Thanks. And forgot to mention what a beautiful tank you have. Are you satisfied with the Oceanic skimmer? The only alternate I'm contemplating is the SR3.
Yes absolutely I love the skimmer especially for the price. I am not into modding my cube out to spend tons of money on what IMO it should already be able to do. So this was what I think to be a good compromise.

Yes very much so thank you... everything seems to be going back to normal... (knock on wood).
Good stuff. I remember seeing a thread a while back where you were trying to find out why your tank was fallow. Did anything ever come of it?
PS congrats on page 11!!

Apparently, I was cursed with 2 fish that died from acclimation shock and another that had a bacterial infection from where I bought it from. The last fatality was from a colony of xenia in my tank that melted and I hadnt noticed it. It fouled my tank pretty good and my pygmy angel couldnt handle it.

Ah ok. So I bet plenty of preparation is going into making sure these beauts go in well. I saw an angel like yours today at the FS, very nice ones.

Nice tank!! I like your Gorgonian!! What kind of Gorgonian is it?

Thanks, its a purple brush gorgonian, Muriceopis flavida. They are photosynthetic but not high light demanding. They are eaiser to care for because they dont require as frequent feedings as the non photo ones do. I love it, it has brown polyps but the outter skin of it is bright bright purple.

Veeraj, yes the purple stuff is coraline algea. It is a by product of a maturing tank and ideal calcium levels. 400 to 450 is the ideal range and the use of actinic lighting also helps. Its been shown that coraline algea grows faster under actinic lighting.

I wont be fragging the sun coral anytime soon, sorry. I spent a few weeks nursing it back to good health and I havent had it very long. Once it grows I have no problems fragging it but I would want it to get at least double in size before I do.
As for the Zoas, My specialty colors I dont have a lot of I need them to grow a bit more. I am starting a 36gal bow front so I want to use what I have to help supply that tank too.
Having said all that I do want to frag and trade or sell some of my stock but it hasent grown enough just yet for me to let any go. Once it has I will definatly post up and tell everyone. I love my Zoa collection I have about 7 different color morphs.

Thanks KAT, yea if you look at the FTS pic right in the middle of the pic where the cave is. Look at the lower right of the opening of cave you can see a few tenticles. I didnt take a real good FTS tomorrow I will though.
