I'm having so much trouble finding them, I've already explored into culturing coraline algae on dead rocks, which are readily available Read This

Florida Aqua Farm has CORALLINE STIMULATOR™ Coralline Stimulator™ is a complete, soluble, stable source of supplemental trace metals and essential vitamins. Principally formulated for enhancing growth and all colors of corals and other invertebrates. Stimulates zooxanthellae growth (microalgae) found in invertebrate tissues such as corals, anemones and clams. - Retards hair algae - Does not alter pH - Use in either salt or freshwater(???) - Use in conjunction with reef formers solutions of calcium hydroxide. - enriched with chelated iron, iodide, strontium chloride and other essential trace metals and vitamins including B12, biotin, thiamin and others May be worth a look too for those who wish to quicken the fast of coraline growth

Tanzy is undoubtly using screen capture on DVD right? Try getting a picture of the first person view when the pilot (Time Roth) is being mobbed ... now that's scary

Black Hawk Down is pretty cool ... Most horrifying scene ... mobbed by 'skinnies' I sure as hell would shoot myself than having to go through that

T3 ... YEAH!!!!!!!!! Who would've imagine, a female terminator with a kickass body to boot, trust the guys in Hollywood to come up with this.... it was getting a little boring with Arnie 'Arl be bark' Sw@#$%^&*

Pod culture eh? Not a bad idea do have intention to keep Mandarins and they tend to decimate pods population. Any luck in finding Chaetomorpha BarraCuda™? Count me in on any harvest... Thanks

Yeah, I was hoping its uptake is higher than that of macroalgae...oh well No luck in locating chaetomorpha as well I suppose unless we make a trip to you know where....

As far as I can tell, Boxfish is trying it. Will wait for his results ...

Oh ya, you had tonnes of those close at hand ... That figures, so out goes that idea through the windows...

Macroalgae growth rate as an indicator of its denitrificationis a good gauge of it effectiveness. But as pointed out in my other thread, pruning may result in foreign agents being released in the waters. I guess mangroves may not require much pruning if it grows slowly but I have yet to find out its capabilities. MH eh? In a sump, maybe a stretch. Think they mention 40W plant light should be sufficient.

Quite surprised when I read this but some marine acquarists actually uses them as a means of filtration, particularly to reduce DOCs, nitrates and other toxins. Living in freshwater swamps, and along brackish and salt water shoreline areas. They have the ability to live in saltwater by straining freshwater from the saltwater through their roots. The cells in the roots take in water, but because the cells are so small, they do not allow the salt molecules to be absorbed. Nature's own little RO/DI unit. It'll probably be in the sump, preferably hidden form view as it can be unsightly.... be weird isn't it?

Spade, Haha....I have a word for you, its a little scrambled but I'm sure you can figure it out: s-u-b-p-o-e-n-a

Ya boys and girls ... keep it coming ... let me the butt of the joke...... Well ya, tried to shoo away a cat before she makes her nest in my place. The last time we found a dead kitten in the store which left that part of the house stinking for a month. So now, I have a scar a couple of inches away from my right eye ... lucky my plastic surgen did a good job ... otherwise.... 'hui rong' already The other morale of the story: don't post anything other than about saltwater acquaria in this forum <_<

I do remember reading a thread on Harlequin Shrimp with a link which leads to a webpage with an actual pictorial account of such a spectacle... and I mean blow-by-blow Just sneak up, prop up one leg, get under the doomed starfish for better leverage, and with a heave flip it on its back.... then happily pounce on a meaty leg and start to devour it Hear it takes a week or so to finish .... now THAT'S COOL!!! Can't wait to get my own

Wah lau eh .... COME BACK DOWN TO EARTH YOU NIMRODS !!!!! Step away a while and you guys 'snook' me liao... So creative why not think of a way to make the sump a hospital / quarantine tank for fish before re- or introduction to the general population......

Australian Kelpie guys... canine, canis lupis, the dog barked and got her attention..... Her dad might be reading this for all we know... Possible bleak future: 3ft marine tank for sale as owner is unable to take care of due to circumstantial injuries.

Sorry to bust your chops souphamster, but I, as well as many forumers would rather you learn by reading and understanding, instead of experimentation. These are fish and corals we're talking, so please don't take this the wrong way, we're trying to help.

I was on my way out when I happen to peer into a neighbour's house and notice a marine tank in their hall. My straining to see what's in that 3 footer got the owner's daughter attention, well the Australian Kelpie actually..... I was invited to have a looksee and discussed a little on marine acquaria. Well anyway, I invited her dad and herself this way to the club. Strange day it is.....

During my tank cycling, when NO2 started to dip, I had a sudden explosion of these pods, one can literally see them crawling all over the glass and floating about. I got dizzy several times staring , but I took a rest and went back t it again My guess is this event is more common during tank cycle, and as bawater pointed out, possibly when a macroalgae or LR is added, but they probably won't last very long as they soon fall into place below the food chain.

That was a good one ....

I have not looked into sea lettuce yet, but according to CKS, looks like its definately serve as a Tang banquet. If someone can scrounge up some Chaetomorpha, I can try to grow them in my refugium, which is still barren, waiting to be colonised

Here's another

There is quite a number of variation (linum, spirallis, aerea..etc) Attached are some pictures for your identification. One thing though, Chek Jawa has Chaetomorpha crassa... If you get lucky, do share the bounty....

Yeah Tanzy, possibly.... one of Morgan's Precious....
