they are GONE!!!
and everyones gonna love this,,,
had a power outtage Wed night,,,well i guess it was s SURGE and thenit went out,, cuz my heater died and i didnt realize it was actually dead until today (temp got down to 69 which is how warm we keep the house) AND it fried my motherboard in my computer which yet again, i didnt figure out until today...
SOOOO BLAH!
and hopefully my new lights get here monday or so,,,,I need somthing to look forward to other than spending $800 for a new laptop and all my mushrooms dying in my tank cuz it was cold for 2 days straight (though my fish and the one sexy shrimp i have left are doing okay it seems!)

bad thing is the cold killed most of my zoas, all of my kenya tree (not nearly as invincible as i thought, lol) and some of my mushrooms, like the nice big green one up front and made my yumas detach from their rock theyve been happy on for 2 years....

yeah doin a big ol 4 gallon water change,,,,my new zebra gobys decided the 1/8 inch space that i keep my flap open for evap was a perfect place to try jumping,,, one made it to the floor,, then i heard the other one hit the flap and fall back in,,,,, which killed him......i am not having any luck lately!!

so after all the crazyness with the heater going out,,, my gobys commiting suicide all that i have added to the tank in the past 2 weeks are 2 itty bitty red legged hermit crabs,,, and ive had a heck of a cyno problem,,,,
I cut down to feeding every third day,,, and did a big 4g water change 2 weeks ago (heating up water to do another 2g change tommarrow) biggest problem im having is i have enough flow....and im testing 0 (here and my lfs 2 minutes away)for nit, phos or ammon.....and i have macro algae in the DT that isnt really doing much,,, I did add the chemipure elite about 3 weeks ago and i also have carbon i run...
I added a nitrate sponge last week when i had a .5 reading,,, now its back down to 0 (wondering should i take it out,,, or just leave it in....)
Also i added my exthraphos back in today (had taken it out about 3 weeks ago when i added the chemipure elite)
I dunno,,, im getting aggrivated and i dont want to add anything else till i get this crazyness under control!!!!
