i was thinking 15-20, or a trade for some nice Zoas

Is it good? There is one like that on ebay, and I was looking into it.

He ordered his off of ebay too, which was the same make and model of the one I just ordered. The link he provided just showed a few reviews, the one most valuable to me was Jak's, i trust him

Everything is looking better and better.
GSP is pretty cheap and easy so don't get your hopes up on that sale, but the colony does appear to be in great health so that is definitely a positive.
Yellow seems to be gaining some weight as well so that is another positive.
I still worry about the ich, but then again I always will. Meanwhile it looks like you are doing a nice job with the tank.
This does not mean go buy more fish! Leave things as they are to mature and stabalize. If you absolutely must buy something buy more zoas or anothe inexpensive coral.

zoas are all im aiming to buy now

when i upgrade my tank i plan on treating the ich. i actually think the tang is getting fat too. ive started to feed more to help with the fat ( only if they eat it. the first piece the star gets is the last into the tank ). i also try to vary the seaweed i put in every day, or two. im even nice enough to give it small pieces of charto everynow and then since it loves chaeto

past 2 days one of my xenias has been darkening and not openning, so i expect it will be dead soon, but the other 10 seem to look fine.

lcstorc · 02-19-2009, 05:56 PM

I was going to mention it an forgot. The tang is looking a lot better.
Sorry about the xenia. Don't count it out. Xenia are strange and can come back from nothing.

jeremy... Strike 1. bluezoo said their onyx nassarious snails were out. on the upside they called me, told me, and asked if i wanted to switch to regular nassarious snails. said no due to onyx appearing better on their site.

Jeremy0322 · 02-19-2009, 08:59 PM

Well, in their defense they have ALOT of live stock to keep track of, so it doesnt surprise me that they missed something small like that. Its good that they called you and asked you though, there are other sites would have just made the switch and called it a day.

Thanks!

Jeremy0322 · 02-19-2009, 11:54 PM

I cant imagine there is a whole lot of difference between refractometers, I dont know how they work but I cant imagine its too complicated.

new reefer 03 · 02-20-2009, 12:23 AM

i kinda wonder how they work too.
