 |  Thought i would update everyone
Hey everyone, well havent been on in a long time. dont even know how long...just along time. my tank has been doin very well and corals are growing and lookin great!!!!
today i got a stalk of xenia and 2 yellow toadstool (which was 50 bucks for 2 thought it was good so i went for it).
the only thing that doesnt seem to be doing so well any more is the flower pot   
but other then that everything is growing.....GSP is a weed i swear !!!!!! and my carpet anenome grew SOOO MUCH since i got it. i have only had it for about a month and its trippled in size, maybe more

Flowerpot is a hard one to keep alive. I'll never buy one again. Alveopora being easier than goniopora. |
