    Algae growing out of rock?

    hehe, not that I know of. I'm sure that hawkfish wouldn't taste very good...just a fish stick! I'm just going to pull it tomorrow mornin. I was thinking it might be a strand of chaeto.

    I just got Aquarium Corals by Borneman the other day in the mail, and am reading that. Should be ready for that leather in a few short weeks! Thanks again!

    Added a new one to the home! Diamond Goby. Love this guy! By blindloser1080, shot with u840,S840 at 2010-01-13 He was very shy at first, but now he hangs around my Longnose Hawkfish quite often! By blindloser1080, shot with u840,S840 at 2010-01-13

    Biff, Yup, those would be them! From what I read they are harmless, and will disappear on their own. Thanks!

    Update: Well, went and paid very close attention to the tank today. I have had a new colony of white specks appear all over the glass on the tank. They are VERY tiny, and some are like a lil white speck with arms on them. Any clue on what these could be?

    Just ordered my RO/DI unit this evening from purewaterclub.com. Will be nice not to have to go to the LFS every week, and buy water.

    Which overflow box and pump?

    I've had my lifereef for about a month now, it's paired up with a Magnum 5 pump. That overflow will handle i believe 750GPH. Plus Jeff over there is Great! He's helped me with all my question's I've had with their overflows. I also think they are all hand-made.

    They are reef-safe with caution. If you keep them fed then it should be ok. My buddy has one in his 55G that's about 5" long and has no problems with his. I love the Hawkfish, I had an Arc-eye a few years back, he was cool but VERY territorial. This guy seems less aggressive than that one.

    Which Octo Skimmer is right?

    Should work, according to website, it's 3.5" deep. and mine sits exactly right on the inlets. Of course you should be able to reduce the noise/break-in period by running vinegar through it. I ran mine in just my tank for a few weeks before I even got any animals.
