00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[tbrown]

Now I'm afraid I'm going to overstock big time here. All my Florida ceriths sort of dissapeared I only see 2-3 every other other day or so. I have one turbo snail, 3 top crowns, and probably around 30 dwarfs? Eaten by my wrasse... Crabs are undoable due to the wrasse. Would adding the creeper, chitons, ox tounges and urchin hurt the tanks bioload?

Ceriths hide in the sand. Mine are rarely out during the day.

Third petco is a bust they have no corals and only clowns.

Also I need words from everybody here. Something very weird is going on. Water is evaporating at a way quicker rate than before.. either it's my skimmer or it's leaking, I have checked everywhere and 0 water. Ideas?

Is your salinity rising or staying steady? If it's rising, evaporation. If it's staying steady, skimmer over skimming or a possible leak.

That's a great question to ask!

I think I should take the pincusion urchin out. I already have a small tux.

Pincushion are great algae eaters but they carry your favorite corals around the tank.

Cameras for watching our tanks lol

I’ve actually thought of one since I’m never home lol.

 

[Calmwaters]

So ideas on what this one is?

I think they say down to 0.02 in 4 days on the bottles of Phos-X or equivalent...

@00W @tbrown
Down to 0.33 in 2 days lol, too fast but very happy with the results, Should I close the valve more so that less water passes through or turn off the reactor for a couple days?

Last a LFS receive this anemone. Never saw a foot like this. I don't know the price also.

Ship that to me please!

 

[Rocks reef]

Wow, is that a bta?

I'm thinking Heteractis Gigantae, possibly heteractic magnifica

It was sucked up into what I call the intake tube that sucks water up into the filter. It's a hang on back filter that is on my pico.

Are you able to put some foam on it to keep if from happening again?

Two of my RFAs look okay this morning but my favorite is dying I think. It's balled up small and faded. Do you guys think I should remove it or give it more time?

Give it some time, the foot is still attached. Tentacles are showing. Is the mouth closed or gaping?

Amanda, I forgot to take this out of the refrigerator when I left work last night! :crying-face: I’ll have to throw it out on Monday.

Nope, no way, I'd chance it! It's in the refrigerator, you're good!

 

[kevgib67]

That looks wonderfully awry to me...

I could only do this, thanks to Luis buying us cameras, because of the extra money I had that I was going to use to buy a camera.

Very bad algae 65 gallons. You new here.

New to the Smorg, but not R2R.
Do you know what your parameters are by chance?

 

[Rocks reef]

I got the biggest Duncan they had and this one that I'm not sure what it is. It's a pretty mint green color but it doesn't show in the picture.

Looks like a finger leather, good find!
