    yay more corals.....oh I was able to block some flow with properly placed rocks (in my nano for ones that don't appreciate the 20x flow) so if your bubble and brain don't like it maybe you can try that? It acts like a windbreak.

    may have to, i know they hated being near the vortech so i placed them as far away as possible, ill probably have to do some slight adjustments if they dont like the added flow.

    how are you liking your hydro im really hoping it will take care of my cyano issue

    I like it at first I wasn't sure but got it adjusted so is good, the clown loves the flow when I shut it off to feed she's like where's the flow...and looks around as if she can see it...too funny. Can't wait for the evo to get her...still no email confirming shipping w/the tracking # :angry:

    yup she does live up to her species...and even eats the larger zooplankton I put in for the corals....Oh and I tried the bloodworms and she loves them thanks, was thinking I'd have to go out and buy some frzn mysis w/spirulina (is what she was eating in the store) I added spirulina food I had to the bloodworms and she likes it.

    Yeah is weird...they said they ship within 24-48 hrs well 48 is up today...yeah I noticed that with fedex...too slow updating or getting it out of the 1st facility.

    Me too was worried there for a 2nd....would've gone and gotten some of the other but the budget is hella tight this month so is good I don't have to..still may though to vary her diet (shouldve gotten that rather than the freeze dried mysis, only the platies like that)...

    The evo was sent out yesterday ;D and will be here tmw...Yippee.
    Oh and marine depot has it for the same price and w/them no sales tax..oh well is only like $2 difference and is worth that to get it quicker the HOB filter really isn't enough even for just cycling.

    i feed my reef fish a mix of frozen bloodworms, brine and mysis soaked in garlic for a varried diet, ive tried flakes but none of my fish eat them

    wish i didnt get my hyrdo at DFS i guess it was kind of a rip off, oh well

    yup...could've got some coral for the moola you'd have saved..oh well now you know it pays to shop around.

    I should add garlic..i do have some fresh stuff...the clown eats some of the flakes sometimes...the mollies love it and decided that they like the bloodworms too...the clown will eat some of the frzn seafood mix too but not as well as the bloodworms & frzn mysis (the LFS showed that they did eat there ...which is good)

    Love the shopping online..getting "gifts" in the mail, that and now have to shop online unless I get a ride...I have a stick shift and got surgery yesterday to repair a torn ligament in my left ankle.

    maybe the clowns still adjusting then, strange how she's kind of picky, maybe garlic will make her eat

    and i agree shopping online is deffiently fun, but the shipping part does what kills me. i love going to the lfs to see what they have in stock but i think ordering is better, more of a variety

    ouch a torn ligament had to hurt, i hope you heal quickly :D
