30-04-2006 18:19 by craig	are these good or bad things i know sponge aint
30-04-2006 20:22 by laura	caulerpa is good. it will mop up excess nutrients in the tank. it also provides food for fish. just make sure it doesn't get too out of control growth wise! the purple/red things may possibly be forams. they are common on rock and cause no problems
30-04-2006 20:31 by craig	what are forams the purple thinhg are only smale and have a few spikes of them they are purply/pink colour wiilll these things get rid of some hair algae

02-05-2006 12:15 by craig	the bubble thing is only tiny as yet just a bit bigger than a pin head not tested calcium levels as yet only in early days gonna change salt mx to red sea coral pro as my lfs says calcium levels are excellent in it so i wont need any calcium reactor
