    Yes, the vast majority of it appeared just recently...which gives me the idea that I may have had a nitrate spike...I haven't tested yet, but maybe a possibility, correct? My nitrates were around 10 for a while. Then once I was not home as much I have been getting all this algae. lol. :(

    Just over 1 week until the 7 month mark. :)

    Lol. ugh plumbing. done with that for the day!! Im debating re plumbing.. Im going to get a new pump tuesday i think that will solve a lot of my problems.

    It gets easier when you have a job :p I probably will work close to 40 hours next week bleeeh but I really need the money for my tank and other things. like books for college (its sad to think about how many fish I could buy with that money)

    Good luck with your plumbing! don't mess it up like mine :p

    haha. Thanks. The plumbing I showed you(of my tank) on your thread was done correctly, but I have decided to flip-flop how the sump/skimmer will be layed out in the stand, so now I need to redo the plumbing. :)

    ...have fun buying your books. :p

    Copepods? They don't move though....

    Hydroids have been spreading like crazy in my tank. Is there a way to get rid of them? I heard they will irrate corals.

    I also found these cool orange sticks on the glass; the best ID so far would be sponges.
