Over 260+ items identified - by picture!

Hmm, after looking at many other pictures of red slime algae, I don't think it is what I have. I don't have the "slimy part." In fact, I was kind of bummed when I thought it was bad stuff because it is very attractive, yet looks different from the red coralline algae that has started to fill in. There will be bubbles on it, then they go away in a few minutes, then they come back. In fact, I've got bubbles that come off the rock everywhere, even on the still-not-so-alive parts. I'm still very very new at this, so if anyone knows why I have small bubbles rising from my rock occasionally I'd love to know. Does it have to do with the lighting cycle as mentioned above? Sorry, I know this a bit off the topic of this thread. I'll post a picture tomorrow after the lights come on.
 
That could be part of the denitrifying effect, or simply something that occurs in newly set up tanks.
 
Marla999,

[welcome]

I'm glad it helped you. That was my goal. There is a lot more information on my site, so when you have time, wander around. Be sure to click on Hidden Treasure from the main page, because that is where all my webpages are organized by category.
 
I thought it could be the denitrifying effect as well, but because I'm fairly new at this, I thought that answer was too easy...heh heh. I was unable to find any larger "patches" of it with the bubbles for a photo; they are on the rock for a moment, then release and float to the surface. I'm not going to worry about it. Thank you for your help, have a good day,

Tim

Glad this page is helping you all. Feel free to peruse my site for more information in other areas if you so desire.
 
your site is simply AMAZING.... being new to the hobby, this was exactly what i was looking for! between that visual guide and these forums i will be up and running in a few months im sure!
 
Good informations and a lot of nice pixs. I am not very good with name. With the pixs, now I know what I have. Thanks for posting. I am sure a lot of newbies will benefit from this site. Is the a series of pix collected from different reefers???
 
Hi Bugs,

Each image can be clicked upon, if your pop up stopper is turned off. Once you click on it, a new window opens up with an image and short description. Beneath each image, it lists a photo credit. The majority are my images, but I believe about 10 or 12 images have been contributed by others.

I'm glad you found the ID page useful. Feel free to visit my website for lots of good information: http://www.melevsreef.com/

Be sure to click on Hidden Treasure to navigate my site more easily.

Thanks for the tip. I just put the mouse on the pix and it show me the name this is how I know the name and the association with the pix. By clicking on the image, WOW, not only it got the name but it also has the description. This is really nice and useful. Thanks Marc....... It really make it easy for me. I can show off and tell people what I have instead of describing it..... You make my day..... Do you also have other sites that have the standard water parameters such as ORP, PH, Calcium, Alk, etc ???? This would also be helpful.
 
Oh yeah. This is good. I will spend some time tonight to surf your sight to see what other information is usefull. It is really a nice site. Did you do the webpage yourself also? A man with many tallents. Thanks.
