they are but they stay under the sand mostly during the day so you won;t need to look at them much. I see them early in the morning and when winding down headed to bed.

Then that might be ok lol

just asking, I get the same when the pump comes on. It appears to be some type of white film algae

it looks more like a paper towel got shredded. I keep thinking it's sponges and due to the constant spin of the propellor t=it's fine. but shut the propellor off and they stretch out so first start gives them a haircut. I may save the chemo pure bags and tie them over the return nozzles at some point. I hate to waste socks but maybe if I use the old socks during replacement it might help.

well I didn't;t want to and I know you guys are going to give me slack for it but I bought a Kenya. It was just so bright. I needed something glowing in the back corner. The Tube Anemone is still overpowering in fluorescence though. of course it was an awkward angle to reach in so I got a bit of glue streamer there.

Flack for what!? I want/need something just like that in my tank. Looks great to me, very nice toxic looking green!

So I had a bad tank day yesterday. I needed to clean the two gyres as they were barely working so I put in the back up pair and put the ones I removed in a bucket to be cleaned. Even though I didn't touch the programming, the clean pumps quickly decimated the tank. They knocked the birdsnest off its glue point on the rocks, they knocked over all of the frags in the sand and buried the favia. Instead of a relatively flat fore reef I had two sand dunes and a black acrylic desert between them. All of the fish were hiding and the water was so thick with sand particles that it was hard to see. I disconnected one of the pumps and changed the programming on the other so that it would settle down a little but I am beginning to really dislike gyre pumps. I love their flow pattern but their throughput is so inconsistent and they require maintenance so often that I'm ready to chuck them, except I can't, at least for now.

All of my frags are now behind the rocks partially protected by the Aqua Rocks that break up the flow and all of the fish have come out long enough to catch a quick bite to eat except the yellow wrasse but they went right back into hiding.

I'm pretending I don't own a tank for the rest of the day and tomorrow, sometime, I'm supposed to get my Meridian 35 so I will mount it, probably just completely remove one of the gyres and then dink around trying to get my tank back in rhythm and the corals in sane locations.

Dang Tom, I know how you feel buddy. I hate to hear this. It's been a couple hours, how's it looking now?

I have been doing 20 mils weekly for about 7 months, trying to ween off of no pox , down to 2 mil a day. I thought the white film stuff was from the no pox. My biggest dose is magnesium (BRS mix) and its 4 mil a day. my numbers are awesome, want to keep them that way. My skimmer on time is average 4 hrs a day. I can change my nutrients by adding or subtracting skimmer on time. Sticking to 4 gal water changes a week. Yes, I have a touch of OCD when it comes to my tank
