I got a few frags the yesterday and wanted to post some pics! Also I said a question on my last blog about this new bright green thin algae only growing on my dry rock I put in my tank. It doesn't grow on the live rock though. I had brown algae for a few weeks and then it went away. (still have a bit on substrate) What do y'all think about the algae? Is it normal for the maturing of dry rock?

OK, see if y'all can name these corals!!!

I bought some frags yesterday and I have a few questions:

1) the frags thatare on them pegs that you push into the sand-if I want to mount them on a rock, how would I remove that little "tit" that you push in the sand?

2) I have that 2-part putty, it really doesn't hold to good I think. What do y'all think? Should I just use super glue gel, are use both?

3) I have a frag no on the frag peg, do I just mount it on a rock? Any advice?

After a few weeks, he went missing for a few days, and when I located him he was terribly skinny and weak. He died. Do you have advice on keeping Mandarins? Would cultivation and addition of phytoplankton ...

Well tonight while I was checking on Livestock while lights were out I saw the biggest pod ever! And he was munching on the skirt of these palys! Which is sort of a relief to me, since I know its not any of the other pests, but how do I kill this Monster! I have some CoralRX coming in soon, maybe I'll give it ...

For all of those who read my previous blog sorry, I guess I didnt explained my self well. What happened with my tank? Well I was in a job training and my wife wanted to get another dog. Well me knowing how my kids are I said no. Not that Im being mean or anything. it is because three times I bought a dog and had to give it away because no one takes care of it. Thats not fair to the animal. If i wanted the reponsability, I buy one.Thats why I had a reef tank because it is something I take care off. ...
