Check with your LFS and see if they have live black worms. My Copperband went nuts over them. He also ate all my mini feather dusters but the Apstaisia was last on his food menu. Also, make sure that your water is very clean. Copperbands are extremely sensitive and will not tolerate less than...

Well first you get a really big sledge hammer.............

How about an Iodine dip?

I would think 5 would be OK with RO water but I would think the DI filter would take it to 0. My DO filter took my water to 0.

GUMBY!

Hey George, if I knew you were setting up another cube, I would have sold you my 12 nano, with built in lights and filter. It was only set up for a month and now its been sitting in its original box for 2 years.

Well last month I started a thread that was kind of a singalong to the Sponge Bob Square Pants theme. This time I think we should sing the theme to Gumby. Lets see who remembers the words. WE all will post only one word and the next person posts the next word. I will start it here. He

One other thing, shortly after putting the Xenia back in the tank, the polyps will protrude through the netting, dont worry. But when it is time to remove the netting, gently massage the Xenia with your fingertip and the Xenia will shrivel up. This will make it a lot easier to remove the netting.

You're better off to get some bridal veil netting. Just snip off the stalk that you want to frag and then place it on the rock, cover it with the netting and secure with rubberband. It will adhere itself in about 2 or 3 days. Its a lot easier and a lot less messier this way. Go here and look for...

Just helping to keep your thread alive.

Well its not a blessing because I tried for two years before I could keep Xenia alive. I had my nitrates at zero and as high as 80 with no luck. It just would survive until I started dosing Iodine.

Not everyone has luck in having Xenia grow like crazy. I am one of those unlucky persons so I supplement mine with Iodine.

I would suggest you buy a knife handle or find a better way to cut the frags. One slip and you could possibly contaminate your tank with blood. Also since some corals give off toxins while fragging, you could possibly contaminate yourself. Just a suggestion.

Not a problem, I should still have some frags. If not I can frag some for you? This is George isn't it?
