thats the thing, my xenia is dying...fast. The little bastard has made the base of the xenia his new home, and now my beautiful coral has holes and divets in the stalk :/. I dont know, I tried using boiling water with a medicine dropper right on the thing, and two hours later once back in the...

heh, um this is the thing. NOt only is my xenia on the rock. But so is my hairy mushroom and 2 other purple shrooms. STUPID ANEMONE! Also, because my tank is so new, I dont want to disrupt too much in an environment that isnt established well. What would be the least disruptive (mind you I'm a...

i know some methods to rid aiptasia, but what are the easiest/most reliable in your experience?

The xenia is happy today (thank god). And let me tell you, my algae is nil right now thanks to those crazy little hermit crabs! I do have a question for you however... My hairy mushroom appears to be expelling a brown substance from his mouth. Is this normal? I placed him yesterday, so is...

Oh my gosh, I know what you mean brandon...the bow really does make it expand. And I do plan on building a custom hood for either another 32w or maybe even a 75w MH pendant (*maybe on the MH*). But as of right now, I'm sticking to softies. I want to get a GSP colony and some zoos...just waiting...

Just added some more, an update of sorts. I just bought a green ricordia, red sea xenia and a little shroom (who is on the other side of the rock, any idea of how to move him?) as a hitch hiker that the guy didnt know about. I also got a fighting conch, turbo snail and 4 mexican hermits. Well...

the little freaks wouldnt stay still for longer than 2 secons, so this is the best I have for now...

YAY! I went to the LFS today to just get my water tested (or so I thought). Turns out my cycle is at the end...no trace of nitrites and my nitrates were at 20 ppm...sooo I got me a clownfish and a cleaner shrimp. The tank looks so much cooler now. I'll post a pic in a second. The percula is...

So should I wait for the 'so called cycle' to finish, or will nothing happen, so I should add livestock :oops: I'm confused (yet again...). I'm going to the LFS today, I've had class all morning, so hopefully I can get some kind of answer. And I think that you may be right about the LR being...

I'm actually from fresno, so very close to davis :wink: . And as per request (got a digital today...finally) here is a pic of the tank...

I first put in the water, then the LR, and then I poured the sand around the LR. I actually bought the LR from one of the best LFS's in town...and probably one of the most life based LR I've ever seen. I'm actually going this weekend to let them test my water for me, I have a feeling its the...

After nearly six months of reading and careful planning, I started my nano 2 weeks ago to this day. Just to give you guys some background here are my tank specs: 7g minibow 32watt CSL retrofit ebo jager 50 watt heater penguin mini (for circulation only) 9 lbs fiji LR 2 lbs tonga lalo LR 10 lbs...
