Could pic 2 be Alveopora because from the pictures I just looked at it does not seem to have as much color?

Yea cant count from that pic. I should try to get a count tomorrow when my lights are on. Does it make a difference on the placement? I read that Goniopora have a higher light requirement.

I tried counting it seems they have 12. I know they don't but there so small some seem to have more and some seem to have less then 12. More importantly now I had another ammonia spike at .75-1. I did a water change and added prime and stability and will do another water change tomorrow. I still have no idea where the spikes are coming from. I have the chemi-pure elite in the tank but is there anything else that would remove the ammonia in till I can find the source. I know there are ammonia removers you can add but I have read most of them do not work.

Yea I know its exp is Oct 2011. I also used a strip test and get the same results.

I just bought the intank media basket so I am going to add Purigen when I get it. I thought that might help with the ammonia.

I also got the underwater lights. Thought I could throw the chaetomorpha back there after I hopefully get some baby's.

I seem to be getting the ammonia under control now. I have noticed the last few days I have not seen my tiger watchmen. Last night I saw him behind the live rock but I think he was dead and my Serpent Sea Star was making a meal of him. I was just thinking should I take him out if he is dead or just let the star devour him? I would usually just take it out but I would have to move all my rock and then try to get it from the star.

Thanks
Not sure what killed him. Don't think it was the ammonia. I know any ammonia is to high but it is at most .25. I am going to wait a week or two after I have this ammonia problem completely gone and maybe try a Clown Goby.

The intank media basket should be coming tomorrow. Since I had to order some purigen I also got the jbj ato and a Stunner LED Strip Light . I have not setup the ato yet. The lights do make a very nice shimmer effect. Cant get a good pic of it with the lights on but here is one with the rsm lights off. Think I might add one or two more since the can be linked together.

I just put in the media basket with the filter floss and purigen. It seems to really be restricting flow and the water level in the dt went up a bit. I even tried closing my ball valve a little and it didn't do anything. Does everyone have this problem or am I doing something wrong?

I don't use the surface skimmer. I broke it when I was cleaning one time and just never bought another one. I think it was the floss. I made it a little smaller and the water level went down. Thanks.
