It can move but so far it has not moved sine I introduced it into the tank.  Im going to see how it does in this tank before I add one to a tank that has corals.  Besides the nem and the clown all thats in there is algae so I thought it would be a good test to see and learn about them.

nice job Kyle.

BTW, what lighting did you go with?  just so ya know, Condies are the most light hungry nem that frequently comes into the hobby, and for it to thrive, you'll need MH or LOTS of T-5 lighting.

So far I change about 3 gallons every two weeks and change the filter media once a month.

It probably is too much, now that its getting more established ill probably only do 1-2 gals every couple of weeks depending on how things are looking.

Not sure how I missed this sorry but here I copied this from Just_greg (btw I should know what name you go by/prefer but dont)

anywho this is what it is

"that would be Caulerpa prolifera (the long stuff) and Chaetomorpha sp. (the "brill-o pad")."

The caulerpa grows like crazy and Im thinking about giving some of it away cause I dont want it to get out of control lol.

How can you tell if caulerpa goes "sexual"?  I was reading up on it and read that it could go sexual and release chemicals that are no bueno for corals.  In my ten gallon I just have the anemone; if the caulerpa went sexual would my anemone show ill affects?  Im planning on getting most of the caulerpa out of my ten anyways but it just got me thinking about it I guess........

One other thing..if I remove most of the algae I should probably add more LR maybe a little more LS?... There isnt very much LR or LS as it is so would probably be a good idea to add more anyways but just wondering out loud hehe if I would notice a swing in parameters by removing the algae.....
