Yeh well Half of the Zooanthids in the last picture are now not opening. There are plenty of posts such as my recent "Selcon" post describing my problems.

I welcome all suggestions to SAVE THESE ZOO's!

I appreciate all the nice words. My old roommate got me into the hobby and it took off from there. Without his help I'd probably still be at 3 rocks.


I just added another inch to my sandbed and took out one of my large rock that was causing problems.


Since this picture was taken I have about 25 mini feather dusters growing in the bottom left corner of the rock formation base.


Bear in mind this is a Sump-Less Aquarium. It is possible if you are diligent and care about your tank.
