They're dead and prob got eaten by inverts

It has a similar skirt but has a baby blue center and mouth...the Bloody Mary palys seem to be purplish/blue but that's the closest thing that I've seen to look like it

Hey guys was sold this zoa as a patriot zoa but when I look up patriot zoas it looks nothing like it...I won it in a frag pack auction and everything else was accurately named but not sure about this...I'm looking for the collector name please

Look up Prodibio bio digest and bioptim had an algae issue it destroyed it...it wasn't this bad but worth a shot and a lot simpler then starting over

Ok so tested water this morning before water change. Also did my water change after and will post update pics when whites come on Nitrates 0 Phosphates 0 Calc 420 Mag 1420 Alk 8.0 Everything has gone well so far but I am going to hold off on reef booster for another 2 weeks. I will say though...

Possibly get some brackets to hang it up on the top of canopy and if fans are on top you can cut holes where fans are on top of canopy

They have not mated but they are paired

Got a little video of my gobies paired up with the tiger pistol shrimp http://youtu.be/r9IVTR_f9a4

Ok so i have been really busy at work this week prob wont be able to post updated pics til this weekend, but I have decided that i am not going to start dosing reef booster yet i will wait another two weeks thus starting it at week 8 instead of 6. I am doing this because even though i am getting...

Yea I'm gonna turn my skimmer off for the night when i dose reef booster

Also I did my pwc yesterday as well and will post pics tonight for progress Parameters Nitrates 0 Phosphates 0 Calc 450 Mag 1450 Dkh 8.2

I haven't added reef booster yet...most people wait 6 weeks til a large bacteria colony is present (by dosing bio digest and bioptim for the 6 weeks) and tank has low in nutrients...I might dose reef booster for my first time next week but I haven't decided yet because I still have some algae so...

Thanks... He is in the tank and went straight to the gobies cave and is already digging

I purchased a tiger pistol shrimp today for my yellow watchman goby pair...it's acclimating now got a couple more hours to go. My question is when I add the shrimp should I place him down near the gobies cave?

Ok ill read it tonight and figure out what i decide what my plan is for the refugium, as i dont plan on actually adding the sump in for another week or two, gotta wait for some items. Also if i use dry aragonite sand and dry rock rubble(once live rock that has been sitting out of water for...

I like the idea of DSB just have heard many stories of tank crashes because of nitrogen build up, If i was to do a DSB would you recommend nassarius snail to keep the sand stirred or would this be counter productive to the DSB?

That makes sense, I mostly just want something to sir the sand bed..Could i just skip sand bed, add live rock rubble and let macro algae sit on top of the rock rubble? or is there benefit of a sand bed in a refugium? Also thank you for all the advice so far its really helping...ive been...

do you have the aqualifter pump on constantly? Do you have have the output line just go into your sump and is it a large amount of water it sucks out? Also when im setting up the return where should i put the check valve so i dont her a back siphon. Just about middle of the return piping?

Yea I orginally was going to get the cpr 600 anyways, so ill prob just go ahead and order that. The skimmer i was looking at says the pump has a range of 100 to 130 gph, so would the 600 gph be ok with that, or should i be trying to match the skimmers pump? I just liked the eshopps because it...

I am picking up a eshopps overflow box as well as there R-100 refugium/sump tomorrow. My question is what gph should i get, they have two sizes that i was looking at there is the 300gph and a 800gph. I posted a similar question recently but am not going to get a cpr as i can get the eshopps...

Yea I know about headloss at 4 feet this pump is still pushing about 750 to 800 at least according to the chart on marinedepot...also I will have a toms aqua lifter pump to suck air out so that is not an issue either... I want more then the 600gph the CS90 and the CS100 (800gph) seems like two...

I am just thinking of the next jump up the 800gph because I believe even I run my return pump at 700 gph it'll run the the overflow near that speed as well...is this right? If not I'm gonna stick with the 600

Yea I know you want at least 10x overturn so it would work for 550 gph for sure but was possibly thinking of going up another size...is there harm in having a larger overflow?

I am planning on ordering a return pump and overflow box this week for my 55 gallon...I am looking at the CPR CS90 rated 600gph and I am looking at the reef octopus dc-3500 max flow is 925gph but has a controller to increase or decrease flow. Would these work? I'm planning on installing...

I left my hob filter on to run carbon and I like the flow it adds to the tank. I also like my reactor it has kept my phosphates low and algae has been disappearing and dont have to clean glass as often
