  1. mini in-tank refuge

    i was worried that my new green mandarin was going to starve after it ate all the copepods off the glass and the rocks. so i came up with an idea to use an 3 way breeder left over from my freshwater days as a mini refugium in my 40g tank. i stuffed it with cheato and let it float, it worked pretty good im a tank my size. the copepods reproduce and spread throughout the tank and when i think the cheato is "low" on copepods, i switch it out with "fresh" cheato from my refugium. ...

  2. "what's wrong with me..."

    about a week ago my condy anemone was acting weird. first it was lying upside down in the sand and it bloated up and it looked like it was turing inside out, then it flipped back over the next day but still looked bloated and it let out some milky white stuff and i thought it was spawning. then it looked fine for one day, it opened up about half way. now it looks like this. its been this way for about two days now. anyone know what's going on here? is it dead?
