    Oh yeah, don't really have time tonight to take pics. I will get some tomorrow. Now that I have light in my tank lol, I can see all the sponge like stuff growing all over the glass. Doesn't look very good right now, so I would like to do a little cleaning before taking pics lol.

    Very well it sounds buddy, I'm glad to hear everything is turning around. You made an excellent point about the dieing Xenia producing ammo. That makes sense. Once again, so sorry about the tang, but it seems everything is leveling out. Best of luck.

    I have all of this coming tomorrow. It is currently in a 29 gallon.


    I have a small but beautiful set up with roughly
    30 pounds of live rock,
    30 pounds of live sand,
    Yellow and red/green pollups
    Kenya trees
    Feather dusters
    Various shrooms
    Condi Anenome
    Sponges
    2clowns
    1 scooter blenny
    4 light T5 HO light fixture
    full spectrum lighting
    pumps,
    protein skimmer
    heaters
    much more....

    This tank has been up for about 2 years without any illness or infection and without any(unusual) problems, and actually started with a smaller tank acouple years before that.

    I get to pick it up in the morning, and I will post pics of everything then along with a better description of what I actually get lol.

    I'm still waiting on my CPR skimmer in the mail as well.

    The pics aren't as good as I would like because I was holding my 7 month old daughter lol. I still have some rearraging to do of course, and I am thinking of taking out the shelf in the stand and setting up the spare 14 gallon I have down there as a fuge of some sort. Haven't thought that one all the way through yet though.

    For the scooter blenny, the guy I bought the 29 gallon from said the he an established pod community, so there should be enough in the macro algae and LR in there for him right. I wasn't planning on using the substrate that he had in the 29 gallon if I don't have to.

    Edit:

    The 29 gallon would fit inside my stand, but it would take a lot of work that I don't want to do of course. I was just planning on using the 29 gallon tank as part of my grow system for the clowns (http://www.3reef.com/forums/breedin...nowcasso-clownfish-122897-11.html#post1244172).
