It's amazing how cool a tank of rock can be!

And soon you may be hit with the dreadful aiptasia =( But atleast it looks nice until you zap it.

 

[Nix]

Speaking of Aiptasia, obviously it's a bad thing, but why?

Is it a really predatory anemone or something?

Whats so bad about them?

I only hear they are evil, but not why they are evil..

 

[SkiFletch]

Aiptasia grow FAST and sting everything. They will take over a tank if left un-checked .

That first hitchiker you posted there is a Spinoid Worm. Good scavengers and large-particulate filter feeders

O ok, that makes sense.

So how do you go about getting rid of aiptasia.

I believe the best way is using a syringe with lemon juice. Poke the aiptasia with the syringe and squirt a little of the juice into it. it should kill it will little effect to the rest of the tank

That is, of course if I've read topics on this correctly before

O.k, I just bought another 9 pounds of LR, I will be taking pictures shortly.

As promised, More Live Rock -- heres the pictures:

Full tank shot

I have three of these maybe four, looks like they have tentacles, maybe, but all closed up.

Bubble Algae??

Not sure what the heck that is.

O ok thanks, good to know.

Looks a lot better. Taking it nice and slow, so how much are you going to plan on having lb. wise in total?

 

[Nix]

I'm aiming for about 20, thats around 12 currently.

I'm thinking I'll just get one more big one, around 8 pounds.

 

[atmmachine816]

O to make it look a bit more even. Is it a 20 high, the tank seems pretty high.

btw can't help with your questions.

 

[Nix]

I don't think its a 20 high, then again, I don't really know the dimensions to make it a 'high'.

But it is 16 inches high, 24 long, and 12 wide.

 

[Nix]

But o.k, my stocking ideas, updated

2 clowns

1 half black angelfish

4-5 hermits

4-5 snails

1-2 random gobies.. (small)

yay? nay?

Hey Nix, if those measurements are correct it is a 20 high. A 20 long is 12x12x30 long.
