90 gallon refugium

What lighting do you have on your fuge? Clams are beautiful!
I think you need a few more mag floats in there.

I have a 6 bulb Tek5 T5 unit, I'm pretty happy with it. Also, I do think I need a few more mag floats.:eek3:

I agree with Charlie.

Sorry, moved to proper place...

[charlie]

have you tried changing the lite?

[DevonM]

Well I've moved the Crocea and the Gold & Purple Teardrop to the display tank. The clams were starting to get covered with hair algae. After lots of encouragement they finally let go. I still have one more Teardrop to move. The hair algae growth has started to explode due to the extra sunlight the fuge is getting through the window. I had hoped to primarily grow chaeto but it looks they are both growing like a weed. I've lowered my photo period and also picked up a starry blenny to help with the hair algae, he is cool!

[DevonM]

Wow, it's sad... I'm having a hard time staying up late enough to get a new shot of my fuge while it's lit up... Hopefully soon!

On another note, it's growing chaeto like a champ, lots of nutrient removal. I have had to contently check the overflow for excess hair algae collecting on the cone. I don't want to flood anything...again.

Hey do you want to sell some chaeto? My sump was really full so I pulled some out and the next thing I knew the chaeto that was left started disappearing and now alls I have is a really small amount that doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I can give you and Cynthia some here soon. I just tossed out a 5 gallon bucket butshould have some more soon.

Here is a video of the Peacock Mantis Shrimp going into the fuge. I'm trying to get the teardrop to move before I let this guy out.

How big is the shrimp?

[DevonM]

How big is the shrimp?

He's about 3 inches long right now, but Jim had one that was around 6 inches in length.
