I've been there every year. I plan on it again this year.

I know this is an old thread but I had my maxijet fail that was running my hang on refugium. It was off for a few days. My old tank had huge nitrates, and I wound up changing 70 gallons on my 75...

Ok, I think I may get another mars aqua but I have to admit the Halide seems to be a much better and brighter light.

I now have another question here. So I still have some working boards from...

That side was also under metal halide aside from the last 3 days. I will keep an eye on them.

I still think my metal halide has given me the best light but these are really good as well.

Ok I just installed the mars aqua and I have it nearly dialed in at 100% to get as close to the metal halide.

Left is metal halide and right is the mars aqua Leds.

My tank looks pretty similar to the first picture even with all 6 boards and all LED's working in one of the panorama fixtures.

We kind of think with one halide and one LED it looks like if you...

Well I got one on my old panorama LED's back up and running. I soldered in a board as well as moved around some power supplies. I'll see how this looks next to my metal halide once the lights come...

After seeing how bad my LED's were and the fact that I'm pulling over 150watt trying to maintain one half of the lights I did have I'm thinking my 500 watt of Metal Halide is good for now.

I have...

Maybe I could fix one of the panorama lights and buy one Radion until I can get a second one?

I have another air stone and an aqualifter. I probably need to back the light up a bit which is hard to do there off the shelving that my sump is sitting on.

I have since re-arranged the airstone...

Yes that is my only bubbler. I used to get a lot more growth. The red LED's seem to be doing good.

So I started my 75 gallon tank back in 2004. What got me into the hobby was clams. I've had quite a few problems over the years. I'm actually now back to running metal halide, but wondered which...

I still don't seem to be growing turf algae like I used to. Could the bristleworms be eating the stuff, or it doesn't like to grow on the coraline algae that has since formed?

I soaked the air...

11971 I know I have some cyano but I do have red macro. Even leaving this tank off for a week hasn't fixed the cyano.

Is it the red macro algae? My 20 gallon tank grows a lot of it and caulerpa. I've never really gotten it in my main tank as I think my tangs would eat it.

11949 This is what I have been growing. It is still bubbling, but I think all the bristleworms are eating it.

Figured I would resurrect this thread with something else kind of interesting. I don't hardly get any turf algae down there anymore. I still get some but nothing I can really harvest. I put a...

Here is how I have it setup. The screen is just held up on the glass with some old magnets. I have an airstone below, then the red LED lights. I have a plastic black plate behind the screen to help...

Here is how the algae looks now with the newer screen and the red LED lights I got from Tom. 10811

For me, I don't. Mostly because the scrubber is submerged, and any parts that aren't are washed off in the sink during maintenance.

I'll work on getting a couple more pictures and show some of...
