My new softies are looking good so far, just want to keep moving them around for best position.   I keep thinking they would look better elsewhere but will have to leave them, dont want to play with them to much.

Some nice pics there.

A 4ft tank and a regal hmm?

Looking nice

Hi Rona, i down sized to this tank before xmas and couldnt let regal go. It should be 100+ gallon tank but shes been fine, no random stress spots at all since adding her. My tank is over 90 gallons so not far off the 100 gallon recommended to keep it and she seem to love her new tank

. Ive also removed all my damsels today as they have been fighting so they had to go. I had to remove a lot of the rock out to catch them   , so ive had a move around to try and create some more caves for fish and more places to add other new corals when ready for them

Haha, the weed, it will take over the world I am telling ya!!!!!!!!

Not sure what you little frag is, but nice one. I must add this too, your tank looks fantastic, nice and crystal clear, shame mine isnt

Hi Teri whenever i disturb my rocks or tank my water goes all misty, but everytime 2 hours flat clear as a wistle. Then when i look at filter wool in sump entry you can see that its took it all out. So i suggest more filter wool on entry to sump and i bet this helps you   if not get some new carbon on the job

I dont use a sump Blake, I havent got the room.. I am running a fluval 2 with just LRR and filter wool, mainly for more water movement more than anything....

[blake7393]

Oh, well i recon you have to get another external filter filled with new wool that skims water surface on tank aswel, or some how make filter you have now take water into filter from surface water as well as how it takes it in now. The reason i say this is because if your filtering both lower water into you filter as well as top of your tank water it will clear quicker. Thats how i had my other tank before i got sump on the job and it worked fine with nice clear water. Hope this helps you

[Teri Parsloe]
