Huge colony of these metallic GSP's have been doing great. Today, maybe 5% of them are open. I know it's normal for them to hide for a few days, but I thought ALL of them would hide. I tested the water. Everything is good, except trates are around 25. I don't think this would affect the GSP so...
THE SKIMMER IS ON THE WAY! :mad: Why don't you ask the guys at Crapland why it's taking so long?! It's paid for, so I'd better see it soon... Should have gone w/ SWF.com.;) Oh well... My new test kits, including phosphates, is in to but I was waiting on the skimmer to get here to pick up...
So I look in the tank this afternoon, and sure enough, I see it STARTING. A litte purple fuzzy tint to the sand. So, I syphoned it all out along w/ the sand that it was covering, don't worry, there's still about 2 inches of sand left. I replaced about 1/3 of the water. Then, the pump on my crap...
I could trade you some things for some candy!! To frag and trade, I have your average green shrroms, zoos, metalic green stars, buttons, pom poms, blue ricordea, and some other things I don't mind cutting up. LEt me know cuz I'm interested.

I'm friends w/ the lfs guys here so they won't charge me, hopefully. I know, I need a QT.. Which brings up another question: Can I have a nano reef for a QT? I can't see why not.... And I mean NANO, like a couple gallons. What do you think? Thanx!
Your'e a CB fan too eh? It is a thoughy b/t the flame and CB. I cut the top off a clear plastic 20 oz. coke bottle and put it over the xenia which is in the sand. I cut large holes (too small for the CB) all over the bottle to let the water in and out. Can you actually condition these fish not...
Sammy- There are few methods, but some that increase the odds in your/our favor other than cloning, but THAT IS A DIFFERENT BOARD!! LOL!! Oh god, I get this feeling I'm totally screwing myself.:D :cool: It's cool, I'm a cop..... Right Hairtrigger? (grunt)...How ironic-check out my # of posts...
the coral beauty is the only one w/ the visible signs. I added the purple psuedo a few weeks ago, and everybody SEEMS to be getting along fine. No fighting at all. Before the new addition (psuedochromas), i had the coral beauty and my yellow watchman, abd that's all for fish. The CB is not...
