Thought I'd put an updated photo of my tank. Being on a budget sure makes it slow going in adding corals, but plan on going to my LFS on Tuesday and either get a Candy Cane of a small Chalice. I had to kill of a couple of aptsasia yesterday, only 2 that I could see. I understand peppermint...

Living in Florida and growing up in South Florida, I watched a lot of dredging and channels widened to expand the beaches and allow for bigger freighters. I read this article today and it struck me as very sad even though they plan to move these corals and reef's. To you veteran's of the coral...

Okay sounds like a plan. I do have a phosphate test kit and have been testing, so far so good with that. I keep a log and so far everything has been in the proper parameters. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it that way. Thanks again for the help and have a great weekend.

I finally added the Chemi pure like Kiefers suggested and the water is looking good, but have another question. Right now I'm using sponge, purigen and carbon in the tray on my tank. I did get some filter floss - I'm assuming I use that in place of the sponge, is that right? and also now that...

So sorry to hear, I've been trying to learn about them - it's definitely a bummer.

Speaking of gloves - what kind and where do you get them from??

Thanks!! I'm pretty proud of of my tank right now. Makes me happy!

I'm just reading this thread and being the newb I am I have no advice - just wanted to say really sorry to hear about the loss of your fish. It's very sad. I'm going to head over and read about setting up a QT tank because after reading all this, I think mine is not set up correctly at all...

Here's the picture I promised. A little blurry but lookin good.

Okay, now I understand. I'll give that a try and see how it works. I'm just having so much fun with this tank. I am always looking at it when I'm home and I see new stuff all the time.

Thanks. I have to say my little frogspawn is really doing good or so it appears to me. I will take another picture of it when I get back to my house, but it likes its new home I think.

So you just take that tray out and get a big filter bag and put everything in it without the tray? I'll give that a try and see how it works. Thanks for the info.

I purchased some chemi-pure elite and got the 11.74 oz. jar - well it's so big it doesn't fit in my filter media area anywhere. It says not to split the bag up. I have the JBJ 28 gal Nanocube and use the middle area for my filter floss, purigen and carbon. I was hoping to replace the carbon...

I'll keep them. After some reading sounds like your advice is right on. thanks.

For my own peace of mind I relocated the rock with the mushrooms on it a little further away. All seems to be going good with no problems as far as the corals go. I do have a question about bristle worms. I have found 2 in my tank. I did a search and it seems that they can be beneficial if...

Thanks for the information. Now that I've researched, I know what to look for. Being new at this it's good to learn something new everyday.

That sounds good. However, how will I know if there is a problem, will my mushroom shrink up and stay that way??

I've been reading about the aggressiveness of this coral. It says their tentacles will come out about 6 inches and sting other corals. My question is I have a neon mushroom and a frogspawn in my tank but I think they may be too close together - there is at least 4 inches or so between them and...

Wow, I'm ready to go to Figi-would love to have my camera there.

I'm hoping my clowns will go to it eventually. I'm very happy with the way things are going in my tank. Maybe in a couple of more weeks I'll add either a Leather Toadstool or a Candy Cane - I need to research corals that can sit high up on the rock where it gets a lot of light and in that...
