Just thought I would add my two cents about the RO DI water filter mentioned. Not that you may have a problem with algae growth after your tank...
Just looking for some views on what others are using for food on certain tank-mates. I have an open brain, 2 anenomes, and 2 plate corals that I've...

Yes, they pop back in really quickly. It sounds like that's what they are. Thanks beamer ;D
How's this? It's the best I could do.
What are the tiny flower looking things growing out of my LR. They look like little umbrellas and close up if you go near them. There so small I...
Is this something to worry about or is it a good thing to have in my tank?
I'll try another pic. :)
I had a problem with hair algae about a year back. I put three mexican turbos is and within three days my tank looked like I just started it.

Actually since I left that post I've read other posts from people here and at Reef Central and they have had similar complaints about Coralife's high...
I also tested the calcium and that was at 700.
I just tested a new batch of RO/DI water with a ppm of 4 made with Coralife and a salinity of 1.025. I get readings of 3000 for mag with the Salifert...
Just an update. I just tested a new batch of salt water (Coralife) and got a reading of 3000! I guess that's the problem since the water I'm starting...
