What combination of Giesemann bulbs for Tek 36"6x39 T5 HO

[charlie]

Not real sure of what I am looking for there Steve??? Give me a location. It is probably just a filter feeder, nothing bad anyways.

You are going to find that we are pic hungry here, the more the merrier, and they always bring up some good discussion.

The fact is, I am old, and I hate typing all the time, I am reverting back to my childhood where I always looked at the pics in a book before trying to read.

[Steve McKay]

Yes I suppose your right.One odd thing when I transferred my old LR and put my turbo snails in,a few minutes later several turbo snails were covered with bristle stars.They were not attacking them,I didn't know what was going on.

[Steve McKay]

Did you click on the photo if you did it's dead center under the rock.

[Steve McKay]

It is a filter feeder,you can see its crown,and I'm pretty sure it's safe.

[charlie]

I think I see what you are looking at, is it in the hole or just above it?

I had the same thing happen when I transferred some chaeto into my 75 gal.. refugium when I started it back up on the 300.

[Steve McKay]

No,it's below the hole just to the right.

[Steve McKay]

The crown is just slightly bigger than the hole.

[charlie]

OK, I get it!!!!!!

Have you got a build thread going on in the Reef Aquariums forum?

[Steve McKay]

Don't know what that is.

[charlie]

Don't know what that is.

Have you started a thread about your tank and the process you went through to get it up and running, something like this:

My 80 Gallon Reef

[Steve McKay]

No,just photos in my albums and member galleries

[charlie]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the pic of the sun coral feeding!!!!! Kinda felt like that yesterday myself. And the watchman.

[Steve McKay]

Thanks,I like the Sun Coral a lot.Might get a black one.How do lps and sps get along,that's something I need to research.

[charlie]

I have them coexisting in my tank. The thing you have to remember about LPS, is that they have this nasty tendency to throw out these sweeper tentacles that are really nasty. I try to give them about 6" of space, but when things start to grow, that space disappears................quickly. There is always warfare going on in a system, believe it or not. Our job is to try and minimize the amount, but over time it is sometimes impossible to do, stuff just grows into one another!!!

[Steve McKay]

Here is a stupid question,say you post and your waiting for a reply it won't update while your there do you have to back out every time and come back to the thread?

[Steve McKay]

With only a 50 I'll have to be selective.

Basically......yes. I just hit the refresh, or open up a new window. After a while you look up and you have 4000 windows open and you can never remember the last one you were at!!!!! It just adds to the fun and enjoyment.

Yes, but there are ways that you can "isolate the bad guys", and still have them coexist.

[Steve McKay]

And I thought it was me,good it would be nice to have a Acan too.I do know their aggressive though if I remember correctly.

[Steve McKay]

I'll arm the sps's with heavy weapons.
