well then...that's what it is. as for the flower-like things i found. i've found a couple more, and they do suck in when i get near the tank and such, so i'm guessing they are feather dusters. this one peice of LR has given me so many hitchhikers...but nothing bad yet! thanks for all the...

thanks for the help. after looking at this hitch hiker FAQ it raises one more question.... ...can coralline algae grow on sand? i thought it was just coralline algae, but now i'm wondering if it's cyanobacteria instead. i'm sorry for the lack of photos. i'll try and grab my friends digital...

okay. so my basic idea is to have a 5 gallon bucket i keep filled with tap water. have the ro/di filter hooked to a pump that pumps water from the 5 gallon bucket into the sump. do they make a switch that will power a pump when the water gets below a certain depth? i've read up on a few...
