I have 2 of them in mine, so far no problems.

Thanks everyone for the feed back. Sounds like they wont be a problem for me. Jane, what are limpets? I dont know if I have them or not. Same with nudis, I have no idea what that is. Also, what is "suspended food" (DT's) ?

I did read the mentioned article, not sure I fully understand.. but I read it. The ones I have are very colorful and I do think they look nice. I'm just worried about them possibly causing me problems at some point. I just want to make sure I can but things on that rock and have them do okay without the sponges bothering them. And if the sponges are going to be a problem, how do I get rid of the ones I don't want.........

No, not to much flow on them. I dont have any powerheads in the tank yet.

Thanks, I do like them they way they are so I will just leave them alone.

I believe I have a few blue leg hermits, why? And how would I go about "keeping them in check"? Thanks

I have a large LR covered with these yellow spongelike things. Does anyone know if they will cause me any problems? I want to put some ricordea on this rock and was curious if these things will cause a problem for the rics.

I have a rock with several mushrooms on it. The mushrooms have gotten very big since I got it and they are on top of each other. Should I possibly cut one or two of them out and frag them to give room for the others or are they okay to just leave alone?

So far so good. I have 2 skunk cleaners and 2 pepermints. I feed the Snowflake silverbacks and after he eats the skunks come and and clean off his mouth. Its amazing. I guess we'll see how long that lasts. :wink:

Here are some updated pics of the tank with the new rock, Flame Angel and Snowflake Eel.

I'm not sure what the yellow things are but I don't think they are a sponge. They actually have an intake tube and and output tube and the LFS had mentioned the name of them when I picked it up but now I can't remeber what they said it was. I also added 20 lbs of live rock last night and a few more additions to the tank. I added a Flame Angel, a Snowflake eel, another Skunk cleaner shrimp and more snails. I'm not sure who was more stressed out last night, the fish or me. The eel was quite an ordeal. Once I got him in the tank he was stressed big time but seemed to be doing okay. Then I added the Flame and the eel threw up! It was quite a show but I just checked on the tank and everything seems okay right now. I'm hoping that when it gets light out and everyone starts to come out that they will all get along. I'll post some more pics a bit later on.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I just sent my memebership payment in via Paypal so hopefully I will be able to make the meetings. Is there somewhere to check to see the meeting times and places?

Thank you very much. I have a Coralife 48" Dual Aqualite right now but I am looking to add to it. I have a 29 gal sump with a CPR aquatic refugium I just added the other day. I don't remember the name of the skimmer I have on but its supposed to be a good one... Would love to check out you tank one day rocko. I sent you a PM.

Just wanted to say hello and post some pic of my new 110. This is my first saltwater tank and so far the experience has been great. The tank is about 2 months old and I am learning more every day. Im in the Gainesville Va area so if you happen to be out this way let me know. Im still working on the tank potography thing........ :wink:
