Phyllangia sp.

They are aposymbiotic, so if you want to give them a chance you will have to feed them several times a week. I have quite a few and after six months they are reproducing by forming new buds. I feed flakes, krill and brine shrimp regularly.

I think you can also rotate the face plate.

My 10 gallon has a 5.5 gallon refugium and I am all but overrun with pods and nitrates have always been zero. The bigger, the better.

Take a look at a post entitled "electirc bill" posted by xxchris060 in October.

Sorry to hear that, and hope it heals quickly. If you do need to go to the doctor you may want to mention Vibrio and/or Mycobacterium marinum. Here are a couple articles to check out. http://www.animalnetwork.com/fish2/a...ce/default.asp http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-0...ture/index.htm

Just two shrimp in a 10 gallon with a 5.5 gallon refugium.

Here is a close-up.

I came to check-in on the progress of my water change a few hours ago only to find a legion of peppermint shrimp larvae in the tank. I can only hope that a few might make it in the refugium. The green tint in the photo is DT's.

I was lucky. All I have found are two isopods, but tons of good stuff. I only have about 15 pounds and on that there are 5 types of macro algae and plants, too many Cladocoraand other corals, sponges, worms, pods, urchins, limpets, snails, brittle stars, clams, and who knows what I am...

Here is my gulf rock on the first day.

Was the water dechlorinated before entering the ro membrane? If I am not mistaken chlorine can damage some types of membranes.

These were hitchhikers. I thought they might be white ceriths but after looking at Kip4130's post on snails I'm not sure; they don't exactly resemble his photo example of a white cerith. Then I thought perhaps a trumpet snail but again the shells do not match the photos I found. Sprung has a...

That cerith is from the Sea of Cortez west on Mexico. These are from the east, from the gulf.

And the other.

I think I have narrowed it down to cerith but I'm not certain. Anyone have any ideas? Here are some pictures.

No mention of the flashlight and extra batteries sitting beside the stand for after-hours viewing?

I think I remember reading a post some time ago about someone using a rubbermaid tub and old tank water to grow phytoplankton outside in the sun during the summer. I may be wrong or it may have been macro growing but that would be an ideal situation with respect to ease.

If you're interested smarls give me an e-mail and we can work something out.

That's on the "to do" list I just have not done it yet. Thanks for the kind words all. Also, I have a few Cladocora sp. frags for those interested; they are pieces that broke off during shipping but all are in great condition, and as you can see I have plenty.
