i think i found it.... proliferating anemone Google Image Result for http://www.divebums.com/week/2007/Sep10-2007/proliferating-anemone_roger-uzun.jpg

Water temp is usually 66-72 can get exact reading of the location when I get back in the water. The current is northern so it may have come from mexico as many things on the beach do hahah. It seemed to really like my tanks 80 degrees.., can always set my heater at 72 if I isolate it. Oh and it...

i was just swimming in the ocean a while ago and a patch of kelp drifted up to me... on some of the bulbs there were these small orange shriveled anemone like things. of course i swam in with one and put it in a cup with sea water... it opened up a little bit and i could see its tentacles...

heres some new zoas i just got from a buddy... traded some of my sps. also a galaxia frag that he picked up at aquasd for me these are the two frags that the guy who took my flame angel off my hands "traded" me for... i would have given him away for free but the guy was very nice.

WOOOOOOOO finally!!!! I caught the little devil without having to move a single rock or buy a new fish trap!! I left the net in the tank and fed out of it for almost two weeks and he finally ate inside the net. I caught three of my fish at once but the important part is that I got him out... All...

ive been looking around again and i have no idea if this is it but it happens to look like the same shape if i could magnify it more.... it may be a type of diatom Pleurosigma angulatum, the only thing is i cant find anything about them infecting aquariums..... :(

so i know ive posted about this in the past... i had asked about these incredibly small brown worm/slug like things that were crawling on my glass in the thousands. they seem to have disappeared from the glass for the most part [although i do clean it often]. however there have been a few long...

and of course my flame angel is nipping at everything already and the polyps are all sucked back in. >:( ive been feeding in the net for a week and that dumb fish is the only one who wont eat out of it. im getting a fish trap if i cant get him out in the next few days.

so this guy on my local forum contacted me because he wanted to make some trades for some of my coral, little did i know hes probably the next local reef shop. he calls his tank the farm and that is exactly what it is.... he has so many corals that i couldnt choose from the list he gave me, i...

That looks about right hahah

All of the corals mentioned are hard corals actually, they are Lps (large polyp stonies) but they are among the easier stony corals. Wht is the wattage or length of your bulbs? Tht won't be enough for even most soft corals unfortunately, I woul recommend at least a four bulb 48 inch t5 fixture...

ps for hard corals you will need to keep the calc, alk, mag, iodine etc levels higher than in a fowlr.... at least if you want to see growth ;)

well usually you start out wth easy basic corals like softies and perhaps lps... easier corals are only optional feeders, you can feed them pretty much anything you feed your fish as a basic meal, or they can survive off of strong lights alone. it really depends on what kind of coral you want...

i have no idea it was just a rock in the tub of live rock i bought from a local reefer hahah

thanks guys :)

im pretty sure i bought it wet but he may have just put some of the base rock in the container with the rest of the live rock to seed it before i bought it. i dont have a phosphate tester because i can never get an answer on if they work or not haha there is too much controversy for me to spend...

its been so long since i updated this... heres some crappy cell phone pics ill get a camera unpacked soon and take some real pictures

you can use white vinegar as well... thats a little bit safer also. but scrubbing it thoroughly and drying it would probably do the trick

So my tank is essentially algae free, I've been running gfo and carbon for a few months and it's working wonders. The tank is pretty much spotless except, for ONE rock that algae seems to always grow on. It's an odd type of algae I've never really seen before it almost looks like a fuzzy mold...
