Morning John!

Hows the new corals looking Rock?

 

[kingranch2003]

Good point Chris.
I shall retire to a corner and cry hysterically.

That's ok as long as you dont dress up as a cat or something strange :)

Good morning everyone or afternoon for many of you.

Howdy Tom!

Good evening John!

Good evening Kevin! Have to tag you in my lunch pic

 

[kingranch2003]

Any news on the corals yet Kevin?

I wish I could say this as I've been to all kinds of doctors, MDs and PhDs alike, and there seems to be no solutions for what's going on from the neck up!


Ohhh, I couldn't ever share a name because that's not my style. However, I think these may be more appropriate. I sure hope they don't give too much away. HA!

You know Chris, it’s people like you that give people like you a bad name!

Just some shots from my office tank! My clown loves his nem!

Nice picture Thomas, that rock looks amazing. Where did it come from?

 

[cdemoss01]

I hope everyone is doing well. No changes with the tank, snow over here has caused me to miss out on 2 weeks of water changes. I feel terrible but the fish are happy. Accidentally let go on scraping glass I plan to do maintenance today.

Omg ( that’s on my goat for you older reefers), that is right down my alley!

It was dry rock originally got it from my LFS

They are acclimating, I’ll get a pi when they are out of the bags. One is a bunch of blue clove polyps ( beautiful little dudes), pulsating Xenia and Kenya tree!

It lived up very nicely. I would swear it came out of the ocean!

@tharbin was it you who was getting the berghia? these aiptasia are popping up everywhere in my tank.

Yes. I used 10 Berghia from Reef Town about a year ago and they worked great but eventuall died out due to lack of feed sources.

A month or so ago my tank started to explode with Aiptasia again so I ordered 5 Berghia from @ReefEngineer. They have been in the tank for just over two weeks now. It is a little soon to be sure they are doing the job (it takes a while for them to start to show results) but I think I'm starting to see less Aiptasia. Either source is good as they all arrived healthy and hungry.

What are nitrates at right now? And p04

It is some gorgeous rock, I agree. My tank is a mix of live and dry rock. A good portion of the live rock was broken into rubble and added behind my AIO's backwall for mechanical and biological filtration.

Yeah well it used to be full of green hair algae for a while since you know water changes at my office were “not that important” for a while in my head. lol . Now I have around 1,000 collonista snails in a 5 gallon tank. They are tiny but yeah…. lol they are everywhere. I’ll take them over green hair algae though and I may start selling 10 on Facebook marketplace or giving them away lol

Wish I could tell you man... I'll have my license soon so I'll get a job and start buying more test kits. P04 is low though.

Some nice movement and color coming to the cube!! Can't wait

How do you know when to stop doing the water changes? All you need for nitrates right now is a bottle of cheap test strips. They will give you a good enough idea what your nitrates are. You do water changes for a certain reason brother. You dont want to be spinning your wheels for no reason Cam

I agree! That looks like expensive, harvested live rock. Looks like the old rock you used to see back in the day
