Nano Light Stand

[EagleEyes]

Hey i figured i'd show everyone what my DIY history looks like. I bought a 20" dual sattelite and decided to put it onto four PVC connections. Sooner or later i decided it was too low to the tank and put four golf balls onto the PVC connections. All held together with silicone. lol i put in the picture here. Also you can see that the tank just has algae in it, but i have a healthy sand bed and Ive been watching the tank cycle for a while. Im just putting 2 and 2 together so i think this next 55 will be a huge step for me.

To put a picture in a thread (and we all want pictures!), upload your picture to the gallery (click photo gallery, then upload, then follow directions), then post the "BB Image Code" into your post. Or you can use Photobucket and paste their image code into the post.

Halimeda! Thats the one, halimeda. Nice stuff.

 

[reeffreak]

It looks like grape caulerpa that went asexual,at least thats what I think they call it.Maybe you and Biff should switch some algae and sees if they don't cancel each other out.

 

[yote]

Thats Halmedia(sp?).I dang sure aint gettin in no algae fight with them folks from AZ.

 

[yote]

But on a close inspection,I think Reefs right.

 

[reeffreak]

Halimeda is calcareous,me thinks it caulerpa racemosa(aka grape)

 

[EagleEyes]

I had Caulerpa Racemosa, Caulerpa Serrulata, Caulerpa Sertularioids (sp?), and Halimeda Incrassata (?) or discoidea. Not sure. Then that other stuff was not common and not interesting but still managed to sprout and spread like wildfire. I got to see the eggs and stuff under a microscope. Pretty cool

 

[Bifferwine]

Don't argue with Brendan about algae. That's what this dude wants to get into for a living.
