aiptasia battle going good

i bought 2 peppie shrimps about 2 weeks
ago, they have finally adjusted and are
munching aiptasias liek crazy. they
cleaned about 20 off one rock, 20 off
another rock, and a few off anoter, and
have the population cut to about 1/4th of
what it was in about a weeks feeding. i
totally reduced the amount i was feeding
my fish, and was careful to only put
enough food in there so the fish could
grab theirs but not too much that would
find its way to either the shrimp or the
aip's. also i have this tri-colored
damsel looking thing that will keep the
shrimp at bay, so the shrimp just hide
until night, so i think the damsel is
actually helping by keeping the shrimp
hidden during day, which is causing them
to go on overtime at night.

the t-bird works excelently, i have the
filters setup properly, and no more BS, hehe.
thanks guys for the news server info.

AWesome...filter caught that post originally. Yay.

Question...I'm still seeing a decent amount of green hair algae and some
red splotches that look almost like drops of red paint on the sides of
the tank. The red splotches don't scrub away with a sponge
either...suggestions?

The red is kind-of a coraline algae, but not as
desirable. Most people don't get excessive amounts
of it, but some people do. What kind of water are
you using?
