Got some Dragons Tongue macro algae shipped from Etsy today, it was really cold when it got here so I'm not sure if it will survive or not, but we will see.

Another day, another fishue, any ideas what stringy poop means?

 

[cypike]

Trochus snails getting acclimated. Bought some flake food to help with stringy poop.

picked up this dude today

Diatoms? Entering ugly stage.

 

[cypike]

Algae is still alive, even after being shipped when it was super cold out. I thought it was going to die for sure, the package was really cold when it got here.

 

[reacclimating 2 the hobby]

Turn off the lights during cycle :)

Diatoms are definitely taking over lol

Uh o

Also

These guys seem to be staying somewhat alive but not really multiplying I wonder what’s going on…

My water is somewhat cloudy today

 

[cypike]

Hard to tell from the pictures but it’s cloudy. Hopefully not a huge bacterial bloom.

I bought this dude today but will be delivered in a few weeks. If it dies it dies I suppose lol

man, i bought a frag of that in a $5/frag bargain bin and it took off and wound up looking amazing in the tank with the contrast it provided. That blue/green isn't something you run into very often. Unfortunately, I lost the whole colony with the tank crash from an equipment short.

What stand is that? Is it actually a stand, or something like a kitchen island? That thing looks awesome!

It took it a few months to really get going, but once it did it spread like crazy. Make sure your calcium levels don't dip low.
