Coral Beauty nipping xenia by: Danielle | Here's the one that I watched, though there are others out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gKizvpGKPk My royal gramma and clownfish never went near it, but my yellowtail blue damsel had a blast playing inside it, so if you need to get a damsel out of your tank, this trick will probably work. I also caught every hermit crab in my tank and one snail. Note: If you make the hole too big like I did, and the fish keeps escaping, use a net to cover the hole before you grab for it. Nets travel through water much faster than hands. Zoanthids growth? by: Tommygun People talk of zoanthids not growing down on surfaces just up and I am here the say from personal experience that zoanthids grown up, down, around, over and everywhere they can and will if conditions are right. From what I have seen my 2" frag went to about 6" in about 8 months. Good light exposure, high nutrients, and placing my zoanthids just under where my tangs attack their food really helps feed them at the same time. Blue Xenia by: Tommygun GARF has some great strains of Xenia especially the giant bali xenia is my favorite Torch, Hammer, Branching Hammer, Anchor, Frogspawn, and Grap by: Tommygun I seem to have a really hard time keeping any of the wall hammers that I have bought and like other reefers have started to realize that if a wall hammer shows any receding of tissue at the time of sale it is not a smart investment to make. Then again it seems like most corals are not the best investments, then again the best things in life are not investment. I saw some guy online who had a tank full of just frogspawns and hammers and it was amazing. Loose seaweed and algae by: ReefKing any type of organic material when decomposing will create NH3 . NH3 is then reduced to nitrite .... then to nitrate . keep your clean up crew stocked and you shouldnt have problems . hermit crabs will take care of business . |
