I may be off, but I think I remember a post with a nice piece of rock with leathers in the beginning- not the right stuff for a new tank. I needed months before I could keep leathers alive. Another post had your cleanup crew dying- you don't need a clean up crew until you have algae- Maybe...

I couldn't trade or give away the pink damsel that was harassing the fish in my 40. I'm getting closer to getting the 75 up and running, so I moved it to the 30 today with a Fiji devil and a yellow dotty in it- it's a bit stressed out- already has a nip or two out of it's tail and is swimming on...

I don't know what went wrong the first time, but larger tanks are easier to maintain for me- less topping off, easier to keep an eye on parameters. Maybe you rushed the 15g along too quickly the first time- patience is the key in this hobby

If you still have the 15g, why not switch to that. Do not switch the sand- toss it- I'd make or buy new water, get the tank temps and salinity to match and then move your rock and corals- I'd stick with zoas and the gsp, maybe add a kenya tree and/ or xenia and let it mature for a while before...

I think @Salted has one

I have sponges- pineapple and one that looks like roots from a tree/ plant, but none with a center and 'fingers'- almost looks like a pink zoa/paly

I pulled all the rock out of the 13g to remove/ treat for bubble algae and found this on one when I turned it over- one pic is the whole underside- the other is cropped to show 'it'

Pulled all the rock out of the 13g today, scraped and treated with peroxide- more bubble algae than I thought- not sure if I got it all- reset all the zoas- will most likely rescaping for a couple of days. I have a feeling that I didn't get all the algae and will eventually have to treat with...

Adam's is more of an animal pet shop- some fresh water tanks in the front- salt water all the way in the back- Like I said before, old school- pvc pipes in the bare bottom tanks- only bright lights are in the tanks with coral- no small frags- tanks have post it notes on them when the fish came...

You could call Adams and check first

Adam's Pet Safari in Chester usually has Anthias- old school pet shop- but clean and healthy fish- marks when the fish came in on tanks- good luck finding a pair of watchman. Mike in Parsippany has Peppermint shrimp ( advertises on craigslist- has nice coral frags too)

I've read that they are fine once you have it under control, but not for outbreaks. Don't think an emerald would work in my 13 lol

Right now all I see are maybe a dozen scattered around the 13g- I'm going to start out with removal of the rocks/ scrape and treat with peroxide to start- if it shows up in the 40, I may have to treat- hopefully I won't have to treat the 13 at all- and yeah, I got the marine one- says it's safe...

Thing is, the 'marine' version is supposedly safe for corals/ inverts- and much harder to find in a 16oz bottle

I got that too, so I'm hesitant on using it, but ordered some anyway just in case- something else to add to the 'medicine cabinet'

I noticed some bubble algae on frags the rock in my 13g. I plan to take the rock out, scrape it and treat with peroxide- wondering if i should treat with Vibrant or just keep an eye on the tank- some of the rock/frags came from my 40b- now I'm wondering if it's in there too, but just not visible...

I need to condense , not add to my equipment/water needs- a 13g pico, 40b and the 75 is more than enough- maybe too much

Right now I have 4 tanks- a 13g, the 29cube, a 40b and a 30l. The plan was to move the rock and fish from the cube and 30l to the 75- the 13 is a pico with a couple of small fish and some zoas, the 40b is set as far as fish go- I just don't have a lot of coral- some zoas/palys- kenya, gsp a...

@nightmarepl has a 32cube for sale- I just have to get my head straight- I have everything I need for the 75g to get it up and running- stocking it will be a problem

Setback with the 75g- have some major work that needs to be done on my furnace- the tank will not be available right away- I may have to rethink about selling it now and hold off and try craigslist- I hate backing out on any promise- have to get my finances in order
