Hey there good looking............

Well I was just looking for future reference. Seems like a good thing to do if anyone finds a problem later down the road if it worked and did not kill of any of the nitrifying bacteria.

The new Cube is looking good.

I love the red brain!
Good pic with the watchman!

Thanks, FISHERMON!~

I'll have to get a pic of the brain when it's all fluffed out real pretty.

The watchman is a cutie. Very active little one, his name suits him well; he certainly likes to watch everyone and everything....

Hey there, yourself, Henry!~

I really was going to try it, but then got worried that I would kill off more good than bad, so decided that I should just be a risk taker and then tackle any nasty critter I encounter head on and with confidence.


(yeah, I just made myself laugh too)

I moved the torch from this tank into my 29 and took the one from my 29 and put it in here and also added a small rock with pink star polyps on it.
Came home from work and saw that the brain opened beautifully for me today, so I took more pics!~





and... my Picasso clowns were ordered today from here and will be here Saturday!~
(No comments from the peanut gallery, please... aka Matt
)
Next Saturday, I pick up my Aussie Elegance and my 3 polyp frag of Duncans.
That's all that I have "planned" for this tank!~

Thanks!~ I guess it helped that I used cured LR that went directly from tank to styrofoam cooler with water right into my tank, LS, plus water from my 29 gallon. So, after 5 days with no signs of a cycle and all parameters stable, this is what I ended up with.

I really don't want to stock this tank too heavily with corals. Like I said, I only plan to add the elegance and the Duncan frags. Then maybe some daisy and clove polyps.... and maybe some frogspawn. THERE... that's it!

I found two aiptasia's on a piece of LR today. It wasn't on one of the nice colored ones, so I was half tempted to just take the rock out and toss it.

What's the best way to get rid of them? Joe's Juice? Lemon Juice? Boiling water?

Help?

The last two days, by the time I come home (around 6pm or so) it's been having it's feeder tentacles out and I've been putting pieces of mysis, brine and krill in its tentacles and it will move it to its mouth and puff up real happy, so I guess a happy brain is, well... a "happy" brain.
The one in my 29 at work, I only see it during the day, and I've never seen it's feeder tentacles out, but it's always fluffy and happy, and I've never fed it.

When you get your brain, I'd love to see a pic!
