Haven't changed anything since the other clown passed away but the tank is looking good and growing out a lot. I'm going to wait another month or so to get another naked clown.

If anyone wants some xenia I will be pruning mine VERY soon it's trying to taking over. I am going to get rid of all of it except for whats on the back wall, it can grow there all it wants.

Is that a blue polyp Gargonian? I like that. Striking color against the black.

Looking GOOD!!! These photos I do this tank no justice. I saw it about 2 months ago and it looked better than the photos I saw before I actually saw it. I can only imagine how vivid it must really be now.

Unfortunately the trumpet never made it. I kept up with lightly spot feedings and it ate but it kept dwindling and eventually retracted and was left looking bleached. I hope I can find another.

Tank looks GREAT! It's kind of funny I normally hate the black sand but it really works in your setup. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

witelytr: Sorry to hear it didn't make it

What are you feeding your gorgonian and do you have problems with nutrients since I imagine you have to target feed the gorgonian.

Love the color of that gorgonian . Ted

It gets fed Cyclop Eeze and fresh hatched BBS... I try to feed every day or every other day, I don't have any problems with nutrients I run very wet skimmer, chaeto and I run floss in my overflow right after feeding so I catch any excess food and remove it from the tank.

Very good idea , get any excess food out of the system , before it has a chance to break down . Ted

Exactly, it allows me to get enough food into the system to 'hopefully' feed enough but get out 99% of excess. I also have a pretty large CUC to help.

Unfortunately the grog has shown a small decline in polyp count since its initial purchase but it still looks healthy, has grown new polpys and has good color so its borderline getting enough to eat. I will most likely be getting rid of it soon to someone who can provide for it in a more ideal environment as I am pushing the limit with my tank.

If anyone is interested in it pm me.
