh..you should mention that before the pic. LOL.

Unfortunately not. The lens provides a very nice Depth of Focus, so the object in focus is clearly there, but the background is blurred. Therefore with a fixed 50mm, i can't really do large background pics unless i piece them together using photoshop into a panorama. This is why i was nervous...

LOL - well my tank is pretty bare - so right now it is just the 2 from Dr. Mac.

ok i'm done for now...if i find more i'll upload. Apologies again for not being around more Saturday - i would have taken pics of speakers and more booths.

Taken friday night They thought they had to get out of the way and I told them I wanted the action photo...hence this grin:
