My purple tang pecks at the glass sometimes, especially if there is green algae. I'm not too sure if it's algae or pods it's eating.

DK, You might be interested to look here.

I read before that Hamilton 10000K bulbs are actually manufactured by Ushio/BLV.

I tried both ushio and bluelines. I prefer Ushio.

I just got a new Salifert Nitrate Testkit but the instructions are in German. Any idea where I can the instructions in English? I haven't been using Salifert nitrate test for such a long time that I can't remember how to do the test anymore. :?

Wade, The ingredient is CuSO4, not CuS. It has Cobalt, Iron and Manganese too. Any idea what all these metals are for? Anti-parasitic? The link to the Spectrum website is http://www.nlpublish.com/ I've been using it for about 2 weeks and I do not notice a change in my fish colour. :roll:

I have the same fish food too! I only saw the copper sulphate last week. The corals and inverts seem fine to me, but I always run carbon or poly pads.

Premium Aquatics (Drygoods) Jason is a real nice chap. Most of my emails get a reply in less than a working day except for once. It's been a month since I placed my order and I am still waiting for my goods. :roll: No idea why. No reply either. They just asked for address verification. Jason...

I'm too sure if this will work, but if you need a lower flow rate, why not run your doser on a timer so it doesn't flow 24/7?

Squeezix, Since no one replied, I'll just give a shot. The genus Wellsophyllia has been eliminated. I think what you are referring to is a Trachyphyllia radiata. You should try to remove the algae without hurting the coral tissue. Sort of pull them off, not scrub. Feeding helps if it is willing...

Are you referring to the good'ol yeast bomb? :D

I'm using Seachem additives such as Reef Buffer and Reef Builder for my marine tank. I wouldn't hesitate to use their freshwater range if I have a planted tank, but it's your tank, so it's your call. I have limited experience with FW, perhaps you could try the http://www.aquaticrealm.com...

Thanx Chucker! :D

I found this under my fire coral. What's this? It's about 1.5-2 mm long.

Salifert, Are you the chief chemist there? I like Salifert test kits! 8) I'm sure you know that C5H403N4 a.k.a Saltcritter is nutz! :wink: By the way, the '0' in C5H403N4 is the number zero, not the letter 'O' for oxygen. That 5 carbon molecule has 403 hydrogen atoms!!! :lol:
