There a ton of little ones and a few good sized ones. All of a sudden they are popping out of the woodwork. Going to swing by marine scene for some joe's juice and a knock a couple of them out.

So, I think I have the World's laziest Peppermint Shrimp. There are 4-5 of them in my tank and the aiptasia situation is doing nothing but getting worse. After feeding my tank last night though, they were more then happy to dine off the remnants of the fish food. I need to get rid of them (the aiptasia) and the only other option that I know of is a Copperband Butterfly. Something tells me though getting a CB is a bad idea. Actually twos things are telling me that's a bad idea and they happen the two jerks in my tank known as yellow tangs. So I think the CB option is out. Does anyone know of anything else other then Berghia, Peppermints, or a CB that will eat aiptasia? Also, if someone does have a peppermint with a definitive taste for aiptasia, I would be willing to buy or work out a trade. Thanks!

Thanks for the compliment Ric!

Update needed!

Everything is growing out fairly well and lots of new growth. I will post some pics soon so you all can share. Anyone can also come over for a tank tour and a beer!

Well, the lights are off and the canister filter is hopefully on its way. I'll keep you posted on how it works out!

Doesn't it seem like too simple of a solution? just to turn off the lights for a couple days?

yup it looks like that! What about the clams?

I'm not sure if turning the lights off would be an option or not as I have a good bit of coral and a couple of clams. Does anyone have a canister filter I could borrow?

I have a few copses of this weird light green algae. I have 4 tangs in the tank and none of them seem to touch this stuff. I want to get it out of my tank!!! Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

I never thought about a bar supply store. thanks!

Hey all, I need a good place to get a refill in the Sterling, Manassas, or Woodbridge areas. Anyone have a good place?

Forget about the SCWD and go with a WAV from Bruce. I have two on my 150 and they freakin' rock!!!!

Heck, I have an extra kidney!

Sorry to say, but I came home from a weekend away and found a dried China Wrasse on the floor. This was one of the three fish that made it through the Great Tank Crash of 2011

I'm looking to get a couple of anthias here in the next few weeks. I had experience with Lyretails before the crash. Can anybody recommend a couple nice varieties?

Woodbridge here

about time you started your thread! FIrst post!!

Already in my swiss bank account right next to my frags from Dave!!!

Dave, didn't I ever tell you I work as the County Wastewater Mitigation Officer? @Vadim: I take it that you came home to a stack of buckets waiting for you?

With an external piece of plumbing, I would go new if you could. I bought used and have one seal that causes me grief every couple months.

I've seen Evan's tank and I'm one to believe that he's doing it right!

The chromis? No, i stick my hand in the tank and they think it's feeding time!

Thanks, I've been really lucky and will definitely pay it forward!

Thanks again to all of the fellow WAMAS members that helped me to re-stock my coral selection. People that have never been in the hobby or at other geographical locations may not realize the great asset that WAMAS is to both novice and expert hobbyists. If you are new to the hobby or the area, WAMAS is a great culture to be a part of! Now on to the pics!
