My Progress - Question Topic

[Big Chika]

Here is a pic of my tank that I have had for about 4 months. I finally got some good lights setup on it so hopefully there is more growth from now on.
Levels before light on Sunday 7/24/07
Amonia 0
Ph 8.2
Alk High (need test with actual number reading
Nitrates 40mg/L
Nitrites 0.2mg/2L

Going to redo the rock when I get more and maybe change out the sand to some lighter color sand.

One of my crabs has hair. Why?

I found this guy too.

Tank looks good. Why would you change to a lighter sand? It looks pretty light to me, it may just have algae growth. Disrupting your sand bed may cause your tank to cycle again. That is a feather duster in the bottom pic.

That's what I kind of figured about the crab. He just looks kind of funny. Hopefully the feather duster grows well. I want to add some more stuff in there later just want to wait a few more months.

I had these a while ago. They were given to me but the had fatal endings.

Looks good so far. The green star polyps should come back, just give them time.

I hope so. I found three of them sticking out earlier today.

 

[drummereef]

Yeah, if the polyps have been bugged they will close up. Sometimes for days. GSP is one of the most hardy corals you can get. Keep your water params in check and they will return.

 

[Big Chika]

Well they disappeared about a month ago so I can only hope and keep the water good.
