Beat Red Bugs, now have monti eating nudis

Alright, talk about bad luck. I just found a whole lot of Monti eating nudibranches in my tank. They're quickly decimating my mighty caps. Anyone have any clue how to get rid of them?

Running 1 bulb on a dual ballast

Hi,

Does anyone know how bad it is or if it is bad at all to be running only one bulb on a dual ballast? It is a BlueWave 7 ballast (dual HQI) but only has one switch controlling everything. ...

You usually won't need to put a bead on the inside after the 4 sides are up. The silicone will usually squish between the two panes of glass and when this happens, you can smooth it out with your...

I'm not sure what you mean about the gap for the silicone? You put the bottom piece down first, run a bead of silicone on an edge and push one of the edge pieces of glass onto the bead.

1200GPH coming out of a single 3/4" return is way too much in my opinion. The water velocity coming out of that nozzle would be huge! I would do at least 2x 3/4" returns and maybe put a couple of...

Did it start losing color from the bottom up or the top down? RTN is usually a bottom up kinda ailment.

Is it rapid, consecutive snapping or snap, pause, snap?

If it is rapid snapping, then it is most likely a mantis. If not, then its most likely a Pistol Shrimp.
