Well, yesterday he took the plunge in the back of the tank and went into full eruption. I got it out before it really started falling apart, but my faithful anenome has now passed . He was looking a little better but then he just shriveled up and turned into a pile of mush. Prior to this he...

Well?? :help:

Here's a pic. Very blurry and and you can't really get a good look at what is coming out, though. The pic makes it look like an old battle scar, but believe me it is not. The is the best pic I could get. Limits on the size of the pics on this site doesn't help much, either. Any ideas? Tom

I wish I could get a good picture of this, but my digital cam does not take quality pics. A month or so ago I noticed a spot on the side of my anenome where it looked like the anenome's insides were coming out. Since then it has stopped accepting food, has a gaping mouth and has started to...

I've got a 29 gallon and I'd say I easily have $1K into it with the live rock, water changes, and livestock. I don't have any more recent pics, but I still have the same critters in there, minus one turbo snail.

OK, tried the net method on a small frag that I cut off what looks like a dying piece of Xenia and nothing. The frag looks OK, but it just will not attach itself to the rubble that I netted it with. It has been about a week and every time I check it it slides right off of the rock. Also, for...

Another great place is Exotic Aquatics in Plano at Custer and Parker. Plano is one of the northern suburbs of Dallas along US75. Tom

OK...question on the net method. How tightly should the net be placed over the rock and frag. I just cut a piece that was at the bottom of the colony and not getting much light and want to do the same thing, but I'm not sure how tight I should put the netting. Suggestions? Tom

We've been warned about the damsels being pesty when adding new fish. Maybe a lionfish is in order instead :thinking: . Should take care of my damsel problem. I wouldn't do htat because a 29 is not big enough anyway. I'll have to figure out what I want to do with the damsels. I have no...

Thanks for the comments! We have three fish in there right now: a blue demon damsel, a black/white striped damsel and a yellow tailed damsel. We may put a pair of clowns in soon as well. We also have a good sized cleanup crew consisting of 12 hermits, 1 sally lightfoot crab, 2 turbo snails...

Here is an updated look at our 29 gallon. We just added the Xenia on the left and the LTA on the right. The LTA seemed pretty happy where we placed him and ended up slowly making his way down the rock to the sand. AFter further research I found out they like the sand better than the rock, so...

Just to follow up...did a 20% water change yesterday. Nitrate reading before water change - ~80ppm Nitrate reading today, after the water change - ~80ppm Time to fuge... Tom

I am experiencing a similar problem in my 29 gallon. I do a 20% water change montly as opposed to weekly or bi weekly at this point as the tank contains a few fish and cleanup crew, but no other inverts. The tank has been running since March and I watch the ammonia and nitrite spikes and then...

Thanks for the info everyone! I've got a 29 gallon that's been running since March 2005. Buildup isn't too bad, but it's enough to really bug me, and the biggest buildup is in the holes of the rock. I'll run my gravel cleaner over it next time to suck it up a little at a time. Not sure...

Just a quick stupid question....I seem to have some sediment buildup on my live rock, and I was wondering if it would be worthwhile the "blow" it off of there with one of my power heads and siphon it out of the tank. Looks kind of like gray dust, and any time any of the crabs or fish touch the...

I'm not really sure yet, and I have not done much research to help with the decision. I may just build my own since there are som many instructions out there, but I am undecided. I'll figure it out soon enough...just have to get the design and materials right for my sump/fuge before I can...
