You got skills!

Thanks. Don't look too close, stainable wood putty hides a lot.

 

[Katrina71]

Yes that's probably new heads.
Can you get a close up?

 

[Katrina71]

Taken with my phone. Maybe you can tell. Sorry about the photo quality.

I have an empty tank and a piece of dead coral. I have a heater that was handed down with the tank. I'm confused with live sand and live coral. What would you use as a substrate that might have benefits to help keep the tank balanced? Do you think 2 tiny fish and 2 shrimp would be possible?

Can you provide some photos of what you are working with?

Anyone have singularia? Pics, comments

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Sinularia is pretty easy. Look for the neon green, rather than the plain green.
I just got rid of all of mine. I dunno. Bored I suppose.


Oh here's a good thing to get for hitchiher pics.
Cheap and effective macro for the phone

Not the same as Xenia. I don't know why I like the weeds. Ugh.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

What's wrong with weeds?

 

[Katrina71]

Oh nothing sir. I am hypnotized by the pulse. I want one. I'm just afraid of some of the results people have gotten.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

sir? ;Oldman

I have those Xenia on the left glued to a magnet. They sometimes grow off the magnet and onto the glass but it's easy to scrape off.

 

[Katrina71]

So they are doable with close observation? Sorry about the sir. I'll punish myself for it :)

Yea absoloutly doable.

Some folks will put the gsp on the sides of the tank and back wall too.

With Xenia you should look out for it dropping babies though. A small branch will drop off rather than climb.

Clove polyps are another good looking weed but it prefers sand and rocks.

 

[Katrina71]

Clove polyps? Will look. I'm afraid of the dropping babies. Can you just scrape them off?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Yes.
And horror stores are overblown. It seem like some folks don't actually notice that Xenia took over thier tank. For the last three months.;Wacky

 

[Katrina71]

That makes me feel better. If mine gets overrun you can come clean my tank.

Oh, it would be a pleasure.

I could send you a few cups of Xenia to start ruining your tank if you like. I scrape em every couple of weeks. And yes. Throw them away:eek:

 

[Katrina71]

Maybe we could trade for some of my high end cyano?
