dshnarw Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 wow...thats a lot of coralline for a QT... Link to comment
BibleSue Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Thanks, guys! I had to find a way to cut corners on costs to get it going. There is some LR in it that I can use plus the filter, tank & light. It houses an urchin that likes to munch on coraline. It is pretty much a neglected tank except for water changes ATM. That is why I thought it would be a good idea to resurrect it. Link to comment

BibleSue Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 In the beginning.... From this to this For all those who worry about chaeto here is how mine will sit for several days. I have had it in the dark in a styro container in 70 degree room for several months & it still looked like this. Tank with something beside crud in it per the rules. Link to comment
