Welcome from Missoula! Not sure how many people are from Billings but it seems like someone was on the forum a few months ago from Billings.... Anyway, tell us a little about yourself and your tank.

Hey daugherty:




I do remember that person from Billings but I haven't seen hide nor hair in about 6 months. It looks as tho this is about it for the state of MT, but we are friendly, and we do have a bit of fun. Feel free to join in the "hoopla", and for sure, tell us about what you have.

Hi Daugherty and welcome to ReefLands...I poked through your tank thread, nice job of documentation!...wish I would have done that also. I am having a bit of an algae problem, just started a new thread yesterday (here):

another algae question

I'm just wondering if the UV would help with this algae that I've got going...you mentioned that you noticed clearer water & there is not as much algae growth on the glass. I WOULD pay money for that!

My tank thread (also here):

Lost Creek 270

Have a great one!
