At least you have something nice taking over... i have too many glass anemones..killing some really choice zoos. What is the best way to kill them? i hear Joe's juice is good. Where can i get some of those glass anemone eating nudis?? Meleev has some.

One peppermint shrimp took care of all of mine in 2 days and I haven't seen any since.

You need a bigger tank RJ!

Horkn

Just because you don't have measurable trates doesn't mean they aren't there, sort of. The algae absorbs it as it is produced so you won't measure it in the water. Mine are just trace and when the macro died back a little in the fuges (lack of light) I had a small hair algae outbreak in the tank.

You got that right.

Dont peppermint shrimp also attack some softies?

 

[Codeman00]

I've never heard that..but I guess its possible. A friend of mine got a peppermint for his nano at the same time I got mine..all of his aiptaisa is gone too.

Interesting.. Flipturn88 (Kayla) reported it attacking some of her zoos/ric. I guess i'll give it a try, better than chemical concotions.


OK
I am going to get another powerhead to increase the flow to my tank. I was thinking a mj 900 or should i go with a 1200? I have a canister that pumps about 250 a mj 900 and a return pump that is about 200gph with head cal and everthing. I want to get a moderate number of sps but also want to keep lps. Any suggestions? I want to keep this cheap. I may ask for a Tunze 6010 for x mass. Plumping confuses me, but maybe i could handle it. But what would be a cost effective pump under 100 that would give me some brisk flow?

You gotta put one of these lamps over your tank RJ. My stuff is either frags or been fragged getting ready for the tank change. Your tank would look insane with one of these lamps.
