Paul, I am totaly fascinated with your set-up1 Very cool. I too have some unusual things in my tank just for the different look. Some people come in and say why do you have that in there but after looking at it awhile they to see the coolness of it. Very neat story and thanks for sharing it here. I truly beleive that this does not have to be totally expensive and almost anything works for different people if your determination is high enough.

OK now that I have no hair algae some of the Red algae (cyno) is starting to grow. I guess it does not know that the tank is now clean. I am going to try another experiment by using
"red slime remover" I know what it is made of (antibiotic) and it scares me but I have not heard any really bad things yet. I know it will kill a lot of my bacteria but I have a back up supply of natural mud and other slime from under rocks that I will dump in there in four days. I think of these minor setbacks as a learning experience and I really hope it comes out as a positive one. One good thing, the corals never looked better and those and I just sold some of those lettuce nudibranch to the LFS.
I will let you know how this stuff works (or does not work)

I used that Red Slime Remover and it worked beautifully in one dose. All the red is gone and all is well. The lettuce slugs are still reproducing all over the place which I use like credit cards, I bring them into LFS s and walk out with corals. My corals are stretching to their limits and things are growing that I don't know where they came from.
Nanocat, I never found Jimmy Hoffa or anyone else diving near the City but there is a very small Island called Huckleburry Island a few hunbdred yards off the Bronx that was a very jumping place during prohibition. The island is about two or three hundred yards long and covered in trees. There are small wooden structures and a large covered gambling table. They used to have wild parties there and when they used to see the cops coming they would throw the bottles of bootleg gin in the water. The bottles were cool medicine or tonic bottles. One says "DR. Pharneys Old Time Reliable Tonic" Of course I collect these and some of them are in my reef.
I dont know how far off topic this is going but I will stop before I get in trouble.

Paul, for some of the young reefers, during prohibation[alcohol illegal] one could only legally get alcohol from the pharmacy thru using "cough & ailment remedies" which generally contained a hi content of alcohol base--I believe Halocol contained 28% alcohol! Needless to say, it was a great seller Bob

First of all. Rmendis, thanks for posting those pictures, and also nicole who was also trying, By the way guys, the last 4 E mails I got from the both of you are lost, I must have gotten a virus and it kills my E mail. So what ever it said, I can't read it. I will have to de bug it. Jamesurq, that thing that snakes aroung the rock is a homemade rock I built out of bent melted PVC pipe covered in rough concrete. I have a few of them. I like them because I can build them to snake over the reef without touching it and I build places in it to mount corals. Green star polyps are starting to grow all over it. It's covered behind that copperband butterfly. The small tanks floating are baby slug nurseries.
