My RBTA has been moving around for the last week. Not far, just 6" or so, and he is on his own island so he can't do much damage as long as he stays attached. Freakin nem is stressing me out waaaaaaaaaay more than the alkalinity being at 17 dKH. :lol:

One of my maxi minis decided to take a walk awhile ago, very annoying. I see him every once in awhile always in a different spot. Wish he'd pick a spot in the open where I can see him and stay there!

Hope your RBTA settles down

Walkin nems is scary in a tank full of coral! :eek:

The alkalinity is down to 11 dKH this morning, so it precipitated nicely for me. Just have a white tank now. :lol: I guess I'm cleaning pumps this weekend...it could be worse!

They don't all grow fast. I have some that grow painfully slow. I have two frags that I've had for 2 years that haven't grown any significant amount. Besides that, the less I mess with things the faster they grow. The KISS theory goes a long way. :D

thats quite the evolution Mindy....looks good these days.....and as you know KISS is my mantra too:wink:

Myka 01-05-2012 01:53 AM

I am not the KISS extremist that you are Doug! Your particular KISS theory gives me nightmares! :eek:

Just a note, that Purple Frilly gorgonian just right of middle grows really well for me. I frag it regularly to keep it the same size otherwise it would overgrow the tank. I have fragged off probably just about the same amount that is there, so it has almost doubled in 2 years. My other photosynthetic gorgs are typical gorgs and don't grow very fast at all.
