Is this sea lettuce? Livingart That does make sense, their introduction was probably quite stressfull which may have caused it. They seem to be all happy now, open like the one in the pic RUNAS

Yes I suppose it would be called that, please forgive my aquaculture ignorance, :nilly: I was concerned that it may create unwanted "stuff" in the system at this stage,I also got some red anenomes(noobie to marine) which I was told after I put them in ,that this early on they werent a good idea,they need good light good water quality etc, well I have about 15 baby ones now! in three weeks. I fear these are going to be a problem if they are spreading this quick! I will endevour to post photos soon RUNAS

Hi there, during a trip to the beach to get some hardy little rock pool fish to help cycling my take I found a rock covered in bright green leafy seaweed, sooo I thought great, thats cool, Ive got a home for you! Now three weeks down the track all is still well, my blennys,triple fins, olive rock fish and glass shrimps are all doing awsome as well as the sea weed. Im currently going through the diatom phase which I understand will pass, but is the sea weed a wise idea? the fish certainly love it. RUNAS

Faithbleed, I know Im a noobe but I can see the easiest way of dealing with this is to put a gate valve on your return line? Im running a 250 lt system with a 9500 LPH pump (long story, but lets just say head height issues ok) I have 2x 25mm outlets (1x durso controlled 1x uncontrolled) with these dropping 2.8 meters and my 2 foot sump handles that no problems. By the time I have my baffles, return pump, protein skimmer and pump AND the pump for my chiller real estate is at a premium down there, but it all balances out fine. Some solutions are easier than the problem. RUNAS
