They look like majano nems. I would burn them off if you can.

 

Your what is the rock questions though is still a mystery to me.

if they are. does aptasia X kill them? they almost look like the tips of a xenia to me but my initial thought is majanos that's why I ask. it's just crazy to me that it seems that the whole rock is a creature I wish you guys could see it in person.. it's crazy

well here it. it looks like the whole rock is the creature.

also here are a few other things on the rock that I'm not sure what they are. some of them I wonder if they are those things like aptasia that I don't know quite what they are called m.... something

the whole rock

the rock open

I moved the light and it closes

the things I'm worried are the m.. somethings

some bumpy thing vaguely looks like a ricordia but I'm pretty sure it's not

so this a little odd to me... I bought a small piece of LR (it's just a little smaller then a baseball) for my 10g. when I got home today I noticed that it has a small crack down the middle that's about 1/4 inch wide. while feeding I bumped the light a little and the crack closed and then slowly reopened. on close inspection I see some very small life on the rock spaghetti worms and a few other things I can't id however I think I see something like a clams mouth in the crack... it's kind of hard to tell what it might be. anyone ever seen anything like this? I'll try to take a picture but I don't think I have the proper equipment to take a picture of something like this.

how's about 43?

Thanks Westside!

I always appreciate your willingness to answer all my questions and giving me great deals when I come in. Sorry that I apparently stole a bunch of snail and hermit crabs (I found them in my bag though I never asked for them (scratch) ) I'll give then a nice home as I needed some more anyway. (laugh)

welcome to the board. as a side note here: are the dart frogs difficult to keep? I've always wanted a frog. I've never kept a frog other then little African dwarf frogs and small tree frogs I used to catch as a kid.

Where do you think I got my info Grim is a cool guy!

 

Reefgeek has all the T5s you could ever want and they stock the KZ bulbs. You should really look at switching out the aquablue special with a new gen KZ. The aquablue special is kinda yellow and I have heard the KZ new gen is a great bulb.

http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_Fluorescent/Bulbs/Korallen_Zucht_%28KZ%29/54W_New_Generation_14000K_T5_HO_Fluorescent_by_Korallen_Zucht this one here? if so sure I'll give it a shot.

how does the group buy from BRS work anyway? I saw it on there but that's something completely new to me.

I am having trouble finding the Purple plus bulb online

I contacted grim reefer and got his response of

2 ATI Blue Plus

1 ATI Aquablue

1 ATI Purple Plus.

so thank you madmike as you say the same thing. now.... Where should I shop for these? I'm pretty clueless here...

I have seen his name around while researching this myself. contacting the guy seems like a good idea perhaps I'll give it a shot.

So I have a 48" 4x54w T5 fixture and am just curious about good combos as I'm just using the ones that came with it. DOH!

I talked with Frank for a bit today When he dropped off a frag for me and suggested I talk with ..... I forgot (scratch).... so I'm just asking for everyone's opinion .(clap)

This is my brothers tank. He has south american cichlids in it currently but needs to get rid of it. he just moved and discovered that the tank is starting to make his floor sag so he wants something smaller and wants to start a new reef. his current one is 29g and has hardly anything in it.

$975 for everything

Looks like someone is going to.....

it's going to be mine I like this forum I'm new and already have gotten 2 new corals (rock2)

here's my fiance's 10g reef too ... not much to look at yet though.

Oh i'm not involved with it either' date=' i am involved in the teco growout, i'm just offering my services as well like you to help out Eric. We've done alot for each other and I have no problem with helping out the fellow reefers around here, plus i have plenty of space in one of the numerous tanks. [/quote']

 

sounds good to me . I'm just trying to get in good so I can learn more from all of you (laugh) the thought of any coral melting makes me sad so I thought I'd offer lol.

These are nuke greens i wish i had a frag of these for you but i only have a couple of them for now.

i think these are just about ready to frag a couple of polyps.

wow I want those too lol... I'm still learning about all the different zoas and palys.

Sorry Bace thanks for the help. Didn't mean to ignore you!(laugh) This is part of a growout that people bought in for so we are just trying to keep it within the members of the group who bought into this. The offers are appreciated.

 

I'm fine with Reefit getting the speckled PE.

oh I'm not offended or anything I completely agree with it not being me and it going to someone that's actually involved with it (laugh). I only offered because I'm in the same city. BTW it was nice meeting you the other day

New zoas. thanks Kim and Beth

and I just like this picture... was trying to get the shrimp in there too be he wouldn't cooperate.

I only offer because I'm in Beaverton and I'd hate to hear about this melting due to stress in shipping.

I honestly don't really know anything about this grow out stuff as I'm new and only have one friend that is into reef keeping and to my knowledge hasn't posted on here in years.

Feel free not to pick me because of the same above reasons though lol.

I'd offer to help as I am also in beaverton but:

a: I'm not a member

B: my tank is only a few months old

C: I'm fairly inexperianced.

D; I'm not part of the growout

... just saying.

how much work is involved in hatching brine? I kept sea monkeys back in the day so I've done it before lol

I've thought about that too. I've read about them a lot actually. I guess I'm just afraid of failure lol.

my friend gave me the idea of doing a dedicated anemone tank. I like this idea and already have a 150w halide in my closet. currently the tank is still empty.

I'd like to pick up Halo Reach though I think my next game purchase will be New Vegas.

Update on tank: cichlids gone. Half empty tank of water standard 29g tank 30x12x18.
