Thanks. I will, just been dragging my feet about pulling it out. Should I do some kind of dip after manually removing as much as I can?

What's the best way to get bubble algae mixed with some cyano off a large colony of trumpets (soft ball size). Has a dead patch right in the center maybe the size of a silver dollar. Happened slowly after i switched to a bigger led light, i have since reduced my light schedule and stopped the slow melting. Dip? Clip? Crabs? Any advice.

Pulls off easy with a large pair of good tweezers, like 10+ inch kind. Pull near the base and entire stalk usually comes right off no problem.

Thanks. How long do you think they will survive in my tank before something eats them or they starve? I have other fish, crabs and shrimp in my tank. Will I even have a chance to see them after they hatch?

Excited my clown fish are now a breeding pair. They both went through copper treatment about a year ago too, I thought that was supposed make it impossible to breed later. This is my first saltwater tank and its been running almost a year and a half. I think the eggs are about a week old now. What can I expect? Will they just immediately get eaten upon hatching?

I have an evergrow it2060 for sale, same as the photon 24". It only has about 7-8 months of use before I upgraded to the it2080.

Cool thanks for all the feedback. I am reducing my schedule for a few days, then I'll ramp back up

My concern is some previously shaded portions are totally white, and now in direct light.

I just fragged a bunch of sps. Should I reduce my lighting schedule for a few days to let the frags/colonies heal? If so what do other ppl normally do? Some large portions of corals that were previously shaded are now fully exposed to high light. I have a evergrow 2080 about 4in off the water over a 65gal tank, same foot print as a breeder. Thanks

Package says its 75w equivalent (website lists 65w) but uses 16w, and outputs 700 lumens.

Update - I added a 65w equivalent daylight (5000k) r30 cfl flood light with $8 metal clip reflector to light my fuge, and still has the cheap 3w LEDs which have some blues. Now instead of watching my cheato slowly wither away, it is growing like a champ. And the bits of keyna tree that I've banished to sump seem to be happy as well. I'll have to try Xenia soon. So I am very happy with this cfl light, total cost with reflector was under $20 at home depot. At this rate, I will have to harvest some cheato in a few weeks for the first time ever. Nirates are zero (or undetectable) and I am over due for a water change, its been over a month since the last one.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will just add a cfl with my cheap LEDs since it has blues and whites.

Thanks. I am thinking of getting a 75w(eqv) 5000k cfl flood light bulb. Anyone use something like that?

I have a 20 gal sump with fuge middle section. My cheap 3w led light from China is not cutting it, won't even grow keyna tree. Anyone have recommendations for a good light that will grow cheato and left over Xenia and keyna I toss down there? Pref a small foot print with goose neck and less than $50 or so. Would a cfl from home depot work? I can't justify $200+ fancey red LEDs for my tiny fuge. Thanks
