And here are some short videos

 

So I have a Hydor FLO Rotating Deflector connecter to a powerhead. It creates some nice alternating flow in my tank. So to show this, here is a video of my GSP waving in the flow.

 

 

Oh, and because I love microfauna, here is a video of some feather dusters

Updated post #1 with current hardware specs, for anyone who is curious.

 

Also, took some more pics!

So my babylonia snail decided to climb onto my powerhead and hang upside down for a bit before falling down clumsily. Made an animated gif of it (sorry for the changing aspects)

Well, a good filter does that haha. It takes all the bas stuff out of the water while I just sit back and enjoy the view. Also, I'm pretty lazy with the tank in general haha

 

Oh, yes, laziness has set in. Hopefully no nasties settled during that time. Tank still looks great from the photos

oh my good god, I'd have cried. T_T I think with roots and new stalks, you should be okay! :wub:

 

did you figure out what's eating them? :'(

 

I have a feeling this might have been the culprit: Phyllodesmium colemani

 

Eats pipe organs (and other octocorals I think). Looks just like the white pipe organs I originally had:

Gah, i've been hesitant to do a FTS since the star grass and pipe organs were almost wiped out, but since it's been requested i guess I'll have to do it lol

:D Well it can be like a before and after picture then when it's all grown in again! plus it'll document your progress for you to look back on, right? :)

I'm almost 100% positive that it is Anemonia gracilis ,The Graceful Anemone. So don't call them majanos anymore! lol

 

If anyone's interested, here's the discussion on Albert Thiel's thread:

Yeah, but also I need to do some glass-cleaning to make it presentable haha

Updated the stocklist again. Forgot my snails!

 

I think my elegance is eating all of the asterinas I've carefully added to the tank... The other day I saved one of them from the middle of its tentacles. I think it was only half alive by the time i got to it... But I think this is what's happening to them, since the elegance's tentacles are right up against the glass where the stars are always passing by...

Well, it's recovering slowly, but the good news is that is seems to be steadily accelerating it's growth. Keep in mind it's recovering from basically only having one stem.

What is that yellow one? A leuc?

 

Dendrobates leucomelas. I don't think the photo shows it, but the ones I have are actually a nice metallic yellow. Super cool.

 

They also have a really cool mating call. Perfect for making it feel like you brought some of the rainforest into your home
