I've got a Kenya tree also... I pruned him a couple of weeks ago, he's about ready to glue down. Before I pruned him it was 4-5 inches tall.

Will any of you be representing PNWMAS in TRT's nano-tank build-off? http://thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89207

Dippin61, do you have a photo you could post?

Xenia hosting Tomato Clown My Tomato Clown has given up his powerhead for pulsing xenia. How's your 'dud' doing?

My Tek light has tripped my GFI on a couple of occasions. I diagnosed it by turning off one pair of bulbs and then the other to see which was tripping it (sounds like the approach you are taking). On both occasions I had to clean salt creep from the end of one of the flouorescent tubes.

I haven't.

I had no idea there was a Puget Sound King Crab. Did a quick search and found this... http://www.seaotter.com/marine/research/lopholithodes/mandtii/html/0mandtii.jpg.html What a neat looking crab.

I wonder if someone who has some halides would be interested in a frag to see if it colors up like your ora b-nest. Might be a fun experiment.(scratch)

nu2reef-n- Thanks.

I read it as an either/or sort of question at first. Think of it like this: Are you spending more time... since the weather turned stormy and wet? Yes or No?

You're right, it did look alot like that when I first got it. Unfortunately, I can't put it much higher in the tank.

A photo update Here it is after 7 more months... You can see the digi's from the first post of this thread in the background.

New Full Tank Shot Here's a current shot- someone at work is asking to see it. Thought I would share it... Notice the Tomato clown has given up on his power-head and started hangin' in the pulsing Xenia. And a close-up of the blasto...

Not the red bubble algae, the orange/brown coral behind it. Looks like Montipora.

I discovered a coral in my tank this morning I never intentionally added... Sorry for the lousy pictures. It has a total of 6 polyps. Do you suppose it's a hitchhiker on the rock or did something in my tank reproduce or is it just a frag that broke off and settled there?

Really nice, thanks.

Rename them 'Hot Pastel Pink Zoa Munchers LE' and resell them for an emormous profit?

I understand how to post images from photobucket... Can you do the same from Google's Picassa?

No need to apologize- it's nice to have you back.

My daughter Claire was wondering where we could get on of those treadmills for our cleaner shrimp. Drs. Foster and Smith? Marine Depot? Step up LFS...

Very nice.

3 inches of med. grade sand (on top of a plenum) doesn't seem quite deep enough for a deep sand bed but deep enough to contribute to nitrates. How often is the filter sock cleaned or replaced?

Have you confirmed your test kit is accurate? Take a sample to your LFS as a double-check. Do you have any other symptoms of high nitrate? Algae growth? It seems to me you have plenty of live rock for the size of your system. How deep is your live sand? What kind of water to you use to top-off and to make up your salt water? Have you tested it for nitrates?
