Thanks! T5's are really going to make that tank jump. I didn't follow your nudi outbreak. I'm sorry to learn about it. Did any zoas make it? I bet you were dipping, but they came in as eggs right?...

coralline algae myth?

I have seen it mentioned recently in more than one thread that growth of coralline algae on live rock reduces its effectiveness as a biological filter. This just sounds like such utter theoretical...
