Hopefully you can get yours running right ASAP I just swapped it out for a new one (the whole unit). I'll give it another shot. Quote Link to comment

Recs for gorgs? You better believe I have them! 😁 The hardiest choice on KP's page is Pseudopterogorgia sp., which I believe they market as "purple sea feather." A beautiful and practically indestructible gorgonian and a great first choice. The "spiny orange gorgonian" (Muricea elongata) is also a good solid option, as are any of the "sea whips" from the genus Pterogorgia. Corky fingers (Briareum asbestinum) is another perennial favorite, but keep in mind that this species can aggressively colonize and kill other gorgonians that it comes in contact with. It's a very beautiful and rather hardy choice though, and shouldn't cause any problems as long as it is placed properly. 3 Quote Link to comment

I knew I could count on you for a good rec. :) 1 Quote Link to comment

Leaning towards skunk cleaner only bc I think it would be out and about more (but I do prefer the look of the fire). 🤔 2 Quote Link to comment

Scotty Amen Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The other day my wife was watching a house-renovation show on TV (the one with the two twin guys, Drew and Jonathan?) and they dressed the living room with the same cactus pottery pieces that you have. I was like "I KNOW WHERE THEY GOT THAT, IKEA!!!" haha just because you said so here. 😄 3 Quote Link to comment

I want to change things up from time to time, so I'm on the look-out for more decorative pieces. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Nemo and Nemo II basically just hang out on the side of the tank near the IKEA cacti. Maybe they think the cacti will host them. 😅 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment
