i try not to frag unless something grows into something else or i need to thin it out a bit but that thing is a monster i can always cut ya a decent peice.... i really really want a blueberry seafan but cant find any and the red or yellow finger gorgonian as well. living aquariums used to have a bunch of them but he stopped bringing them in cuz they allways sat around

well still doing the impossible so far am at 13.5 weeks without a water change in the reef tank sps, zoos and gorgs are all loving it. only thing that is slightly creeping up is phosphates so will add a little phosban with my carbon when i change the reactor media but other than that everything is great gha is pretty well non existant anymore except a couple snail shells that are like mobile shag carpets and a couple small peices of lr i recently added

Gotta love the algae scrubber my nitrates never raise above just detectable levels

I just ordered this
http://www.expressions-ltd.com/Algae_Scrubber_LED_Light_p/led-grow-light.htm

And will try it out. All the reading I have done suggests that it performs better than a refugium. Lol...added to the list and will be part of my fish room design.

I found the $6 cfl grow lights from home depot work the best for macro or any old t5 or t8 bulb the older the more off spectrum and better for algae people always throw them away so are easy to get

well im thinking i need to add some photos of my zoos i added a bunch of pics of my sps mostly at end of march but have a couple new ones and want the next set to be end of june so will get some closeups of zoos for now....

by the way my utter chaos and pineapple express are growing rapidly so anyone that has a few higher end zoos to trade make an offer i need to trim them very soon if no offers then ill put up for sale but i like trading more just be patient i hate taking tons of photos lol
