Interesting thing I had happen when I left for thanksgiving
. I turned off my MH and my 2 cooling fans (cause I loose to much h20) over the weekend. I left my 64 w of actinic on from wed afternoon until yesterday (sun) evening. I previously had a lot of fuzzy algae growing on everything--including macro algaes
. Well, when I inspected my tank last night, 90% of the fuzzy algae was gone, my various zooanthids had doubled in size and one now has about 40 versus 30 polyps on it
. Just caught me by suprise to see that it helped my tank by not having the MH on for 4 days
. Also took note of the fact that emerald crabs are not strictly herbivorious--he was eating pieces of shrimp that I put in for the clowns
