Yes, thanks Chin again for the great work!

So far my rabbit fish hasn't shown interest.. lets hope he gets with the program!

My hippo hasnt shown much interest either so far. But at least this stuff doubles as a nutrient export.

Speaking of which, what lights are you guys using in your refugiums for this stuff? I have been using a blue spot plant light for my chaeto (I've been experimenting with different bulbs), but yesterday after I got so much tang heaven, I went to HD and picked up a dual socket light and now I'm using 2 x Philips Daylight CF bulbs.

Phillips Daylight 27w CFL bulbs. They're cheaper at London Drugs btw, although not every LD has them.

How far from the water surface do you have them? Are you using a reflector with them? Just 1? Or 2?

GMGQ; Would you happen to have a picture or link for that Dual Socket light?

It's basically like this motion sensing kind, but without the motion senstion part, and each socket is not wired up. I had an extra 6ft extension chord that I never wired up, so I just unplugged each socket, added some additional wiring (so I could hang them separately over the 2 sections where the macro is) and soldiered the wires in the sockets together, then soldered that to the extension chord leads. It's in the electrical aisle where the light switches and wall sockets are at HD.



I had some extra floodlight shrouds that I had removed from my motion sensing floodlight outside (because the floodlight bulbs that I recently changed too were too big to fit with the shroud on). So I put the shrouds on these new sockets, which is perfect to reflect the CF bulb light downward.

I had a single socket bulb before, and I thought about just getting a second one, but that would mean I'd need 2 plugs, and I dont have any to spare on that timer. So getting a dual one and wiring it up myself allows me to use 1 plug on the same timer as my moonlights.

I bought some cheap clip-on desk lamps. One lamp per fuge (20g volume) section.

So how are you guys doing, the ones with fish who didn't like it initially? Have they "come around" yet?

I got a little bit of it from one of the Calgary buyers, but my tang (Z. desjardini) hasn't touched a lick of it in 3 days. He ordinarily attacks food with gusto, so when he snubs a food, it's kinda surprising...
