    Mmmm - I am a little confused... yep, have quite a bit of that 'blue stuff' but it covers the rocks, which there are lots of.. a little of it died off recently (turned skeletal), which suited me fine coz like u say, it does spread a bit. Just got to keep making a bit more space for those...

    advice on copperbands plse

    I don't know what it's nipping - hubby over there now catching the C.Band and bringing it here. Whenever my friend is unhappy with a fish's behaviour he passes it onto me. Have not seen his new tank but heard it's spectacular - cost him over R250,000 and that was without the fish/corals/etc...

    Tx Deon :) I think it's SO untidy! We have not enclosed it with the doors yet coz we were still busy moving stuff around, adding the RO thingie etc, but I can't wait to hide all that stuff behind doors! Sailfin - he can be very boisterous - like the Rabbitfish and the Tangs, especially feeding...

    Hi T - I defrost in a little bit of tank water and don't rinse. PS - I don't have nuisance algae - that's just green stuff that has stained the tank but it's not hairy.. suppose it's some time of algae but it's very hard to scrape off, even with a blade, so I just leave it (looks kuk though...

    Hi J - gee thanks for all that. What I DO need is to get the camera repaired as the cell camera has given misconceptions.... I have NO nuisance algae :) The sides of the tank we have just never bothered to clean (it was given to us like that), and actually, even with a blade it's hard to scrape...

    what is the name of this coral?

    THANKS. It was an established tank when I acquired it and had been going for a few years. So that coral is at least a year old. Normal superglue? What brand? I just want more corals in my tank coz have a lot of rock that needs covering. ta Barbs.
