		<description><![CDATA[Caulerpa are fast-growing green algae with fronds (“leaves”) that come in a variety of shapes. The fronds from to between 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) in length and are attached to long runners (“stems”) called rhizomes. Besides simply spreading outwards, Caulerpa can also propagate themselves vegetatively through sections of rhizome that break off the parent plant and become established elsewhere.

Caulerpa rhizomes are attached to the substrate by fine hair-like extensions known as rhizoids. As is the case with all algae, the similarities between rhizoids and the roots of true (vascular) plants such as seagrasses are misleading; rhizoids only anchor the algae in the sediment, and play no role in absorbing mineral nutrients. Caulerpa, like all algae, absorb the minerals they need from the water via their leaves.
Caulerpa are found in a variety of shallow water marine habitats. Substrate types vary from solid rock through to sand and mud, and Caulerpa can ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The SMR1 has finally been released!

Our solid media reactor (aka Biopellet reactor) is available NOW!  Give the folks at Aquarium Specialty a call, they have the very first batch.
The SMR1 is a special edition of our standard reactors, with some very cool changes.  It&#8217;s available in 2 sizes with 14 &#38; 21 inch chambers.
Here&#8217;s  the most common questions so far:
What took so long?
Well, a few things.  One, we tested the reactor / media combination A LOT.  New fittings, new plenums, different pumps&#8230; it takes a while.  Plus, we had to have that cool blue acrylic tubing custom cast&#8230; yep, just for us!  Plus, there&#8217;s pictures to take, labels to design, websites to update&#8230; stuff takes a while!
What&#8217;s different?
Well, it&#8217;s white and blue.  (Isn&#8217;t that enough?)  That blue tubing drastically drops the PAR values inside&#8230; and cutting down on light reduces algae.  ...]]></description>
