had one of my silly SAPs jump the tank again ... ended up in with the Koi and Comet. Poor little guy really took a beating in there.

On a better note: I fixed my surface skimmer, CO2 diffuser and 2 power heads. Now we got some real movement in the tank :)

I havnt been on here in a while since it was crazy for a while trying to pull up a thread. I really havnt done much today been really busy with school just getting finished with midterms. I did find something cool the other day in my tank. A couple bright red ball nems. Not sure how they got there but thats the joy of a sw tank; you never know what your going to find.

My betta died :-( I fed him his usual pellets this morning, then a few minutes later I was looking at the tank and he was still and dead. He was perfectly upright, in the position like he had just swallowed a pellet. I don't know if he choked or ?? He was one of my fave bettas ever, and wasn't even 2 :-(

Damn what a sh***y day :-(
I started a little 15g sw tank just for fun a few weeks ago. Scavenged the LR and sand from the other tanks. Waited, tested, and all was fine, so I added some hermit crabs and a brittle star. All was still well so I added a tiny little yellow coral goby. I love them but didn't want one in my reef tank so I thought it would be nice and easy. He was tiny and a little thin but had a great appetite so I figured he'd fill out. He's been doing GREAT for a week or so, eating like a pig and getting friendly. This evening I went to feed him and he didn't come to the front so I looked around and he was behind the rock on the sand, pale and breathing heavily. He died shortly after :-( No idea what got him. 0 ammo, 0 nitrite, and 0 nitrates.
I really think it's just crappy luck, not a water problem or anything, but it really sucks :-(

Nope, just hang out in them, so it makes the polyps retract. They might also spawn in them. Mind lay eggs under the plating Monticaps. What SPS do you have?

I have some orange and purple monti caps and a digi, some acro, and a birds nest. I'm not worried about the montis but the acro is just starting to show some really nice colors and I'm quite attached to the bird's nest...they were super-cheap damaged frags from a closing tank at the lfs and are thriving but still small...
