I just ordered a red feather duster and am receiving it tomarrow and is this any different then the regular old giant feather dusters to care for?

My snails get on mine to. Also the blue legs get up there too. I think sometimes with low current flow you get alittle algae build up on them at night and the snails and such go lookin for it. I could be very wrong though. But mine also get up there. I worry about the blue legs more though...

Be very careful with the ultralife red slime remover It will greatly lower O2 levels. I lost all my fish once over night using it.

You need to use test kits to check your water not an anenome. I have had my blue carpet for over 3 years and my water has had some times where it had really high nitrates and phos. And I finally quit using tape water and that helped alot, but I still have to watch whats going on with good test kits.

Kalk can precipitate phos. from top off water so if you let the actuall white stuff get in your tank you may be adding phos.

I have read that you have to be careful of some mag. products because alot of them contain Amonia...I use Seachem it says no amonia.

My peppermints had some too. I was looking in my refuge laste night and saw a whole mess of these little shrimp swimming around. I'm going to check again tonight and see if any are left. If so I'll get some baby pics. I also saw some other clear crab lookin things I'd like to get a pic of but...

I have heard that most angels will go for corals but I had a koran that never touched one. But if I had known they like corals I wouldn't have bought one.And I don't haveit any more.

Was the new water up to temp befor you added the corals and such? And how cold did everything get out of the tank. You should have re acclimated everything to your new water.

I have always used URI bulbs. I run 3 110watt actinics, and 3 110watt white/actinics. These all sit about 1" off the water of my 75 gal. I have always loved the way everything looks.

I watched a show on discovery about pistols and the snap is used to stun its pray. they flick there claw so fast it makes a shock wave and the sound. They didrect it a pray to kill or stun it. May be a different kind because I can hear one in my tank clicking all night long. And its really loud...
