Hows about a silicone smoother tool to get into those corners and make a nice smooth look.
Also a tank squaring tool. clip on the glass to make the tank sides exactly 90 to each other.
Silicone spacers would work nicely too, so instead of having to use match sticks for the spacing of the silicone between joins we could have like a decent robust fitting.

Anyone out there have any experience with these guys, I have a powder blue, os I'm not 100% sure if they'll fight.

What should i be looking to pay for a juvenile say 6CM long?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I've had a read up on them so not really interested in how they "should" behave in a tank. Experience please guys, If you've had one, got one I'd appreciate it if you can shed some light.

Urgent help needed somethings chowing my monti

Posted: March 12th, 2012, 11:20pm CDT by Wes

Basically the extent of the damage would be a lip of new growth, let's call it 2mm length of say 3 CM has been chomped. Can't see it as been broken cause it's right in the middle of a leaf of monti, similar to a new petal within a rose bud, hence you'd see left of bits and peices if it were broken.

Within the last few days, something has started eating my monti, I've tried to take pics of the munched piece, but it's really small so no angle is really possible, it's happening at night. I have however noticed 2 3 footed star fish, white to caramel in colour, sat fairly close to the coral in question. Never seen them before, also a fairly new addition to the tank would be a cleaner shrimp, I've seen him "skower" the tank at night. and then the 3rd suspect in question is a snail, pics added:
LED Strip lights

Posted: March 11th, 2012, 9:19am CDT by Wes

couple years back spent close to R 2000.00 on strip lighting, apparently it's RGB that makes up either the blue or white. I am going to try a few strips in my nano and let you guys know on either the success or failure that occures with a few of my frags.

Wierd Clown Activity

Posted: March 7th, 2012, 8:42pm CST by Wes

Recently introduced a bigger clown into the system, say 3 months ago, yesterday just as i got back from work, he grabbed my wrasse (cleaner) and took him toward the nennie the couple of clowns share, didn't seem to hurt either fish and the wrasse didn't seem to or want to struggle free. However he manged to get away when he was released very shortly before landing in the nennie.

Weird or you think I got a cab leak in the car, may be getting to my head?

Not on weed, feed the fish weed, sea-weed. not sure here...

No Idea, lost here

Hi Guys, bought some LR over the weekend found some interesting looking Corals???

here are the pics, the white thing in picture actually looks very similar to a mushroom, but with lumo ping speckles on it, pictures aren't wonderful but I hope they help.

Also this, I have no idea, what they are what they could be. Not pres-stic for sure, but coral for sure. Your help would be much appreciated.
