  1. How long after feeding would you wait to test phosphate?

      5 minutes? Pellets and flakes I'd guess take a while to show up and the liquid off frozen food should mix in pretty quickly and then it's at least hours before the fish process what they've eaten.

      I don't really know Kim but I say just wait for the next day.

      I'd say of you feed at the same time every day, test before feeding.

  2. It might not be beneficial but my favorite time of day to stare at my tank is when the lights have dimmed to blue in the evening. Everything pops and the lower light is really enjoyable. In general I like to see the tank lit differently throughout the day. My apex has been disconnected for a while so I've been using a plain ol timer and lost the ability to change the intensity and spectrum. I sure miss it and can't wait to get the apex hooked back up!
  3. That's beautiful! Love the aquascape too. Do you have a couple long, smaller holes for it to live in? Mine spends most of it's time in a rock like that even though I have lots of caves in my scape. It's not the same type of eel but I'd imagine they like the same spaces.
  4. I wish I could take it! I just don't have any algae growth. Good problem to have but it means no urchins. Glws!
  5. They're here! It's going to take me a while to get them all carefully into their own containers. I'll send out a pm when they're all ready.
  6. After seeing a pic of the accident in round rock involving a fed ex truck I was worried, but the tracking shows it's on a truck out for delivery. Whew! I'll update this and pm when it arrives.
  7. We're in the $12.39/medium size price range, close to the $11.99/ea
  8. Cool! I don't know anything about turtles so I'm looking forward to this build.
  9. The next possible shipping day is next Wed for Thurs delivery. Might as well leave this open until Mon night.
  10. I'm waiting to hear back on the next potential shipping date. I'll update when I hear back. I won't put in the order until I know when they'll ship.
  11. Taken from reeftown.com We have 4 people in right now, not sure exactly how many berghia yet. The price is cheaper the more we get.
  12. Yes, most likely from reeftown now. I was waiting to see if salty underground was only sold out of their sale ones and would have some regular price today but that doesn't seem to be the case. The ones I ordered last time were from reeftown and it was a great experience (minus the cost, wow) so might as well order there again.
  13. Wow that's a huge tank with unique dimensions. I love your idea for it, with the towers and background. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
  14. Is that a certain type of filefish? Do you have a pic? I think a lot of LFS have been selling the matted filefish as the aiptasia eating filefish. It's really hit or miss. The last time I tried one, it swam by a rock with 3-4 aiptasia on it daily and never ate them. It did, however, devour a good assortment of zoas before I realized it was the one doing it. Yeah I'm pretty sure it's just a matted filefish. He's pretty good at changing colors and turning green when hanging around my vast algae beds but he has never touched any of my zoas, and I have 4 different zoa colonies. Just like some fish that nip corals, it's probably hit or miss Okay, thanks!
  15. Still planning on ordering, probably by Tue evening. Bump for interest.

I remember that. I was hoping this was a different type. Bummer. Back to the berghia idea.

  18. I think that's a great idea but I'm located in far south Austin. Are you in Lakeway?
