Spelling is probably more important than the others to non-English speaking peoples. They more than likely know what algae is, but alljee will probably have them scrambling for a dictionary :)

A quarter inch hose with a valve in it works pretty good. You just have to get the drip rate to match your evaporation rate, which can be a bit of a trick sometimes. That's about as simple and cheap...

Doing fine here. Some dinos, but otherwise OK. Numbers are stable. No losses in months. Corals are growing, except the xenia but I don't consider that a problem. Peppermint shrimp keep making babies,...

Congrats on beating the dinos. We just got back from vacation, did New Years in Key West. Found the tank almost completely taken over by dinos. It was lights-out when we got home, so I don't really...

SC Johnson's paste floor wax works well. But any paste wax that contains Carnauba will work. It's also a good idea to wax hardwood floors if you are going to put carpet down, just in case you or the...

I've got a damsel and a neon dottyback in my FO tank. I think it's an even match. At least they respect each other, no fights at all.

Yeah, both can be pretty mean if they wanted to.

You could also put a "T" in the line coming out of your top-off tank, but make sure the "T" is inside the tank and above the water. You may have to put a valve on the leg in the top-off tank to limit...

Re: water change... from reef to fowlr?

That's what I do with my FO tank. The fish don't need the trace elements from the water since it's in the food anyway, and since it's coming from my reef I know the SG, Ca, alk and Mg are good...

NanoGurl,
Just imagine how you would plumb the tanks if they were separate systems and each had their own sump and own return pump.

Raising Mg will not kill hair algae. I thought I had bryopsis and raised my Mg to 2000. The algae did not go away. I had to pull it out by hand for weeks and I still have some.
