It probably is a feather duster. I've got dozens and dozens of those in my tank. Their lifespan is short I think, so they come and go.

CAVINCA · 02-12-2008, 12:08 PM

im pretty sure thats what it is... its SOO hard to see. i think colorblindness is causing that thougH..

CAVINCA · 02-12-2008, 09:20 PM

framerguy · 02-12-2008, 11:52 PM

looks kind of spongy but I really don't know. Let it grow out a bit.

DrBCool · 02-13-2008, 01:16 PM

Nice start to a slatwater reef ..
Cool looking rock and I like the aquascaping you have done . Very nice

CAVINCA · 02-14-2008, 02:23 PM

WELL, Its valitines day and im shopping for a CUC. How do you guys think this group will do? Is it to much to add at once? Will the Fire Shrimp eat my Dwarf Sea Hare? Will The dwarf sea hare foul my water.. do they ink the water often?

I have never had a dwarf seahare so I don't know their habits. The seahares in my tank have never inked, they are about 8 months old. Your CUC numbers look good to me. Make sure you have sufficient algae to support the seahare, you can supplement with nori sheets rubberbanded to a rock if you don't. Probably not a bad idea even if you do have lots of algae.

CAVINCA · 02-19-2008, 08:30 AM

Well... Saturday was a busy day.. my first bit of livestock came in. i acclimated for 8 hours then added them to my tank. pacificeast ran out of fire shrimp so i only got one instead of the planned two. they didnt call or send an email about this, but they didnt charge me for the second. oh well... heres some pictures.

framerguy · 02-19-2008, 03:10 PM

Great closeups! Love the seahare, they're my favorite.

Craig Manoukian · 02-19-2008, 09:00 PM

So i cant take it anymore. my water will not clear up. ive run carbon ive used filter socks (panty hose) iv used filter floss. ive used a bigger airpump on the stock skimmer. i change the skimmer woods out. i broke down and ordered a tunze 9002 doc skimmer and some chemi pure elite. im gonna totally remove the media basket and put the tunze in the middle chamber. im gonna sock and drop the chemi pure down in my pump chamber to get the best flow i can through it.

On a good note everything is alive. The in-tank refugium i made out of plastic mesh canvas is holding up nicely although it is an eyesore. i may have to rebuild it in a differnt shape....

framerguy · 02-22-2008, 11:51 AM

You won't regret the skimmer upgrade!

CAVINCA · 02-22-2008, 11:57 AM

I hope not. maybe being right under the overflow it will skim somthin decent.

AQTCJAK · 02-22-2008, 11:57 AM
