Didn't realize that for at least 2 weeks my dusk/dawn (2x24w) have not been turning off. Guess I need to be more careful to put the timer back in auto mode after doing some extended hours viewing!
I have a toadstool of all things that has bleached or something. I'm hoping it's somehow related. Anyone know if this could have any negative affects on my fish with no darkness for a couple weeks?

Are you sure it not just in its molting phase, Brett? My moon lights ( LED's though ) are on 24/7 because I'm to lazy to find my cheap timers

It's Snappy's green polyp toadstool... the thing has full extension but is nearly all white right now. Not sure I'm not too toadstool savvy.

Yes I did actually good call.
Yeah I'm running the magnet every 2 or 3 days on all 4 panes and still finding that the coraline forms. It's all over the new rock as well. Have dull/brownish hair algae 'tufts' in a few spots on my rock which hopefully doesn't get too bad. My sand is also fusing together in a few spots where I feed (and where the fish all seem to poop) and it looks a bit ugly. I never vacuumed the 97g and the goby took care of all of it. This time around the Kole won't allow him inside that area for very long. Sorta funny but yeah it's showing! After only 2 waterchanges (things looked rad) I tried skipping a week and saving money going with one every other week. I'm already seeing the downside to this (or it's part of the whole 'new tank' thing which some people blame). Might have to go back to weekly. My changes are on the small side already for a system this size (50g or so) so maybe I shouldn't complain.

Well you have enough salt to last you a year or better down there so quite being cheap & stick to what worked for you in the past.
