00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[00W]

Hi everyone! How we all doing? Did I hear someone say REO Speedwagon??

 

[Calmwaters]

They aren't showing up for me. Which ones did you have in your cart?

I think it might be too many for such a small tank but I could also add some to the 125 sump or display.

Oh, so my cyano/dino situation...
Two sets of pictures at like 2am this morning when I got up to let the dog out... and one about 8 hours earlier. I can't decide it it's just the light makes the red pop or of its truly disappearing into the water column... that said, there's no bubbles at night and during the day there are... what are your thoughts?

Not good with the whole science aspect of it but mines the same.
Bubbles and more of it in the light

Sorry brother.
That's rough.
You'll slowly forget about those days and move on to a different phase, start a new chapter, here the word no have every sentence start with "what."
But the love never stops.... :smiling-face: :smiling-face:

It's totally worth it. The wife took him to town earlier while I was working in the basement. When she pulled in the driveway I was walking out of the garage and snuck up to the back window without him seeing me and as soon as he did I got a big ol smile and he pointed and said Dada! That little dudes worth all the struggles

 

[Calmwaters]

Im hoping so! The last few weeks have been a nightmare with him so the wife cant imagine trying to bring him.. Getting his vaccines and catching every cold/flu known to man since he started childcare on Jan 1, the wife and I have been so busy/exhausted. I'm just hoping he catches a break soon... he's also teething really bad right now so if it's not one thing it's another.

It's so hard when they are this age and first start school all the germs are rough on their little bodies.

It's incredibly aggressive! I have to blow my zoas off everyday because it grows over them and chokes them out till they actually closeup. It's wild. And I have sp much flow i actually struggle to find low flow spots for corals lol

Agreed.
No one gets sick until school starts...

Yea he's had the flu and rsv as well as some stomach bug and then a random cold like thing just back to back to back. I don't appreciate it much either because I never got sick like this before we had this little petri dish :face-with-tears-of-joy:

 

[Calmwaters]

Oh my word I just realized what time it is! I am way way way past my normal bedtime. Lol

I'm gonna test again tomorrow but last I had like 1.3 nitrates and .03 phosphates, but I had been dosing microbactor 7 pretty heavy and from what I understand it can help remove nitrates? So i stopped dosing like 4 days ago and have upped my feedings

Just a suggestion, take it or leave it. You want your nitrates at 10-15.

Good morning Remi!

Good morning John Doe!

I think it might be too many for such a small tank but I could also add some to the 125 sump or display.

The Galaxaura and blue hypnea are a bit challenging to get started. But recall they they are small to start out with, and none of these are invasive, so when/if one grows out you can trim it down or move it to the 125. I don't think 6 is overdoing it. Here are my 6 new ones from Thursday:

Actually I don't know where #6 is (ignore the enormous dragons breath).
Halimeda
Gracilaria (birdsnest)
String of pearl
Galaxaura (front left)
Tufted somethingornother (green back left)
