NRehman August 11, 2008 Share August 11, 2008 Both of these corals can be fast growing. The zoanthids less so. I like GSP, but would put any kind of GSP on an isolated rock and keep trimming...as it will take over your whole tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skipperawe September 8, 2008 Author Share September 8, 2008 (edited) hey, how long have you had that tank? is it just a 10 gal system? does it have a sump? is that really stable? Edited September 8, 2008 by skipperawe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde September 9, 2008 Share September 9, 2008 (edited) hey, how long have you had that tank? is it just a 10 gal system? does it have a sump? is that really stable? Yes it is a 10g and it has been up and running for almost 8-9 months. Does not have a sump or protein skimmer, just LOTS of water changes. I am setting up a 24 gallon right now. And, yes it is very stable. I do about 1/4 - 1/2 % water changes a week and use a coral additive weekly. All in all I spend about 2-3 hours a week, at most on the tank. You can keep lots of cool things in a 12 gallon. Here is my 10 gallon The one on the front is my Temp. Edited September 9, 2008 by Clyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davelin315 September 10, 2008 Share September 10, 2008 Hey buddy, sorry I didn't get a chance to speak to you much when you were at school yesterday. Stop by again and hopefully I'll have more time (I did get to shake you around a bit, though! ). Frogspawn is a LPS coral, fairly easy to care for. There was one that was in the 6th grade tank before that was in a continual state of decline but it spent a year in my home system recuperating and is now on its way back into school in the next week or so. It has added extra heads from having only 1 that was nearly clear, not sure how many, but if there's an easy one to remove, I can give you one if it doesn't compromise the health of the colony. Typically they are easy to frag, but this one was dropped into a hole in a rock to allow it to heal up and it may very well be fused into the hole by now and may not be accessible.

davelin315 October 4, 2008 Share October 4, 2008 Hey Bob, he lives across the road from me. Glenn, the xenia can go south for a variety of reasons, although I don't know that anyone has proven or pinpointed any single cause as a culprit in most cases. That said, pH and nutrient levels in a tank are the typical problems (lack of nutrients as they eat up nitrates, keep them in dirtier water to keep them happier is a generalized theory). How's all that stuff I gave you coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperawe October 4, 2008 Author Share October 4, 2008 (edited) its doing great, exept for the larger piece of sps, whitch dies about a week ago. by the way the piees that fell off of my xenia are in a different tank and are recovering , but the main piece is still in my tank and is shapping up nicely in recovery.
