    did the dreaded water change (about 20%) and rock scrubbed with the toothbrush method (one of my faves - not) and discovered I have quite a few small serpent stars. Does a harlequin eat serpents? Need to re-scape. I have figured out I need more flow - I'm thinking of putting my maxi jet in the back pointed forward. I have another koralia - not sure I like its bulkiness - I think the improved flow should help my algae issue - I hope.

    I added a condy nem (going to try again) and another gorgeous maxi mini. Got two more sexy shrimp for a total of 3 and they are all hanging out together which is cool.

    I posted up on my build thread what I have been doing. But here is the rock for my 75 grow out tank. I will also have egg crate racks on each side of the rocks for frag plugs.
    The side pieces are nice flat shelves can't really see that in the pics.

    So today I will be switching over a pump in my sump room and start to run the pipe for where my 75 is going. I sold the light on my frag tank so will be using the light from my 34 cube build as the weather has not been cooperating with me to start the stand yet. Once I have the 75 up I will be using the lights from my DT as I have an upgrade for that tank as well.

    I sat across the family room and watching my LED's cycle on.

    Aahhh, things are good.

    I already started my daily drip of RO/DI gallon water with 60ml vinegar and 30ml Kalwasser.

    Someone brought me over a shrimp, put it in my DT that night on the 1/24/15, and haven't seen it since. Somekind of name with a P- shrimp that's known top pop its claw when stressed?

    Is there any way to move everything out? while you do a very big water change? so sorry to hear that this has happened.
