Unhappy Chalice

Today i added a new frag. a bright red chalice coral. really nice. so now i want, one, maybe two more pieceS and this tank will be fine. i had an overgrown tank before the crash, and not wanting that again. i also removed my kenya tree and devils hand. trying less soft coral (only kept sinularia and zoas) As i understand they can be rough on small tanks. worth an experiment. still at 17 -18 Corals. not too bad. Cant wait for the growth cycle!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I demand PICS!

On a side note, you may want to get some Tigger Pods or some other such thing to help your Scooter along, if you haven't already... they are like mandarins, and will need supplemental feeding in a small tank. Unless he's trained on frozen, in which case, RIGHT ON! (I love dragonettes )

Default Uh oh

I have some sort of red algae growing, it seems, exclusively on my zoas. it almost peels Off by hand it little sheets. it is preventing them from opening. anyone seen this or know how to cure it? once i remove this stuff, the zoas Open again.

Hmm, could be similar to the evil red fuzz that I had. It never got out of hand for me (and never grew on anything since the tank is new)...


Is it like the furry red spots in this pic? If so, my blue legged hermit devoured it overnight, but there was only a few scattered areas with it. He also ate the burgundy velvet stuff that was growing on the rocks (it wasn't cyano, it was some other kind of algae).
