what percentage and how often are you doing water changes?

Seriously!......not one drop of the big three......believe me, Im every bit as surprised as most people that the tank looks like it does with no dosing......my coral growth hasnt been impressive but 95% of it looks good

without doing the math, I do about 15% every two weeks-ish....20g on 130g

and I know I shouldnt have because I'll be moving soonish, but I just couldnt resist.....they have always been one of my faves.....I didnt even know he was at the store until I fed the tank at the end of the day yesterday.....little bugger shot out of his hidey hole and took a piece of ocean fresh plankton that was almost as big as him......this is the worlds smaller and cutest ever starry blenny (maybe 1 1/2" big)

so Ive been having a huge aptaisia problem lately.....Ive tried Kalk paste.....Ive tried aptaisia destroyer.......Ive tried a bug zapper.....all these things just seem to anger the pests and they come back with a vengeance.....I was out and about and popped in to a competitors store and they had a small CBB....I asked the gent to feed him and he ate some brine.....so I nervously took him home, wondering who of my crew would jump him in.....my powder blue tang was the first to start the harassment....he pestered the CBB for a couple days, then on the third day the PB seemed to have calmed down and the CBB was cruising around the tank acting normal.....I thought I was in the clear......wrong!.....then my yellow tang started to chase the CBB.....between the two tangs the CBB was stressed to the point of not eating and was starting to look thin.....I had to do something so heres what I came up with....

this was not an easy fix......I couldnt just slide on big piece of eggcrate in because of the euro-bracing on the tank and because of the rockwork....so I had to finagle three small pieces in and ziptie them together inside the tank....do you have any idea how hard that was???

.....it took dang near an hour to do......there are some small openings at the bottom of the eggcrate where the smaller fish can get through but the big bullies cant.....Im not sure how long I will leave the divider in there.....I feel bad that my tangs are in a three foot tank atm but I need this CBB to fill in a bit and most of all start helping me with my nem issues....

another update.......back in V1 of the tank I got in on a group order from Ottawa Inverts and got a frag of yellow birdsnest......I loved this BN and it quickly became one of my favs in the tank.....I of course lost it in the big crash and have been trying to find a similar piece ever since.....I was recently over at another canreefers place buying some books he had for sale and I managed to convince him that his colony from the same OI order was big enough to frag.....he did so and I now have it back......thanks a tonne Scott!!!!.....you rock!!!

and a few more randoms

Wow...looks like it was a real PITA to get the egg crate in there....lol, well at least the CBB should have a stress free time pickin away the the little boogers. Not sure if it's the time of year or what, but I've been having the same problem the last few weeks.....I haven't seen an aptasia in my tank for a long time.......now poof! I found five, the aptasia X seems to work, but there have been a few resistant SOB's that keep coming back

Love the Birds Nest......that's high on my list of next purchase's
