Nice pics I like the "snow" in the water... it makes it look like a real reef.

Thanks Greenmaster. I have gotten used to having little airbubbles in the tank from my skimmer. It doesn't seem to affect the livestock so I don't worry about it. At least I know my water is super oxygenated. LOL

Well I finally got my berghia nudis in the mail today from berghia.net. Didn't have a single problem with the delivery and didn't have to pay any customs on them (since they are also a registered business in Canada too.)

Here are some pictures of them. Most are a little blurry, since these guys are small but I couple turned out well. I ordered 8 of them to ensure a couple survived going into the tank and to have enough to take care of the aiptasia. I will keep you updated on the progress.

and a couple of my clownfish.

Those are some cool looking bugs... makes me want to get aptaisia just so I can get the bugs

Don't wish on that too hard.. because it will more than likely happen down the road then you will be cursing about it for a while.

Time for my beginning of Sept pix update:

Sebae continues to color up and is now growing in size.

Purple Encrusting sps is now growing since I moved it. This one appears to be a bit of a slow grower.

I put in a small piece of live rock for the two Xenias to walk onto at the bottom of the tank.

I broke off a couple branches of my Purple Tipped digi to keep it from growing into my red digi. I am hoping the frag suvives. If it does, I want to trade a local for a green digi which I don't have yet.

The radioactive dragoneye zoas are growing like crazy, and on the sandbed. The circled area in red, is on the sandbed and will be the area I will be fragging. I want to do a trade with a local for some other colored zoas. Orange or blue.

The small 4 head frag of duncans has been steadily growing. It now has 8 babies growing around the rim of the larger heads. woot.

My blue devil damsel flashes purple from the reflection of my camera flash under actinics.

Two shots showing how much my purple ochtodes has grown. It needs to be trimmed now.

Lastly, for those who wonder how well berghia nudis work to get rid of aiptasia, I have included two pics of two of the areas in my tank where I placed them in my tank. Circled in red are the areas where the little nudis have killed off aiptasia that kept coming back by other methods. Refer to earlier pics in this thread to see the full comparison.
