    War and Peace Favia. Likes low light, grows good, and can take a decent amount of flow. ;)

    A chalice would be nice, too, except for the sweepers in a small tank.

    Cheryl your tank is looking GREAT!!! As a fellow cube owner I would love to know your daily/weekly routine to keeping such a pretty tank.

    P.S. That Stylo is amazing!

    I'd argue many favia's are worse on the sweepers than chalices. One of my favia's will do 5-6" sweepers; much longer than my worst chalice (2-3").

    Chalice has my vote. Plus I'll appreciate and feed on whatever settles to the bottom.

    Excellent suggestion, had not considered that particular LPS.

    Thank you Chris,

    Currently I just dose Little Fishes part A/B 3 times a week, and top of daily. Unfortunately the cats have persuaded me that cats, water and electricity do not work with an ATO, they just would not leave that thing alone.

    Huge fan of the Water Mellon Chalice, such slow growers though.

    Thanks you dyskers.


    On a frustrating note the new acropora lost a small amount of tissue, I am not sweating it, I think it was from transfer or too much flow to one area. It's not rapid, hope it remains that way.

    Looking good! Hopefully that tissue starts to stay put for you!

    Well, well, well... that only took 6 months of nagging... I had given up :p

    Glad to see you're back in the game swinging! Tank and livestock look great, can't wait to see how the mille turns out.

    Thanks for sharing with us, Cheryl! :)

    My vote is the Sunset Monti for the bottom. I think an entirely encrusted bare bottom would look awfully cool.

    It's looking great though, and I hope the new Acro is settling in after the little set back?

    Thank you Eric.

    The coral tissue never got any worse. I believe it was from a transport issue


    Thank you, it took more than 6 months. LOL

    I am leaning towards a montipora, I really love the Rainbows. If I thought I could keep the blue of the Superman it would be my first choice.



    As most know I have had a huge bristle worms for many years. He made the transfer to the new BB tank just fine.

    Well I guess he was out and about while the clown was out and about.

    The clown proceeded to tear the worms into small pieces. As you can imagine the clown fishes head and mouth are all spines now.

    Going to do a water change because for some reason the episode caused some cloudiness.

    Not much I can do for the clown, if it's the end well she lived a fighter and will die a fighter, stupid stupid fish, but I am fond of her.

    I imagine there is a piece of the worm large enough left to live.

    Tried to get an image of clown but to no avail, will try again tomorrow.

    Sorry to hear Cheryl, hopefully she survives the incident.
