Well that's good news. Just glad it's not something bad.

Some good new, bad news, and I don't know news. We'll start with the good news I suppose. I got two more additions to the tank. I got a Japanese Deepwater Neon Green Toadstool. I believe that was the name at least.. the current pic I have isn't that great but it is neon green head and the...

Time for another update! The clowns looks like they calmed down alot. They are starting to do there dance so hopefully they will be together in no time. The bigger one still becomes really aggressive during feeding time but she isn't tearing fins anymore so I guess that is a plus. The Z and P's...

Well that was a rollercoaster of emotions in about a span of 2 seconds lol. Thanks though that really takes a load off my shoulders. Was really worried I had introduced something to the tank.

Last week I got some new zoas and so in the process of dipping the new zoas I pulled out some old colonies I had in my tank because they had these white hard swirly specs in them. As I was in the process of scrapping off the swirls on the frags these things just swam out of the frags. Now couple...

Being new to the hobby myself, we too got a nem for our 20g. I pretty much agree with what everyone has said here. It is unfortunate there is no concrete answer to if the nem will be "okay". We had pretty much both things happen in our 20g. We got an RBTA we placed and it never moved and grew...

Yah they def are. I am pretty concerned about that too, but we'll see how it turns out in a week I guess.

Well... this past weekend was quite turbulent. Returned the domino damsel back to the LFS. (Was our very first fish. Was quite the hearbreaker. Also had to tear the tank to pieces to catch him....) Got an blenny the same day. Next day we took a visit over to the fishdoctor and picked up 2 new...

Thanks now the new "problem" is they are in a 20g tank.. I am uncertain that having that many rbtas in that small a tank is a good idea =\.

Good to know. We can probably stop stressing out now. lol

So we have had this RBTA for a couple weeks and it has never moved from the spot we placed it. It colored up nicely (red tips greenish base). It got 3 times bigger than when we first got it. It started hosting the clowns and now it split into 3... we just changed our lighting schedule down to 6...

Still battling the brown stuff in the tank. Decided to lower my lighting schedule down to 6 hours a day instead of 12. Also realize I do a lot of typing in my post but not many pictures so I'll post some now. (Should probably work on taking pictures in better lighting etc.)

Oh haha yah didn't realize you lived over there nice I appreciate the offer will definitely take a look when I get some time! BTW when you run out of room you just upgrade to a bigger tank right? ;)

Nice! I am unsure if I really want SPS atm (I do have one birds nest frag), not to mention I really want a zoa and Acan dominated tank. (I say this but I keep spending money on new corals every week. Don't know how anyone keeps this hobby in the long run LOL) Hopefully water changes will be...

You know for some reason I didn't even think of that even though I have a bottle of bayer sitting under my tank.. for some reason my mind went directly to "any insect spray" is going to be bad for the tank.

I duno about expert but def grown to hate these little blood suckers lol. Just hoping this situation blows over and is a temporary thing.

This is great news to hear. I'll probably just keep up with normal water changes and leave mag testing down to once every couple weeks. This is what I was assuming as well. The question really is should I bother dosing ALK? I think my step is going to be is to test for ALK AFTER I do my weekly...

I live in Noe Valley in San Francisco. Yah I hear you seeing rain is a miracle. Since I live in the city I havn't seen any freshwater ponds around. The home owners here do have a very small garden in the "backyard" (if you could even call it that) and did recently do some maintenance to it...

I probably will end up doing this. As horrible as it may look I feel this may be one of the safer ways of dealing with this issues at hand.

Well it looks like I may have found out why my snails have been dying? So I have been using Red Sea Coral Pro Salt for the past couple weeks and had always found it odd that my magnesium was a tad low (1100 - 1200ish) even though the box states 1340 mg. Well it looks like I was doing the...
