    First Tank Fish Selection

    The first fish I put in my tank were bluegreen chromis. They are pretty hearty. I have 5 of them but you could go with 3 or 4. They are inexpensive and it's fun to watch them schooling together. They are also not as aggressive as damsel's so they can be kept in your tank when you start...

    Clown Goby and Diamond Goby?

    I have crushed coral substrate (if I could only go back in time) would a diamond goby clean the crushed coral or are they particular to sand?

    I really don't think it's caulerpa. I have the leafy and grape variety all over my live rock. What a pain! And this is really different. There are no vine like strands and it grew out of the red velvety growth on the live rock.

    My 1st Reef Tank

    Thanks everyone for the compliments. Threed240 you are correct about the aiptasia, been fighting it with joe's about once a week for the past 2 months. I should probably hit it more often. Tried peppermint shrimps but they didn't touch it. It really is a pain! Our tank is a 85 gallon tank...

    HELP!!! Whats wrong with my Finger leather!!!!!

    Winstew I had the same reaction when mine first did that as well. The first time he looked like that for a couple days. Now he's much quicker at it. Sometimes 2-3 times in the same day. Pyro I think you've coined the perfect term. ILS! I love it.

    Camera Decision

    IMHO the Nikon D70s is worth the extra $$$. I haven't used any of those in your list but tried several Canon Digital Elf's and Sony Digitals before upgrading to the digital SLR and I've never been happier with my picture quality.

    My 1st Reef Tank

    The leather coral has been really easy. He's grown quite a bit in the month or so we've had him. He's got a weird personality though. He's always shrinking up and expanding a few hours later.

    My 1st Reef Tank

    Three months sure does go quick. Here are some updated pictures. To the left side we've added a finger leather, hammer and white pulsing xenia. The mushrooms seem to be running for cover to a more shaded area.
