ahhh - right, that makes sense - it's just like cleaning the tank using a gravel cleaner, the joys of gravity!

What powerhead do you have running the flow? I have a MJ 400 and it's so bloody much I've now pointed it back towards the rear of the tank to equalize things a bit.

I have a maxjet 400 too it was great but then I got my clown goby which seems uncomfortable in it. What other options are there?

Well anytime you want another peice I will just replace the first one.
How long was it "stretched out"?I find it does some odd stuff at time. I just leave it and a day or so later it is back to normal.

I think I killed the xenia :( it stopped pulsing and stretched out looking all funny so I scraped it off. Maybe I will give it another shot when I'm brave enough to have another one :)

Thanks!

It was good for about a week and then it kept stretching after that till it didn't look like xenia anymore, and turned pink,and stopped pulsing. Though it but parts of it was beginning to shrivelled up.

I scraped it off just last week.

Taht is a pretty sweet 4 gallon! It must be nice to be able to get cool things , like sexy shrimp. I have not seen a sexy shrimp in calgary in over a year:cry: . I have lots of pom pom crabs and they are full of babies all the time. I really like that sharpe nose goby, cant say I have seen one of those before.

thanks, it's actually a 5 gallon tank now. As I switched it over.

Toooo cute. Love those guys. Shame he hides so much :(

How is the refugium working out for you? Can you take a full top-down shot of the two together?

mixixe 01-05-2007 09:59 PM

I'm confused with my refugium right now. The water in it was level with my main tank before I did a waterchange. After I did the water change, it's water level is much higher and it also spilled one time. So I think I need to adjust the flow of the pump. But when it's working it's great. :)

I will take a picture and post it soon!

I'm goign to try and make a protein skimmer for my tank like imisky's too
