As someone looking to eventually set up a 12G nano, I'm enjoying this thread & am learning plenty here - thanks for your posts... and looking forward to more!

Its been a while since my last update. Bad news... I had a flatworm outbreak. First time in all these years I have ever gotten them. It really bummed me out. I tried using the Blue Life flatworm control and it did absolutly nothing. I had about 100+ flatworms in the tank. I used a siphon and got as much out as I could then used the Salifert Flatworm Exit. I did two 25 percent water changes over the next two days. I haven't seen a flatworm since. I also added a fourth fish which I did not want to do, but I heard sixline wrasse were good at eating flatworms. All in all the tank held up through the exit and I did not lose anything to the flatworms. Here is an updated picture showing some good growth. I am glad I toughed it out and it was frustrating, but now my tank looks good again and I am enjoying it.

sorry to hear that, hopefully you fought trough already..

Wow the xenia is starting to get really big ^^ I think the tank my look even better with a few other corals instead of the xenia

Wow I really like your tank everything is growing so good for you. I love the size of the leather. How big is it exactly? It may just be the picture making it look so big. I love the color of the brain as well!

The leather is pretty big. If I was guessing I would say 5 inches or more wide. I would love to remove the Xenia from my tank as that is one of the biggest mistakes I have made. It grows way to fast and takes over. The rock is buried though and I am afraid to pull it out and disturb the sand deep. Any suggestions on how to remove it?

In a earlier post I thought you had said you returned to LFS for credit? I would just cut them at the base attached them to some small rock and off to LFS for more credit... Tank looks great... Are you just running PC lighting?

 

[Neowind]

Yea currently I am still running original PC lighting. I am seeing growth on the montipora also which is encouraging. Yea I had a plug in the tank which I took to the LFS that was not on a rock.

Anyone have any suggestions on a next coral that would fit well in the tank. I love Zoa's but have two young children and I hear they are extremely toxic so I have avoided them.

Here is a small update photo. Xenia is growing out of control. Gonna have to do something soon about it.

I love your thank! Did you do any mods? Right now all of my back chambers are empty except for a little floss. I am thinking about getting a media rack to run the floss, purigen, and chemipure elite. Would you recommend filling a chamber with rubble? How often do you do water changes and how much? I am feeding heavily my bare bottom system to try and encourage my clowns to breed. Thanks for your time!
