Just ordered some calcium carbonate, another wavemaker and new rodi filters. About to place an order for some berghias I think.
I literally just got through zapping 6 aiptasia with Joe's Juice. I have a file fish in quarantine but still afraid to turn him loose.

I'm about to make some reef napalm and nuke some palys and montis
I've kept my palys on the sand, just scooped them out and trim when needed. Not fond of them but can't get rid of them either. :rolleyes:

I'm sure I'll find some on the rocks someday thanks to Mr Urchin. Who just picked up a large frag holder and frag and carried it off....

My filefish got treated in a 10 gallon then transferred to my 13.5 Fluval. I had a couple lightbulb anemone and curly cues that disappeared. So 99% he got em.

I'm just afraid of him nipping corals.

Same for our filefish, as well as I don't think the two peppermint shrimp are eating any either... Was going to grab some berghias from Dinkins because I saw they had them for sale. Now they're 'coming soon' again :(

I got 3 peppermint shrimp, or had, I think Tim ate them...:loudly-crying-face:

I still don't know where the little aiptasia boogers came from. Had to be itsy bitsy hitchhikers I missed...

Watch if you have any meaty corals...
My went amafter cynarina and other gorgeous LPS and I quickly returned them to the lfs.
Quickly meaning months in one tank, weeks in another, ripped apart the second to get said "helpers" out...
Get berghias. Spend more now, save yourself the headache.

That's exactly what I am afraid of. I think I can catch him easily enough in my tank if I had to.

But Tim.... Bergis could be an expensive snack...

I got large peppermint shrimp from the LFS, because I had a cleaner shrimp he left alone, but I'm missing 3 peppermint shrimp. So...

I should definitely have enough pods and such after Tuesday. Not like I don't have enough as it is lol. If I look after lights out, it's almost like ants running all over my rock work. My front frag rack that's by the sandbed, is covered in pods, even during the light on periods. But ordered the 1/2 gallon combo from dinkins with 1/2 gallon pods/rotifiers and 1/2 gallon phyto. We'll see how it goes...

Anyone have any good vendors for Berghias?

I don't know if this is a Walt Disney, sin city, or something else. If it's a Walt I can frag it soon and shoot you a piece if you want.
