I've got the light from that thread running at night over my sump and my macro is healthy and growing but not as fast as I expected. I converted a 29G tank into a sump/fuge--PM me if I can help....

This thread needs an arachnophobe warning! I'm still hyperventilating just from the pictures. Ay ay ay.

I suck the bubble algae up with a turkey baster. It usually works pretty well.

Yep. I had one . . . when the hair algae was gone he started on the coralline. Buh-bye, Mr. Crab.

Thanks so much for the info, Wombat. I don't trust crabs, either . . . but I'm sort of attached to these guys. Glad to know they are safe.

Just checking--what kind of crab?

This is a porcelin crab, I hope? He's got those little "fans" that he feeds himself with. They are honestly reef-safe . . . I hope? I have two of them and they're awfully cute and I'd hate to have to...

I guess my experience is different. I used silicone to put in plexi baffles and it's been running fine for a year. So far, at least! When I was researching setups like mine seemed pretty common.

I'll second jedininja on the 75 gallon. I was going to go with a 55, but the 75 is the same length and offers more depth for aquascaping. You can have a decent number of fish in a 75, but it's not so...

Hee! Looks like I'm in the minority on the PCs. YMMV! Of course, I've only had the PCs so I might not know what I'm missing. That's why 1000 brains on here are better than one . . .

Oh, I'm just giving them away! I guess I should have been clearer. I used them for water and LR transport, and that's it. I'll bring them to the meeting and you can split them, if you like.

Anybody need orange "Homer" buckets?

I had to buy a bunch of them (from Home Depot, with lids) for my tank move and now I have 5 or 6 too many. Does anybody want some? I can bring to the next meeting if so.
