Bumma

Thanks Wasp good advice: I will just go with what I am growing well

It doesn't take long

Wasp have you heard of Chaetomopha algae and can you get it NZ, I have just found something interesting on it on RC

I think the sand was the problem with my change over.

What about this then: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showt ... t=bacteria

Steve is that tank yours or one you set up for someone?

Star polps organ pipe xenia and other like it

Yes I had the problem before I was using Bio digest Its not just leathers I'm having problems with I have grown all these things with no problems before. I have put in extra carbon (better keep my eye on the Anemones after last time) and I will try Bens stuff can't remember the name of it. Wasp do you have any ideas?

Thanks for the kind comments Brianemone and reef. Yes it could be something like that reef but my mushrooms are fine what could I do if it is that. I have two streams in the big tank with two big powerheads behind at the bottom and one stream in the cube with two small powerheads at the bottom the flow seems just right for what I am growing. I have been adding Bio Digest should I stop.

These silly things are at the top of my tank and love it.

What do you mean I have always dosed. If you mean the stuff I got off you no I have gone back to dosing Seachem Kalkwasser. I do about 60ltrs top up a week it keeps my calcium spot on. I have stopped dosing Mg for now at Steve suggestion we all can't figure out why I can't keep leathers etc all the things I lost in the change over I have given several goes again with no luck. Going to Auckland on Wednesday Ben is getting something to treat my water and also going to see if he can get my water professional tested before I try again. Haven't had to dose for KH remains stable.

These photos are of the cube tank: First go at clams Having something to eat There is a clown in there some where

Get rid of it they breed like crazy and eat coraline algae.

No that's a rock flower Anemone not sticky very pretty like lace.

I fed the tank last night and just measured the spread of my big Anemone 60cm (2ft) What did you say about a bigger tank Brianemone

Had this one for years

Yea thats it's colour it was that all over when I got it, has only started to go green. I can see it's liitle feeder things out down in the brown part

This little attention seeker was in front of the camera every where My first attempt at a spiky looking coral, it was doing good until it fell upside down into my hammer coral, now one of its spikes is bleached The zoo stuff coming back in the nem good, and my these saddlebacks are pigs doubled in size since I got them.

No sorry I don't want to leave my clowns homeless

Thats not the one I had trouble with that's it's normal white ring around the top yea it's a nice one

My first attempt at a Monti. This Monti wasn't doing well when I got it so as advised I broke it up, I have done a layer arrangement I saw it done in a photo once and thought it looked good when established These two have laid more eggs this morning, third lot!!! Didn't even make a difference shifting them up higher. Night photos with halides off shows up green, had to take with flash.

Some of the below photos have been edited with Microsoft Digital Image 2006 suit edition. I only used auto fixes so as not to give a false impression, I bought the Image suite for the shop I am selling my own Photos of the Port on Post Cards now. I have Photoshop but bought Microsoft because it is much easier to use. It cost $200 but you can get a free trial off the net This photo was stitched to get the tank close because it is 2.7long it is hard to get a close up of the whole tank. Haven't cleaned the back wall lately because I have a fish that only lives off algae and there is not a lot on the rocks now. You may have noticed I have shifted the left side Anemone to give it more light. Add some more later got to go and do some work
