Just read through the entire thread, epic nano tank.

Really helpful read, hopefully I can get a 20g started myself even though it might be a bit of a ghetto setup lol.
Thanks it means a lot, and don't worry everyone's tanks look bad at first.

So I got this galaxea about 2 weeks ago and it seemed perfectly healthy when I got it but now it is starting to show die off, I will try to get params tomorrow. Anyone have any ideas as to why it could be happening?
It's been moving from right to left and has hit 4 polyps so far.



I hope someone can help me out.

i think this is really a common problem with galaxea's. Mine did the same thing when I had my old 55g 7 years ago. and about the lettuce nudi, it only eats bryopsis. so if you want to keep food for it, send him to me LOL. honestly, once he's dealt with your byropsis, I'd bring it back to the store for credit or sell it to someone that needs it locally.

Did it completely die off? Cause thats no good..........
As for the nudi it has plenty of bryopsis and one of my lfs has it all over the place so I asked if I could get it from them if I ever needed it and they said as long as they have it I can take it. So If they or I ever run out you can have it

I wasn't planning on tossing it is too nice looking

My torch was essentially doing the same thing but I've been keeping it a secret
My flatworm problem was out of control and I needed to deal with it... But now everything is back on track and looking good again. I should have dealt with it earlier but I was too afraid of the toxins killing off everything. Now I know its not a big deal if you wait for the flatworm exit to kick in and then do a giant water change.

I had great luck with both of those corals , I like to target feed everything. I would try shutting off all the power heads and pumps and put some food (phyto , rod's etc...) in a little plastic syringe and give them a little "poof" of good stuff :) I dont know if that will help , but I dont think it will hurt

I have some pics for you people!
Once again my female pom is prego... They must of had a good valentines day
(here's the pair)

I moved my candy canes and they look much better


fts as usual
and I moved some stuff around.

Oh and here is a cool little zoa frag I picked up! Anyone know a common name? This camera doesn't do them any justice, they are soooo bright!

On another note, I've been thinking about getting a flame scallop. What do you guys think about that?

Nope, or at least I have never seen them do anything. And thanks! I love it too, I'm very proud it is starting to look so beautiful. But thats because of all the help I have gotten from everyone on here
