LOL! I sure know how you feel! I bought a dime size one for my
30g knowing that I would have to give it up in a few months. It
got to be that time to let it go and I just couldn't part with my
Hippo. I have a 90 gallon cycling now

By the time it
outgrows this, I'll be ready to upgrade to a 125 or if "life"
allows, a 210.

Justin, unfortuately my camera doesn't come close to replicating what it looks like in person(DUTCH06-you out there?...lol). I do have a few "somewhat" close ups, but with 3mp close ups don't look anything like in person. Anyway, these are about as close I can get and still have the pic look half decent.

Id get fragging on that one.

 

[matt819]

I just did before I took the pic! I brought about 10 stalks of it to the pet store and got a lawnmower blenny and a zoo rock on trade. I don't know why, but they spread super super fast. All my levels are zero...nitrate, trite, ammonia. ph is a little low. it's been like that for a while. ?

Thanks everyone im starting to feel

Thats awesome. . . lol, I'm sure if mine weren't on the sand they would be EVERYWHERE, I should start putting some LR rubble around them and let them go, then find a LFS that will take them.

Here's a crappy picture of mine, started last sunday. Any pointers on how to better arrange the rock?

Btw, its is much clearer today.

 

[mach03infront]

anamilasti do you have crushed coral for a sand bed? is so how do you keep it so nice and clean? you have a pretty colorful tank !!!!

 

[feelingfishy]

Hey ill give you 5 bucks for an good frag of that xenia i now its kinda cheap but i figured you would want me to take some off your hands????

 

[matt819]

plus shipping...you have a deal. It is notorious for not shipping well though. Where do you live?

 

[anamilasti]

yup i have crushed coral. i hate it but i never really touch it, only when i do my monthly waterchange i syphon it lightly.
and thanks for the coment, my new 150 will be even more colorful.
