Thx autumnsky thats what im trying to do jus constantly trimming to get the plant more compact etc the sp. Japan does grow like crazy
I fed the SW tank last night and saw the arms of my little serpent star, and either it has long arms and it was bent through a rock hole or there are 2 of them as I saw 6 legs.
Also saw the scary looking giant bristleworm, I guess the one I couldnt catch when I moved the rock in there . There were 3 - really big, regular and smaller. Know it isn't bad but I would like to capture and remove the big ones they creep me out tbh. Now afraid its so big it could grab and eat something it shouldn't.

Hi all, been a little while since I posted. Have been giving my now empty tanks a blast of salt and then a rest while I let them cycle some more before I get new fish. So I've played with the tank set up..

50 % clean on Gonzos tank, hard to believe that it's been 5wks since I set this tank up. Still running both filter's probably give them an extra 3wks to be safe.
Rinsed filter's in boraras tank, all well in there.
Decided to put veg in for the baby tylos in my bettas tank but my betta was the only one interested! Everything growing really well, and added some cholla wood too.
70 gallon elephant nose tank.
30 gallon boraras , red longfin bristlenose, bamboo shrimp, crs,rcs and different snails.
7 gallon halfmoon betta and red ramshorn.

Saw some aggression with the largest young Koi Angel and the big Double Black. I swear, everytime this happens I think, I am done with ever having more than one of these guys.
Then I try a different combination and have the same thing happen. So doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. I forget what they call that - insanity!!!
They were lip locking and chasing. I think I am putting Blackie over into the 46G as a temporary measure. Maybe - still thinking.
Spending a few minutes every day moving around the SW macroalgae Chaeto in the 5G bucket since taking it out of the nano tank. It is 1/4+ of the bucket. Probably gonna sell it at the local CAS auction. Not likely to have a big place for it to go (like a sump) for awhile. Keeping the Ace Hardware Daylight bulb on it 24 hours a day but flipping it like a pancake and it has an air bubbler and moving the light focusing from one side of the other bucket. Dosing a little mineral additive too. It is greening up a little bit, probably needs some iron. Haven't been to the independant lfs for a few weeks, hoping Friday. Also learning more about SW Pipefish just in case I need to get one.
The little yellow Clown Goby has more room to swim and the shrimp and RFA and Cabbage Leather are doing well. So much fun to watch the tentacles of the Dwarf Brittle Star creeping out of the rock crevice. Still happy that I know where to look for it.

For some reason algae pearling seems bad.
And I was suggesting the flag fish for temporary stock. They actually eat hair algae.

Weekly water change!
Alright, I'm embarrassed to admit this but want to post the video as something of a PSA. Up until today, I had been following Aqueon's directions on how to start the siphon, moving the cup back and forth in the water. There's a better way!
https://youtu.be/mfEBbjKK5xQ
Seriously I felt very silly for how difficult I made things for myself.
I took the two baby trapdoor snails out of the tank. I want to give them the absolute best chance of survival. I'm scouring the internet looking for insights but really at a loss. I do worry about the rams trying to eat them, so maybe I should move them to my smaller tank?
I had read somewhere about using quilting batting after a water change with sand, so I'm trying that. The 10 gallon is always great, but the sand in the 29 gallon feels like it will never settle.
the tiny computer is full of delicion!

Vacuum and PWC today. A little stumped about my stems losing the bottom leaves. I know it's due to not enough light. But the light hasn't changed since May? Oh well maybe stems aren't for me. 
Lowered the water, snails need some space for eggs. They have been at it again...
