    Your tank is coming along great despite the algae troubles. you have some really nice coral.

    To me your tank looks beautiful...and will only get more so as you add more corals...great job!

    I agree the fishies look soooo small in the tank...just means they have more swimming room :cheesy:.

    Rock work looks good too.

    thanks :D the birdsnest wasnt too horribly priced when i bought it either, it was like $60, and they had it in one of their display tanks

    and evil chromis is being evil as always he's been beating up flash throughout the day, i cant get to the lfs this weekend so im going to try during the week or when i get water next weekend, hopefully they will have a fish trap

    ohh come on it worked once before :lol:

    poor flash he's hiding in a corner in the tank and not looking too good with how he's swimming, not normal for him, kind of does the side swim

    seems to be doing ok now, but hopefully its nothing, maybe stress from that stupid chromis

    i know :( i think im going to try the two net idea tomorrow, we have a big green one in the garage so ill probably end up rinsing it off and use both nets, he's just so fast, he quickly darts into the rocks

    my emerald crab is working on my zoa frag, hopefully he's not eating them, he's pissing them off though

    would hope so, yea he's still white and his back is bumpy??? i mean i have plenty of algae now with the GHA

    and i may have to try to get Flash out of the tank :( the Melanurus Wrasse is now nipping at him, and i dont want him to die, im hoping one of the lfs will take him for store credit

    Hope the 2 nets work for you...still may take a while if you have a lot of holes for him to swim through.
    can chase him into the big net w/the small one :sneaky: :evilgrin:
    then it's sianara Dr. Evil :wiseguy:.

    You really can't win a trick with fish can you ?

    At least your having luck with corals...

    yea im still going to try to catch the chromis, will deffiently take a while since i have a lot of holes in my tank

    i know, its really frustrating, but at least when fish die theirs not as much damage if a coral were to die
