Cool thanks, very much,

Hi all I would like your help please, I noticed the other day that one of my peppermint shrimp had died, no idea why as fed every other day and water perimators are fine, after I got the corpse out of the tank, i had a good look to see if everythink else was ok. It is thank god. But I noticed...

I would use peppermint shrimp they are natural hunters of the pest and a nice addition to tank

Cool thanks that info is brilliant. Yes the hob filter was a different idea but if it hasnt worked for your self it most likely will not work for me so thats a no go. Penthouse fuge umm i like that name.LOL

I have thought of that but the stand my tank is on makes it a no go unless i empty the tank and modify it. Its an option but then id either have to get it drilled Or an overflow box. With my tank i have à block off zone(no view Training) at the top its about 3inches in Night do that should give...

Ye thought of that, thanks. Would it be best with a deep sand bed Or a thin layer. I was thinking of getting a cheap hob filter and taking the media our and putting the microalgae in there with a light. Not 100% sure which way to go but i know i want to do one to help supplement my own...

Im thinking about putting a gravity fed refugium above my 29 gallon. I think a ten gallon would be good. I would use a power head to pump up into it and drill two 1 inch holes one above the other for the back feed. The higher one would act like a fail safe in case of a blockage. I would light...

Sorry was meant to say drill not still silly phone

Cant you still the top rocks and the ones below and use some zip ties, it might look unsightly to begin with but will soon be covered up with algae Or postition the holes to the back and you wont see them.just an idea.

To say sorry.( phone playing up)

I have checked with my lfs and i need to hols my habrá up and say a but sorry to everyone im wrong. Looking after the coral is the same but the names not. So im so so sorry to every one.

I will check on that, i may be very wrong and if i am im sorry, im just getting my info from a couple of coral books i have. Ill get my lfs to check as they only sell marine. Like i said if im wrong im sorry and will have to get some better reference books. LOL.

To be honest with you i dont really know its just somethink that I got told by a good lfs in my area

Yep they are fine

You can i have à couple of lps myself a hammerhead, plate coral,frogspawn and a hammerhead, what depth is your tank

That looks to me diatoms all over your sand, they use the silicate in the sand ect, you best bet is to leave it to it and it will disappear. As for the hair algae a couple of snails and crabs will help but wont solve, Start doing more regular water changes,and turning your light photoperiod down...

Perfect they will do it, maybe even some lps eg hammerheads, torch corals the easier ones i

Thank you all. I have feed them its cool the way they look like not ballons hehe

Sorry me wrong. Ooopps. The corals are part of the familt group called xeniidae which includes xenia, anthelia amd efflatounaria corals,( pulsing,pom pom and waving hand), the coral that you and i have are called anthelia, they like strong flow and strong lighting ( well for a softie any way)...

They will dont worry

I think that people think that xenia pulses but there is a couple of varities. I might be wrong thats just what a few books that I have say.

I feed mine with 3 types of phytoplankton twice a week but to honest light is the best source of food for these. Here is the picture i told you off

They are lovely, not as popular as the pulsing xenia but just as nicec ive had mine in my tank for 2 months now and its spreading like hell.that is under 20 x 3watt leds tho

Hi can someone please tell me what sort of mushroom this is? As you can see its thriving and im not getting rid of it, i just like to know what i have in my tank, as i was viven this. Thank you

That looks like à xenia pom-pom coral, o have a large colony in my tank, they spread well and give brilliant motion in the tank. Heres a pic of mine. If you look at the top this is it, ill put a better pic for you when i get home from work.
