hey Bill, where did you get the stuff from? Royal is out of stock and nobody has it local, I may have to place an order to premium aquatics.

Alright, I got good news and bad news.
Good news is that I picked up a very nice green slimer frag, I'll get a pic soon. Bad news is that I have red bugs again, I have some interceptor on the way to treat and I'm going back to trating any new sps pieces

OK, couple of updates. I had bought an orange back wrasse last Thursday and had thought he was a goner because I had yet to see him again until yesterday, he's out and about all of the time now. I also found a very pretty Lubbock's Wrasse yesterday, I've never seen one in these colors. I'm trying a new form of acclimation so that the wrasses have a better chance of survival, I'll go into that more later.
Also, I treated for red bugs once again, I may have lost one of my first SPS pieces that was grown from a frag but that may be the only piece. I'm going back to dipping every piece I put into the tank now. I did pick up 4 new SPS pieces to make up for it though, I'll try and get soem good pics later. Here's the Lubbocks in the container and the orange back is in the bottom of the pic

Nice Fish Purchases, Sorry to hear about the redbugs, cause I have them too. I ordered some Incep. for my tank. Hopefully, I get it by monday. Good luck with your treatment. Be sure to document. lol

Well the treatment is already done. It's pretty simple, take interceptor and break it up, put it in the tank, wait at least 7 hours (I did 12 hrs), do a large water change and run carbon. The only thing that it will harm will be inverts like shrimp and crabs.
I think I've decided on getting a Coralife 220 needlewheel, unless anybody has anything bad to say about them. I also am in the process of converting my girlfriends 29g reef, the plan so far is going to be a jawfish/seahorse tank. I changed the substrate today and put in 80 lbs of aragalive sand and also changed all of the water. I'm going to get rid of a lot of rock and corals that can't be kept with them. I still plan on keeping some real corals including SPS and am having a feeding trough built.

I walked by the tank just a few minutes ago and noticed the huge worm I've been looking for totally out from the rocks, I grabbed a ziplock, flipped it inside out and used it like a glove to grab him. He's in a 2.5g tank for now until I figure out what to do with him, he's so big I feel bad killing him. He never spread out fully for the video or pics but when I first put him in he was over a foot long.
To watch the video right click on it and "save target to disk" before you watch it, it's about 20 megs. The Video http://www.gregmsreef.com/Videos/Worm.MPG

If you watch the video he spreads out more but he's definitely over a foot

Yeah, that one could stretch out to well over 12". I just pulled one out of my tank the other day that was around 12" or so and when I pulled it out it shrunk to 7 or 8. There are some pics on page 6 of my thread.

alright I hooked up the Coralife superskimmer 220 yesterday and love it so far even though it's still in it's break in period. I also picked up a Phosban reactor but unfortunately nobody around here has Phosban so I need to order that.

I'd also like to know what you went with on the top-off.... And keep me informed on how you like the skimmer and how it performs for ya..... I've yet to hookup my reactor ( lazy lazy... ) and it seems like the fluidized filter concept is starting to catch on.... I think Marc ( melev ) runs like three of the reactors in his tank(s).... Bob

I really do like the SS so far, it's very well built.
I haven't done the topoff yet, I'm still deciding on which way to go. I also made a small phosphate reactor for my effluent to go through, I'm going to put up pics in the next few days

thanks, I have 23 fish in there now. The only other planned fish will be a regal angel when I'm able to find a healthy one.

The day has come, I have found the prettiest, healthiest Red Sea Regal Angel in the world! At least I hope so. These are the best pics so far and the flash losses a lot of coloring. I go out of town until Sunday night tomorrow so you guys may have to wait until then for some good pics.
On a sadder note, my mandarins died, just as before, right after treating the tank for red bugs. All of the mandarins were fat and happy and did not starve, they must get poisoned by the pods that they eat that have eaten the interceptor.

Sorry about the Mandarins! On the other hand that is a beautiful Angel!
