I really would rather him not try to host. The duncan is really stressed.

Clown has started trying to be hosted by the duncan. duncan's pissed and hasn't opened for a couple of days. :mad: Perfectly good frog spawn and hammer, won't go near them.

Yeah my 7yo daughter is really geeked up! She was so excited when it fully opened!

Bummer, some things are like that...

Did you ever get it out of there?

Got some great ideas from another forum for building some media baskets... In the meantime, I am FOWLR no longer.... Picked this up via a local forum: :)

Yeah, I recently got some chaeto that I have in the display area. I started out with a really small clump and it hasn't seemed to grow yet. It did have a cool brittle star hitchhiker though. If the chaeto works out for exporting excess nutrients, I'm going to put it in the back with a light...

Thanks, I really hope the nitrates drop after this.

Looks great!

Last week I stumbled upon a local thread where some kind member was offering to give away free corals. I was all set to do it and then we started to talk about my tank parameters. With better judgment we decided it would be better to wait on adding any corals until I can get consistently lower...

Coming along real nicely!

more pics: pretty red thing but maybe more aiptasia? 1mm in size: false percula: PJ cardinal note te ragged lower fins from clown nips: :o Macro post hermit carnage - smaller crab never to be seen again!

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. One thing that might be in my favor; the one I treated was attached directly to the plastic wall of the filter area, so there was no rock to suck into.

Well, I found another larger one in the back filter area where my protein skimmer is stationed. I ended up getting some AiptasiaX and dosed pretty heavily on the one in the back area. Seemed to take care of it, time will tell. At the same time I purchased a peppermint shrimp to take care of...

It's on a small piece of live rock, maybe racket ball size, could I just remove the rock? I was thinking about getting a peppermint shrimp anyway, should I leave it in there and see if the pep eats it?

Oh ok, thanks. That is what I have been doing. I don't have any sponge media as far as I know. I have been using RO ~ .01 tds for top offs. It must have been in there all along. I wonder what I should do with it. Is it plant or animal?

Wait, so what is it? Aiptasia? Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean wash everything in saltwater from the partial water change? It is possible that it has been there since I got the tank. It is in a obscure location in the shadows that I never really looked at. I have only done...

Please ID the following picture. I noticed this thing on the underside of one of the pieces of live rock. It is probably 7 mm in height. Sorry for the crummy pic - I was trying to hold a flashlight on it and the camera at the same time.

So that's where the gobie went. I was reading your other posts, he's been missing for a while. I wonder what he's been eating?

I think the Nitrate portion of the API test kit I have is not reading correctly. Do these kits go bad over time? I just purchased it but who knows how long it was sitting in the pet shop. The reason I think it is off is when I test using my kit, I always get >20 nitrate. Twice now I have...

Very Nice! Looking really healthy.

That little clown dude sure is a funny little guy! He goes into his "rubbing wall trance" every night. The cardinal seems happy when he does though, gets the tank to himself. All other times the cardinal is on high alert as the clown is always nipping at him. Probably not the best choice...

I notice that the fish act really weird when the lights go out. The clown is rubbing his body all over the side of the tank by the filter intake and the PJ cardinal went into hiding. normal?

Regarding the ceramic balls, I don't think there are any in there. I think there is just a bag of charcoal. I'll check when I get home.

Just swung by the local pet shop and was going to have them test my water but I didn't bring enough. :o They confirmed my pH reading and checked that my under counter RO unit had 0.00 Nitrate. I'll bring a bigger sample next time. :)
