Did a water change today about 10% volume. Things were going too good had to throw a wrench in it.

Haha


Really just the quarterly change + skimmer clean + sock swap + top off reagents

Crazy that a 10% water change is $20 . It's not feasible for larger systems at the level some of the folk "recommend"

My clam is buried in zoas and acro

A buried clam sounds a lot like a personal problem!

The before GEESH

Trying to frag it the whole thing fell off.... no way to glue up that thing..... Stags dont base out, atleast not for me. Steveopora doesnt. Just foot on the gas forward.

My Cali tort is probably 18-24 inches at its widest spread and I am convinced it has one little stalk supporting it all. No base out, like it could topple one day. Haha


Are you going to re-add a CBB? I’ve been thinking of getting one to put in my tank.

Molly Miller or 3 ?

Frank I had no idea they ate them. Seriously smarty pants

 

[fishguy242]

ask @tbrown ,pretty sure Grandpa Steve was using them ?

 

[tbrown]

I have a Molly Miller. Never seen it touch Aiptasia but they reportedly do, yes. They're nocturnal mostly it seems like (or at least mine is). I also don't have an Aiptasia problem, but there are 4 or 5 in the tank.

My Berghia were added after dark in the 125 and survived the leucoxanthus and melanurus wrasses. Also had a single Peppermint shrimp in the 70 with both of them for more than a year. Haven't seen it in probably around 6 months though.
