i like that idea and im going to go with it,thanks..

yup it is,there is a few of them mixed in the clump of chaeto.there probably is some that i cant even see mixed in.i kinda like the idea of just removing it all and adding new stuff.i got the chaeto from a guy on another forum for free so its no biggie to replace it.

so what should i do?ive seen a couple in the chaeto so far.should i take the chaeto out and get some new stuff when i go to the store today?

here is a better pic

i have a cheap camera,sorry.whatever it was is no longer where it was when i took the pic,i cant see it now.ill do my best to get a better pic if it shows itself again.

hey guys,is this a feather duster in my chaeto?sorry for the crappy pic.

thanks man,i appreciate it.well at first im going to get a clean up crew of course.then the first fish will either be a pair of clowns or blenny,not sure yet.ill also be adding a purple firefish goby once thing get going.

i have it in the middle chamber,no cup like ive seen others do.

your tank looks very nice subie,i love it..

nitrates are still at 20,how long does it usually stay this high? i just added a good amount of free chaeto last night so this may help?

yup im mixing my own water using ro.and i have a powerhead in the bucket.the water is usually mixing for close to 24hrs anyway.there is a film on the surface of my tank now,i should have the power head or return pump pointing up to create ripples?

thanks again.should i do something about my ph level?its been at 7.8 since ive started and i see most people have theres in the 8.2 or so range??

thanks,i dont know about mine being better than yours.. tested again today ammonia and nitrites are both zero nitrates are still at 20.would this weekend be to soon for a clean up crew assuming everything is at 0?

i was nervous about ordering online but it turned out pretty good.
