Diefs 120 Peninsula

[DiefsReef]

Dang Deif's! Y'all know how to road trip!

Congratulations on 30 years!

Let's see them Corals!!

Lol, yeah it was one heck of a trip!
Thx for the congrats, seems like was yesterday we were in the church getting married.
Dipped and moved 15 coral today and still got 30 to go. Went much slower then I thought it would but we'll get it.

Well, all frags are now in the DT. So happy to have a tank full of coral, but they are all still pretty ticked off. Now just need more CUC and patiently await the next batch to complete QT.

Lol, yes, plenty of snails, but they are not keeping the algae at bay. Need a few more algae eaters as well as some peppermint shrimp to battle aptasia and a crab for the bubble algae. :crying-face: ;)

The dip for lps goes like this...it has grown and a lot of people have added and adjusted but here's what I do.

4gal tank water mix 500mg cipro and 10 scoops of chemiclean.

After thats mixed add
Iodine 5 droppers full
amino acid 5ml
Coral restore 5ml
Witch hazel 5ml

Let the coral sit in the bath with no heater and an airstone for about 6 hours.

I've found if there is heavy damage I will add a heater and go for 12 hours and add Iodine again every couple hours.

In the 3rd to last pic there are a lot of flat worms on the hammer.

Those will definitely spread in your tank but it sounds like you got that under control ;)

Yea I see that one on the left side looks a little blech... if it's fresh saltwater may want to dirty it up with a smidgen of skim mate as well.

Removed the bad head, changed out about 8 gallons of water with tank water from the 120.
Will see how they all look in the morning

 

[DiefsReef]

I need like a dozen of those lol...

Same, but they're not cheap and recommendations are one per 10 gallons. It's expected that they will reproduce and over time rid the tank of aptasia completely ....fingers crossed!

"at the nudi bar"...;):D
