Thanks Steve and Kyle. Good deals like that almost never happen to me. I usually hear about it when it happens to other people. hahah I just got lucky this time. I fed it last night which was kind of cool. It did not seem to like Mysis. The owner of my LFS said he liked bigger meaty foods so I had to go to my freezer and cut up a small scallop. He liked that! Of coarse I do too so we might have to fight over the scallops. LOL

Okay friends ~ I need your opinion. I am seriously thinking of removing a piece of rock this weekend from the tank. 2 reasons.
1) I would like to make more room on the sandbed for future purchases
2) This rock has the Digitate Hydroids that I am battling and not winning.
I used photo shop to edit out the rock to show you how it might look.
What do you think? Stay or go? I may not listen but opinions are appreciated

I'd vote to keep it as well. But, if the hydroids are that big of a concern for you, what about just getting a new rock (or nuking the existing rock after getting the zoanthids off it and starting it over as base rock)? Side note, I find myself wanting more sand space in my tank, but with your 34 gallon I think you actually have more sand space than I do in my 65!
Oh, you could also push that rock back farther and maybe add a coral in front of the rock? Take care,

Looks fine without it. If you don't like it put a piece of dry rock in later - it won't come with hydroids!
+1 with Terry.
I can picture a nice ricordia garden and some Acans there

Wow - tough one...it's like buying a house and needing to see through the crummy wallpaper the old owners put up - not that the rock is crummy wallpaper...well, you know what I mean. I actually like the rock there, but I imagine there would be a ton of potential in the space for a nice ric garden!

No Scoly farm here....can't afford that.
I like this kind of thinking myself. +10 on the Ric Garden.

I've got 4 setting on my deck now. They spent a month in a bucket of fresh water, I took them out and scrubbed them last weekend, now they are drying out and won't come back in till summer soonest if at all. You put them out to dry out and your problems should be gone in a couple of months. Good luck!
