Yote, you are my hero. Your backwoods wisdom is solid.

I am digging my foxface. He does love his algae. Yote, how often do you feed algae sheets to your foxface?

that is about what I feed mine. I am hoping it is enough. the two tangs reallt dominate the frozen food when it gets dropped in.

as for the sting, just run it under warm (not too hot) water and it will break down the venom. it won't take but a minute and the sting will go away

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

Warm water work better than tobacco juice on a sting?

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

OK, so here is a time lapsed pic from last week to this week for that silver-tipped xenia






there has been noticable growth from where I can sit. I am not sure if the pics show it. Should be interesting to see how it grows in a months time

When I got my Xenia I had two pieces. Now it's almost 6 separate pieces. Been less then a month. Yours looks like it's grown

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build

yeah. you wouldn't believe how much that colony I had in the front of my tank has grown. Just since the POTM. it covers the rock it is near from right to left. I am going to break down the rock and sell it back to the LFS. I think I will isolate the xenia on a flat series of rocks so it doesn't take over my whole tank
