Thanks! Noticed my magnet cleaner frag rack was rusting into my tank and removed it. Hopefully not too must rust got into the tank. Maybe that had a little to do with some of the hair algae... dunno. Ill be doing a w/c.

What was rusting? Were there screws in it or something?

The actual magnet in it. It was a cheap marina brand. So i guess mostly iron rust. I found out by finding rust colored 'L's on my glass. Then realized it was corner of the frag rack. Using a magfloat now!

Ahh gotcha. You really gotta watch cheap stuff, you really do get what you pay for.

Yep in most cases.

My tank seems to be doing alot better as far as hair algae goes. Im glad too, I hate the stuff. Maybe that rusting magnet fueled it somehow i dunno. I have been pulling the hair algae out by hand for a while now. Id like to think that my tank is getting alot closer to being fully established!

So my 3rd forktail blenny came in! I ordered my first 2 from a different source. This one looks alot healthier and a little bigger. Ill have to post pics tomorrow. I hope he does well... 3rd times a charm right?

 

[paul87]

So my blenny is looking good. I cant get a pic of him cause hes skittish and likes to stay 'glued' to the silicone in the corner. My canary blenny and other forktails did the same thing. They are masters of hiding in the open for being as brightly colored as they are. Hopefully he gets comfy and starts swimming around with me in there so i can get a pic.

 

[paul87]

I kinda got a pic of him. Not very clear cause i couldnt get close. Hes awesome.

 

[Cichlid-dude]

Nice man, i hope this one works out for you!

I actually have faith in this one. Hes healthy

 

[paul87]

Heres some pics of him out and about.

 

[paul87]

This is where he is when hes not swimming. Glued to the corner and gets dark splotches like camo to hide. Silly little dude.
