Re: zigz 55 gal television

the anenenome decided to go right back where it started after roaming through the whole tank ..almost like playing musical chairs w/ the corals...

I took the frag of the monti back to the LFS ..but they said that they couldnt give me credit until they see some life come back to that thing aparently some of the tissue had begun to recede-we'll see what happens

I have put my FORURTH pair of shrimp (the previous three didnt make it)
so far so good they have lived alot longer than 2 days its been two weeks they are eating and seem to be doing great..*Knock on wood*

my new plants i dont know how they are doing

caulerpa racemosathe bulb looking ones




This is my second time trying these and already one patch has lost its green color what would cause that to happen..i have other plants in my tank that do very well...any advice?
