Shouldn't u two be in bed gettin sleep so ur freash for school tom :) lol jk. I am up straing at my tank with the lights off just to see if there is anything new in there lol. And have to get up at six!! Slap to face lol

And go a head kick me off. I give my input on fields that I know abt and feel confident in but u allow all the idiots to post what ever whenever about stuff they have never kept or expierenced is a joke.

Well got repremanded for "bumping" a previous thread and gonna do it again would really like to know what this frag is I have been searching and cant pinpoint it so if anyone has seen it would love the input. For you moderators out there jumping on bumps I putting it out there again I am not...

A little bit better picture disregard the CBB being a camera hog lol. But the guy at the LFS said it was tenacious something but I can't find anything on anything called that. Thanks! The stalk is kinda of an olive green and the polyps are similar in color.

Can anyone identify the second acropora frag? Not best picture I will try for a better one.

Love anthias but never have good luck with them :(

Well 9 bucks worth of snails is a lot better then a couple hundred worth of corals lol.

Yes sry astrea snails and I went thru it a while back and they wouldn't leave each rock til it was completly gone actually pretty impressive how fast they ate it.

Aptesea snails do a great job eating the hair algae.

Well that's prb y ur getting hair algae the damsel alone is prb to much of bio load for a 2.5 not positive on that since I have never had a small tank but pretty sure its to much for a 2.5

Lol o agree but unless ur tang is sick and week an emrald won't be able to harm him... but yes I was so amused this morning woke up the lights were not on yet and I had 3 emeralds on the top of my toadstoll absolutly going at it standing up on hind legs with there claws flying I couldn't help...

Speaking of emerald crabs. From what I understood they do not fight among themselves but woke up to a battle royal on my toadstool leather.

Emerald crabs do.do wonders but if there is alot they wont dent it much. Get about one astrea snail per 5 gallons the even eat the base of the hair algae so as long as u eliminate what is causing the outbreak they will get rid of all that's left.

Lots of possible reasons for hair algae. To much light will accelerate the growth but there is still an underlining cause. A couple of them being over feeding, using tap water because it has phospatea in it, not a sufficient clean up crew and excess waists builds up fueling algae growth.

http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/fish-invert-reference/marine-fish-compatability-creating-stocking-list-38579/ Not perfect but def a good little baseline on stocking questions. Def not perfect but def makes some good points especially when initially planning a stocking list.
