    stupid question re: water changes

    Well, i was just curious...that's how i did it. This was my first water change. When i got finished the glass at the top of my tank that's in the middle there's no water..just some air bubbles????? so i'm thinking is there too much oxygen in here and if so how long before my inverts start...

    What's this growing on my rock?

    Thanks for that website! found out from there it's sargassum algae and is totally normal. Comes along after the cycle is finished and dies off after about 6 months. Thanks again!

    coral banded shrimp

    That would be awesome if that were the case, but i'm not gonna get my hopes up. All that's there are all his little feelers, and his 2 front legs with his little claws. I think he's gone to shrimp heaven. =(

    coral banded shrimp

    Well, nevermind. Turns out he wasn't shy...he was dead. Since i never saw him i have no idea how long he's been dead. All that's left of him are his claws...found him a little bit ago. Can't figure out what would have done it.

    What's this growing on my rock?

    These little green pod looking things pop up on my rock then they kind of open up and turn to this greenish brown looking plant? do i need to get after them with a tooth brush to get them off or what? each one has a few leaves...doesn't look like the rest of the kinds of algae i've seen. Thanks.
