    Hey guys its been a year since ive been here but im back. My band Tattered www.TatteredMusic.com has taken off and consumed most of my time for the last year. We are writing and i now have some time to get my tank back in order.

    Glass anenomes everywhere (already using Apstiasia X (sp)) and green hair algae badly. Starting 25% water changes every week and going to start running a phostphate/nitrate remover. Going to pick up some more hermit crabs and turbo snails to help out. Probably chould change my bulbs. I run 4 T5's and 2 150 watt MH.

    Glad to be back. This fourm kicks ass!!

    I have some Pepermint shrimp already working on it but they seem to do very little. And my 2 tube anenomes keep eating them :p

    Nice to meet some locals. Would love to do some trading, i have a tube anenome im willing to part with as well as some hairy mushrooms.

    Your tube anemones are eating the shrimp because the shrimp are trying to eat them. Peppermint shrimp like anemones of any sort.

    By the way, the band is very good. I really like "Lies". Kind of have a "Stone Sour" type sound.
