dont pop them, just pull them out with water changes. Might need to increase your wc schedule too. The best way to rid yourself of them is manual removal (not breaking) and running gfo. Emerald crabs do eat them but only after they eat the other stuff they like. Fox Face also eats them. Popping them just releases all the spores creating more algae.

get a 6 line or a 4 line wrasse. it is definitely a flatworm, but not so much a problem. the wrasse will clean them up pretty good... i hear mandarins will eat them on occasion.

As far as bulb color to go with, since you dont have supplements, would be 20k. Its a crisper bluer light that will bring out the best colors. To get a feel for what you really want, check out some tanks that are running similar colors. I love the 20k but others may think that its too blue. I also like the 14k but it doesnt bring out the colors as well. I guess it all depends on what you like to look at.

Im not sure if I can bow hunt anymore since I screwed up both my shoulders. Rifle season doesnt have to be that long..... I only plan to hunt one day a year. I actually dont think Ive hunted more than 12 hours a year since I ETS'd.

Wow! Nice mountain... Hope I get to check this system out in person!

heres a few pics of some livestock.

How is the snowmobiling? How long is the season? Same with hunting.....

Indeed I will.

very possible.

We ran 2x250 over a 55 flat for coral grow out and it did just that.... corals grew like mad... the lights were about 24" from the surface of the water and the corals were 6" under. Most had fast growth but had very little color. It seemed like the only things that colored up well were the montiporas sitting on the bottom. I agree with everyone saying 250w is too much for a 46. Go with 2x150 (12k-14k) with T5 supplements.

So we are still a week away from my wifes interview in Portland but this past Saturday my LRC had a frag swap. I took a cooler FULL of frags to get rid of but ended up coming back with a cooler full of new corals... Im not doing very good at emptying a tank.

http://frag-a-rack.com/ i have one of these and they are amazing... they hold heavy frags, and almost disappear in the background

where are all the breweries?

looks to me like a very unhappy pocillopora the way the branching is so close and tips are rounded.

well... technically it isnt breeding....unless I put a couch in the back room with a kegerator.
