Brock,

I don't think that anyone meant to insult anyone else's intelligence here. I think that Javeo was simply implying that we are all "mere" reefers, and that it often takes a skilled marine...

Is this Botryocladia?

I have this red bubble algae that grows in large clusters. It is relatively slow growing and doesn't seem to spread very easily. Is this a variety of Botryocladia?

Re: Nassarius snail

I think that for a 110g reef, 5 nassarius snails are probably ok. Quite frankly, I don't see much use for them in tanks with well developed sand beds, but I suppose the biodiversity that they...

I suspect that your snails are not nassarius. Nassarius snails are carion eaters...they eat dead meat. A few of these snails are great in a fish-only tank that is fed lots of meaty foods, but they...

I guess that I really don't have a preference either way. What are the pros and cons of growing algae on the sandbed versus attached to the rocks?
