Yes, long time. Have had a lot going on here. Tank is good, hopefully I'll be around a bit more.
Bet it's like they have a new playground  :00123100: lol

It's been a long time, but we have added coral...yaaayy :0012396: :0012396:

I've uploaded a pic' to the Gallery, and will be posting a few more no doubt.

Still getting the odd Aippie, but it looks as though that is going to be the norm (?) for the tank!!!
Just acting as soon as we see one now, otherwise would probably never put anything in again.

BTW, happy 4th July peep's, enjoy.

Looks good. I'm going through the same fight. I'm swapping out all of my live rock with some pest free stuff i've had sitting in a bin in the garage here soon. I've got a few hangers on here and there as far as the appies go but i will deal with those as i come upon them.

Beautiful tank, are those feather dusters on the glass?

4th of July? For a Welsh?

Thanks, really pleased with it now, well worth the 'patient wait'!!!

Good luck Psyko, hope you get on top of the Aippie thing soon too.

It is official Bill, well and truly hooked!!! Thinking of maybe another duster???

OC, the feather duster has its tail(?) embedded in the sand just behind the rock; it seems happy there, near the glass, but not on it.

As for the 4th July thing, just thought I'd send greetings across the pond as we are aware of it here in Wales -a few of our friends have emigrated to the States-

Sorry, doh!!

Unsure about those, they are actually on the back wall of the tank. Thought they were snails at first, but they don't seem to grow....tried scraping them off, but they just grow back.
Any suggestions??

Scroll down to the bottom under sessile. I believe they are feather duster #3. I have some of them in my tank, scraping them off usually works for me though.

they are indeed Spirorbids, just scrape off the ones that bug you.  they'll wax and wane in response to small particulates in the water.

the tank is looking super!

Hello Amy, long time no speak again. Thanks for the comments, sooo pleased with the tank at the moment, apart from the brain -as in other thread-. It seemed to take an age, but we got there in the end. :0012396:

How are things in your tank; I'm sure things are maturing nicely now?
