    18W vs. 36W

    I've called half a dozen fish stores around the area and not too many of them carry oceanic products... most of them order off of Fosters and Smith (which have the back orders) But one store has a 36 watt available

    The light died about an hour ago... and a new (18watt) is on back order until August 15... will the tank be okay?

    I have live rock and ricordea florida mushrooms... I'm not sure what I want to add to my tank later... a few other soft corals, nothing fancy, and a fish (probably a firefish or clownfish)

    18W vs. 36W

    the daylight in biocube just died :( so I was looking online for new lights and ran across an 18 watt and a 36 watt... is there a huge difference? also, would it be better to stick with the 18 watt for my 8 gallon tank, or upgrade to a 36? :^:

    Purple coralline algae growing on my sand

    here's the clearest picture I could get with my phone.. I didn't think it was a lot considering the tank has not been up for long the coralline was on the sand just below this rock.

    Purple coralline algae growing on my sand

    Hola Everyone... so I took a piece of the mystery purple film to the lfs where I buy everything saltwater.. and it was coralline algae! the associate said when there is an abundance of coralline in a tank it will begin to extend to the sand touching the rock.. especially with tanks that...

    Purple coralline algae growing on my sand

    I don't have a picture of it right now, but Ill post one in a couple of hours... my husband called and told me about it.. I asked him if it was like a dirty brown or brownish/red color but he said it's the same vibrant purple as the algae on the rock.

    Purple coralline algae growing on my sand

    I have beautiful purple coralline algae growth on my live rocks :) but it's starting to spread onto my sand :( I really wanted to keep my sand white... should I syphon the algae off of the sand or just leave it? What do you recommend? :sfish:
