Thanks! You should be able to find then if you type in fire and ice zoas on Google. I imagine something would come up.

Just a small update. The tank has been very very cloudy for the past couple weeks. It's driving me nuts! But I guess its part of a new tank, along with other algae blooms :grumble:
My new brain is doing very nicely. I had a little frag of my birdsnest coral and I stuck it in here to see how it does. I know its a new tank and what not but let's just say its a little expiriment. If it doesn't do well it'll go back to the 29. I did a large water change to clear up the cloudiness but its only a tad bit better. The green algae is almost gone tho :D well here's a couple pics.

Before water change.

After water change.

The brain this morning. The birdsnest is acclimating to the light right now. Soon it will be moved up to the top.

Tank looks awesome Brittany!!

 

[beeguiles]

Thanks Barry! I just wish it wasn't so cloudy. It's been like that for two weeks now. I don't get it...the cycle is finished so it shouldn't be cloudy...right?

Are you running any carbon? You might try polishing your water with that for a few days. Just a thought . :)

 

[beeguiles]

No I'm not running a filter or a skimmer bc its such a small tank. The carbon might help but idk what to put it in..

 

[NanoReefer]

could you somehow tie a bag of carbon to a powerhead?

Try an aquaclear 30, run it for a few days with only carbon and a sponge, dont put it those ceramic things. Hopefully that will help:D

 

[beeguiles]

Thanks guys. I think I will get an aquaclear when I get paid this weekend. Hopefully that works..

if you cover shipping, ill ship you a penguin 100 you could use.
