Sorry to hear about your feather duster. They are beautiful too although they get stressed out pretty quick. It happens.

It wouldn't be a good idea to get either of the dragonets for the small tank. I love scooters and psychs but man...they have an unbelievable metabolism; and if you have any pods in your tank...they'll be gone in no time.

You...MIGHT be alright with the anemone. Don't quote me there.

As for your project...you've got the right objective and you can do it!

Sorry about the tooth. Definatly no on the dragonettes. The condy will be okay high in the tank but I would wait till the tank is 9 months to a year before getting one. New tanks go thru alot of changes and that's hard on the anemone.

I had alot of trouble adding another maroon. long story, but finally got a mate for mine. The tank is fairly new so might have better luck. Get one that is a bit bigger and you'll have better luck with getting a mated pair. You could also look into gobies and maybe a cleaner shrimp. I would give it some time for the tank to get over being moved, just in case you get a mini cycle.

i've been looking into purchasing a Chiller so i dont have to worry about my tank getting to hot, and killing everything off. Im currently working on sanding the stand for the 60 gallon in the pictures so i can stain it, or paint it to match where i've i am going to end up putting it. I will make sure to put pictures cause half the time thats what i look for in threads anyway

I got rid of the domino Damsel today, after i've had enough of him picking on my Clown fish. Hopeing things would have worked out, but just gave him to a local fish store. I also think im going to buy some drill bits on ebay and try to drill the holes in the back of my 60 gallon for the over flow. Any suggestions on the placements of them would be appreciated. want to do a cls also so i dont have to have powerheads in the tank.

Gosh i love Pulsing Xenia. I can't wait for my tank to settle down for me to get a Xenia. I moved my tank ans messed up the sand and going trough a big cycle. lost everything but three or four snails. but i love the Xenia.

i really like the xenia too, it was my first coral as well....
anybody want some xenia... once the tank settles it will grow, and grow and grow i love to watch it open and close, but I am also glad that it is now in a single corner of my tank growing over rock rubble.

After seeing a friends tank and how she was having to "weed" greenstar polyps and xenia i really do see why it is best contained

tank is looking good
