  • What is that at 2:22? I've got nests of them.

  • @OreChasm That is a yellow sponge colony. If you have lots of them, good for you. Means that you have lots of planktonic food in your tank. If they get out of control they may start to take up all the natural food sources and your corals could slowly starve. Ultimately though, the fact that they are growing well is a good sign.

  • incredible tank. doesn't your huma trigger go after your corals?

  • @konkanson No.

  • Hey... nice tank. Got a question. How's that Kent Nautilus EX skimmer? Is it anygood?  I'm about to purchase EX-30 model and couldn't find any good reviews anywhere.... thanks a bunch....

  • @pyekhine To be honest, it is sort of a pain and doesn't perform as well as I'd hoped.

see all
