OK, Photobucket is back

Here's some shots of the Nudis heading for the rocks
Hold on to your seats folks, these pics are gonna ... ummm ... put you to sleep

Thanks for the thoughts Kenny

I haven't decided yet what to do with the tank
I may expand things and encorporate a scrubber .... not sure yet what I'll do

I have ideas of moving things in my office around and installing more tanks

Over the next week or so I'll try to catch the shrimps, but I think I'll have to buy more Nudis

I was going to post some pics, but Photobucket is down ...

Just courious - since I'm new at this - is the intorduction of the Berghias to control aiptasia

An attempt to, yes

The obvious happened ...
The Peppermints got lazy. As soon as I added fish the shrimp got a free ride with all the food floating around and don't appear to need to eat the aiptasia anymore

Keep us posted how they work out, I added peppermints as well that haven't touched the aptasia in my tank. If they work for you I may give them a go too!

Tank looks awesome!

Oh no.....please don't tell me you're battling aiptaisa. That sux.....I had a couple but quickly terminated them. That was a couple months ago. I too have peppermint shrimp so if I did have any more aiptasia since then, I think the pep's probably would have destroyed them as well.

Oh well I guess it's all part of the game. Best of luck with your fight my friend.

Will do, and thank you
Can't wait for it to fill in a bit

Not to worry yet. None of the current aiptasia are any bigger than cloves
It's more a pre-emptive strike right now rather than a full on war

Saw a berghia last night, so the peppermints haven't eaten them all ... yet

Bought more coral yesterday

I got a Purple Valida bansai acro, a red and a green acro, a wedge of green and, I think, yellow leptastrea, a nice green florida ric, and both some blue and some green zoas
All small stuff, so don't stay tuned for any major pics

Everything else is doing well
Algae is still under control
Hector and Bennie have eaten all the Isopods, so I hope the Hector's learns to eat mysis soon ....
The foxface is finally used to me having my hands in the tank, so no more worries about getting stabbed

Oh, I got 8 days out of my new felt socks and washed them before they were overflowing
Far cry from the old mesh ones, so, very happy there
Plus, they washed up very nicely

Nothing else to write home about Ma ...

Pics soon ...

New acans - the red is a rescue

Don't know why I thought the leptastrea was green and yellow
It's actually burgandy, green and baby blue

Purple valida bansai. Can't see the purple in this shot. It'll show up as it grows

Ric garden, although I don't think the yumas are going to make it

No pics of the new zoas - they're too small right now

Moved things around a bit
Octospawn is much happier in it's new spot
