    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    At this point I would probably go with peppermint shrimp, and then remove them when you get livestock or the nudibranchs.

    I tried the nudibranchs before but I was not able to afford the amount I needed. I'll go chemical and use flatworm exit for and aiptasia X. Although aiptasia X has failed me in the past a couple of times.

    Ok, bought fresh aiptasia X and watch 'em implode one by one. We'll see how long until they come back and we'll re-try. Tomorrow is flatworm battle day. I'll be siphoning and using Flatworm Solution, which I've never tried before. It's cheaper than flatworm exit, but like I said, flatworm exit has failed me before, so we'll try this, then maybe a wrasse :-D

    Yes I will! I already gave up on my wife helping me. She likes to look at it when its pretty, but won't help maintaining it. But that's my job.

    I used "flatworm solution" from aqua vision aquatics and I am very impressed. I have not seen a single survivor since yesterday and my skimmer pulled a lot of red flatworm scum. I will retreat as soon as I get the first survivor on sight, but so far, I'm super impressed!

    Next, another 20gal W/C and change my carbon and GFO media & thoroughly clean filters, skimmer, reactors, dosing pumps. My "To do list" is starting to get done!!

    My gettings of the day:

    Alk Hanna Checker
    Alk reagent X2
    Alk standard X2
    Bubble Magus dosing pump replacement heads X3
    1GAL Kalkwasser

    Waited and did a BRS group buy, but I saved absolutely nothing!
    All my prices were the same with or without group buy. I'm a bit disappointed with that.

    My ATi fixture hasn't even shipped yet from Aquacave... I got a little survey in my email that I will have to respond. But I called them today and they said they are checking my package to make sure nothing is broken, I kidd you not! They've been checking my package since the 26th of March :oops:
