I'm really hoping removing the xenia will help improve my water quality, and in turn, SPS growth. Plus I now have tons of extra space for future additions.

We also got to go see Fishytime's tank in person, very sweet! I'd definitely recommend a visit if you can!

Doesnt it feel good?....I remember how good I felt when I cut the last of the xenia out o my tank.

Only took....what six months to get yous two over to have a look....Thanks for the comp guys.

I'm so happy to have the Xenia out of the tank. Some of my pieces that weren't doing so hot have stopped declining. The skimmer isn't pulling out as much crap, the tank water is that much cleaner and clearer. So all in all, it was a great move to get that stuff out of my tank, and I wish we'd done it sooner.

Pictures from this morning!



A few of my resident clams






My favorite as of late

One of the aformentioned colonies that had started to go downhill prior to the removal of the Xenia.

Operation Kill those &%#$ Mojano Anemones has begun!

I injected all the ones I could get to with Lemon juice, my first method of attack. So far it seems like Lemon Juice is a fail. Next up Kalk. paste, although I'll save that for next week.

Water change and skimmer cleaning has been completed for the week. We have also once again been assured about our skimmer collection container, it definitely works, no smell until you crack it open.

catherine do you have the collection vented out side then you would not get the humid air from the skimmer

The collection container vents out the top.

This morning my bristletooth tang started looking different. Its suddenly developed a yellow backend, almost like an Orange Shoulder tang.

Oh! Unfortunately at this time its not an option without some additional renovations.
