the nitrogen cycle is continuous though isnt it?? :-? dammint now im confused

or is there no rock in it (ie just the sand)??

live rock needs a level of flow to be effective doesnt it??

someone on reefcentral mentioned it might have been a worm (maybe bristle)

nope, everything is looking better than ever (i did a 25% water change right after you left just in case)

that was one of my options, along with it being some kind of defence mechanism

after moving a rock and some coral last night a squirt of red little balls was emitted from something in my tank raeh1 was there at the time so he can back me up. it looked as though it came from the hydnophora but that doesnt seem to make sense, the only other corals in that area are a few giant polyps (like large zoa's with green stripes radiating from the centre???) and some diferent types of sponges (yellow, orange, white and black) any one seen something like this before???

looks like christmas moss to me

i dont have any to "sell" but i have bits and peices that i give away, and if someone has something to trade then great if not no worries

yeah, just something to make it easy to find whos got what to swap

what kind of power heads are you using???

i meant mainly fish and inverts (like crabs and snails), i think our coral selection is pretty good, if you are patient you can find it (generally)

i agree to go as big as you can, make it easier and you pay about the same amount for a three foot setuop and a four foot, sumps are good cause you can put that ugly skimmer and heater in it

elaborate on your setup Cracker

nz still has laws against importing/exporting, thats why we dont have lots of cool stuff

stink, no frags then

are you in NZ???

filtration and lighting are key for Corals all in one systems are ok for mushroom corals but not much else

I guess the wish list could get a little long. How about we start with what we have

is that in NZ or elsewhere??

and maybe what we would like frags of??? i want a blue monti

how about we set up a frag list of what everyone has up for trade/sale

Yeah im pretty happy with the way things are going at the moment in the tankino Have you noticed any groth in your peice of that leather wasp??? if so how does yours seem to grow encrust or branching??? Cause mine seems to be doing both anyone else have some cool pics of corals to add

These are some pics i took today (had the camera out taking pics of the baby) see this link if interested in the baby http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?t=5427 THis is some Hydnophora i got from steve, fron this angle you cant tell but its already grown about an inch since i got it and my favourite leather (untill i get some nice tongan yellow then they will be equal) that i got from wasp, this too has started growing recently after finally attaching

hey pies Stichodactyla tapetum check out these anemones, they seem to be like your little ones
