im glad to hear you not getting tired of pictures : ) and thanks for the great comments
well did some rearagging just a little bit ago i cant seem to kept me hands out of the tank....anyways everything looks great but my toadstools are being cranky i think its because i have them so high in the tank..so i, of course had to move 20 different things to move 2 lol...but i got them lower in my tank to see whats happens....before i got the mh i had no problems ,but sence my leathers seem to be picky on lighting,,its almost like there all getting to much ?well hopfully someone has some come back on this because its just a few of my leathers that are doing this( TOADSTOOL,DEVILSHAND)and its driving me crazzzzzzy to see just one or to things in my tank that are not opened ...im about ready to give them away at this piont....

I almost did the same thing with my mother colony of my kenya tree and my other leather. I moved them to the bare bottom and they are fine.

Nice looking tank by the way. I wish my frags would grow faster. Like we always say something too fast in reefing is almost never good. I can wait kind of I guess.

To the people that don't have reef tanks we do need to go to RA. To us in the hobby we don't. They just don't understand that it is a collection hobby. Kind of like tats, piercings, rock collecting, bug collecting, etc.

Hey there!
Great pics. I don't think anyone gets tired of looking at reef pics, do they?
How long have you had the tube anemone. I got one about 2 weeks ago and it has been VERY slow to acclimate to my tank. In the last few days it has finally been fully inflated with tentacles up and looking much better. I have tried feeding every day and almost everything seems to end up floating away after a few minutes. I've tried small pieces of grocery store seafood (shrimp, fish, oysters, etc) also mysis, and today zooplankton. I think it may have actually a taken a little of the zoo, but it was hard to tell. Every other "reg" anemone I've had grabbed food and stuck it in it's mouth! This thing doesn't seem to want to eat even if I place the food on top of it's mouth.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

make sure its getting water flow but not to much...because mines seems to like water flow...and try feeding at night ,there more nocternal then anything mine starts to come out about 4 o clock and is huge buy 6 or 7.....but once the lights go out his a monster ...never had any problems with feeding mine hes a hog try buying some mussels or silversides but i hope this helps ya out...and ive had mine for about a year know....heres a better picture of him...
oh ya i also have him kinda shaded,my spegetti coral blocks alot of light from getting to him...

I adjusted my flow last night so it's hitting the bottom and "bouncing' back up. That seemed to help him get his tentacles up. I'll try the silvers and see if that works any better. Thanks again!
