I Did It

ouchie, make sure you tweeze any bristles out of your fingers if it left any behind . If you cant tweeze them, try chewing gum

I personally found that running around the house monty python style shouting profanities worked a treat

Well I finally took the plunge and got a small frag for the tank. We'll have to see if it stays alive for a measureable amount of time now and that will be the deciding factor on where I go next with this tank. I got a little colony of zooanthid polyps and an even smaller colony of star polyps. Also I got a very small star of some sort with the frags along with some HUGE copepods or other crustaceans that were hiding in there, oh, and another fireworm .

Oh And for Skifletch, here's a cruddy full tank shot that I took. You asked for it so enjoy!

wow it's been quite a while since I've checked in on the nano forum. I've been having a good bit of success with my tank since then, the frags I mentioned last have been doing swimmingly (no pun intended) they have each at least tripled in size and water stats have been going on autopilot. I never get nitrate or anything else so I'm basically doing waterchanges just to freshen things up.

I'll try and get pics up soon.

Here's the new rock setup!

I think it is much nicer and allows for more open sandbed inside the tank!
