Thanks all, I really should get my butt into gear & post some pics of what I already have :oops:

I sorta fell out of love with my tank about 4 months ago as I started losing Zoa's like nobodies business! turns out I'd introduced Zoa eating Astrina starfish when I shut my nano down.... I still pick the odd one out every few days, but the big losses have stopped... Even so I lost 10 real nice ones including my tubs blues :cry: most were fist size rocks as well :evil:

Cheers Shelton.

Will Do!

Gonna sort my tank out a little this afternoon & make some room on the bottom for the new comers, I'll even clean the glass down there so you'll be able to see them :)

Cheers Shelton.

Laurie,

Your hour glass thing will never change the amount of sand in the top and bottom.

I'm seeing more and more zoa eating spiders and sundial snails... they seem to be more prevalent on the zoas coming out now...

I seem to catch a few of those every once in a while...

glad you caught 'em...

Glad everything made it ok. Yeah I noticed that there are more hitchhikers lately to. But the sea spiders give me the creeps.

Nah, I shut it down about 6mths ago.... Just didn't have the time to look after 2 tanks, you know you are in trouble when you begin to lose interest? :(

Feel much better about the main tank now, just wish I could kill off the bubble Algae though!

Cheers Shelton.
