I just cut 3 pieces from my colt. I speared them with a toothpick and rubber banded them to small rubble rock. I took out the toothpick and rubberband after about 2 weeks. Some cuttings may require more or less, but they all should attach pretty quickly. HTH

Hey Burn If I get rid of the macro, which is using nitrates, wont this leave me with an unwanted quantity of nitrates?? Also the DT's I started may be a link, I will cut back but I dont want to cutout totally because I have a gorgonian which is pretty happy so far. Tank has been setup about 6...

Well after posting this a couple of days ago, I went home last night and found both peppermints hanging upside down in a little crevice under some LR ( OK I didnt find them, my 4 yr old daughter did !! but they are there anyways) They seem happy

On Saturday I bought 2 peppermint shrimp. After acclimating them, I put them in the tank and they instantly headed for cover in the LR. I have not seen them since. I did see a small transparent skin in the shape of the shrimp, could he shed or was that leftover from his body (dead). My water...
