For the first 2 years it was quite branchy, it's only since its been in the 175g thats it started growing sideways in a tableing manner
This is an old picture of it in my 75g

I bought a new weapon for my war on red bugs. Has anyone had any experience/luck with dragon pipefish eating redbugs?
He so far doesn't seem to mind the flow in my display, one very cool fish :mrgreen:

I've kept them before and they are very cool. The flow doesn't bother them since they mostly just "snake" around. They will mostly just eat various pods in my experience but I never had the bugs for long and it was a few years ago.

Thats all mine seems to do at the moment as well. He does try to eat cyclopeeze floating in the water column which is kind of amusing to watch :lol:

I think my coral buying days are over for a while, once the frags I bought fill in (and it looks like that won't take long) my tank will be stuffed to the brim

I see some new stuff in there. Been a while since I've seen your tank. I might have to come over for a looksee. That CBB has grown quite a bit since I seen him last.

I think the whole right side of the tank has changed since you were last over, I added 40lbs of new rock :lol:
Your welcome to come over for a look see anytime

The cbb has easily doubled in size since I bought him. He's my second favourite fish

STOP peeing in the tank lance let it go

I know someone with a large tank and lots of room that would be happy to help thin things out :D Those last pieces I got from you are doing most excellent, Thanks.
