Peppermints will not eat majanos. They eat aiptasia. You need to make up a kalkwasser paste and inject them in the mouth with a syringe. Do it quickly. If you dont, you will regret it!
Yeap, meant to say aiptasia. I double checked this morning online to make sure I didn't have them confused. I was pretty tired last night.
5 new pics of the new rock arrangement and the peppermint shrimp.

depending on how many aiptasia you have I would add quite a few more peppermints, and I would also either make up the kalk paste and inject them like mentioned above or you could buy yourself some "aiptaisa control" it is made by blue vet aquatics or something like that I have used it myself many many times and it kills them instantly. As far as the peppermints go they will usually only eat the very tiny ones, and it is a hit or miss if they will even touch them anyways.

when you decide to replace your koralia's i would be intrested. and the tank looks good glad to see your powder blue is doing good.i had about 10 or so pepermint shrimp in my 135 and i had some quarter size aiptaisa they took them all out and i have not seen any since
Yeah, I'm going to have to tackle the aiptasia problem another way. Peppermint shrimp is mostly hiding in a rock. I'm going to have to wait till next week though. I got spent my tank budget at the frag swap.
Been a while since I've had an update... I've gotten setup with a Apex Lite which is awesome. Thanks to everyone for the advice to get a controller. I've also sold off my PBT since he was getting pretty aggressive and nipping at corals. Also got a diamond goby. He's really helped with the sandbed staying white, but I am a little concerned that he's getting enough food. He's not eating any rods food. Other than that I've been dealing with some dino algae so I've bumped up my water changes and got some chaeto to help use up any phosphates I can. My camera sucks so I decided to take some video. Some of it is a few weeks old from when I had the PBT and I'm trying to find the right white balance to accurately represent so there's some different blueness values.

Tank Looks good! Like the Video Idea.
Does the Diamond Goby dump sand all over the rock? I would like something to help keep the sand stirred, but I have also seen where some goby's take a mouth full then dump the sand as it swimming across the tank leaving it all over the rock?

That PBT looks great in my tank!
Great thread and tank :thumbsup:
Oddly enough my Elos Kit reads slightly lower than my LaMotte kit, about 0.5-1.0 DKH lower each and every time. No kit is perfect
Have you posted pics of the new sand or are you saving that for the bash?
We got a good camera recently so here's an update finally worth looking at.
Here's a few more...
It has built a den under a rock I have one of the clams on. It's pretty cool cause you can tell it's his home. He's burried some shells of dead nassarrius snails to help keep the den from caving in when he expands it. I've also seen him close up the den for the most part and go to sleep for the night. I haven't seen him come out of the den once he's burried himself though. The funniest thing I've seen him do is pick up a couple nassarius snails that were invading his home and throw them out. I wish I could catch that on video. My sandbed doesn't seem to have enough natural food for him though, but he eats Rods really well. I just hope my once a day feeding schedule is enough for him.
Anyone know of a good way to keep a good supply of food in my sandbed?
