I guess I need to be more patient. The sand is packing down quite nicely now. Even when it gets stirred up it doesn't cloud the tank nearly as bad as it did at first. Still not perfect, but better every day. I really didn't relish the thought of switching sand. Yuck! I'll post pictures...

The sand is live sand I bought off of ebay, and it has been in the tank for a few weeks now. It sounds like it may not be worth the risk to take it out at this point...at least not if it could cause an ammonia spike. Actually, since my fuge has been running consistently for the last few...

Hope you don't mind, but that last pic just became my desktop at work!!!! WOWIE ZOWIE those are some gorgeous zoas! I'm green with envy.

Not to get too far off topic :isorry ....but....would somebody explain the whole Caulerpa "going sexual" thing to me and how it affects the nutrients in the water? I have red caulerpa in my nc12dx. Should I be concerned that it will negatively affect my water quality?

At this point, I only have a clean up crew (hermits & snails), two fish (chromis & zebra barred goby) and a half dozen unattached corals. I picked the goby because I decided to leave the jawfish where he is and I like digging fish. So the sand is going to have to go..... Is there any reason...

What did you have for a cleanup crew? I added a zebra barred dartfish which loves to dig in the sand and it instantly clouds the tank. Also, I got my refugium a couple about 4-5 days ago and the sand is always getting stirred up by the flow. I thought flow was a good thing....could I possibly...

The sand I got for my new 29 gallon reef tank is poopy. It is too fine and if it gets disturbed it clouds the water. I already have LR, a couple of fish and some corals in the tank, but I don't think this sand is going to work out for the long term. What can I do? Would putting a layer of...

That big 15 pounder in the center has a real nice big hole/cave right in front. Hope that will work for an anemone. Update.....Got my sand! Got my sand! Got my sand sand sand!! JOY!!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Happy birthday fellow Northwoods Septemberite!! Hippo, birdie to ewes!!!! Karen

Ditto. Very nice tank Fresh!

I've referred to this chart on many occasions! It's worth bookmarking. Karen

J&D- Let me know when you have a frag or two of that! Very cool zoas!!!! :loveface Karen

I prefer a tank with a substrate, and since I'm putting the jawfish in the new tank it's a necessity. I love that fish to death, but he's getting more and more destructive in my 12. I expected the burrowing and put in a deep sand bed for that purpose, but he keeps stealing my zoa frags to line...

I have some live sand on the way. I will probably go with a deepish sand bed because I plan on moving my jawfish into the 29 where he will make less mess than in the 12.

Ask and ye shall receive... I just kind of "threw" the power heads in because I have no clue where I should have put them. The 2 in the upper corners are on opposing timers at 20-second intervals and the 3rd one is on a 3-minute timer. The wavemaker package from F&S didn't come with any...

Well....I went to F&S yesterday and picked up the Coralife Aqualight Pro HQI/VHO 24" fixture. Got it home only to discover that it is more than 15" wide! Stupid me - never thought to check that. So we made the trek back today and exchanged it for the 30" Current Sunpod 150W MH/Lunar fixture...

J&D- Confused, a little, but I think I know what to get now. When I first started looking at lights I wanted the MH/VHO combo on F&S, but wrote it off because it didn't come in the 30" size. Now that I know a 24" will be sufficient, I will probably go for it. I just better get my butt over...

No worries! I only have water in the tank right now. I am going to take my time with this....really. I'll try to at least. J&D- I really like that light that F&S has on sale, but it doesn't come in a 30" size - same with the Tek. I'm running into that problem with a lot of lights. Do...

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Both of these pics are stunning! Congrats!

Hate to burst your bubble Eddy, but that is no effect....Kosey's paw really is in my honey's mouth. He loves mouths....strange cat. Too much fun for words. Dirty - love the vid. Jesse & Coralreefdiver - thanks for the Abby compliments. He really is a great pet. Very inquisitive...
