Flippers reef 125 gallon

[Flippers4pups]

Been awhile since a update. Operation clean sweep is in effect. This will take a couple weekends to accomplish. Took out the rock that started the palythoa infestation and its in the sump. Neighboring colony of candy canes had them in the perimeter heads and required cutting heads out. Only lost 5 or 6 heads, but the fragging gave me 5 mini colonies. It's time to sell some and some chaetomorpha, it's out of control.

Second wave of Operation clean sweep is taking apart the right side of my rock work removing the SPS from it and building a new rock collum, then regluing them on that rock work.

Thrid wave is attacking the manjanos that think they can just pop up anywhere.

Daunting task to say the least, but if I'm to get ready for my tank reset this coming spring, it has to be done.

what do you use to take your pictures? for example that FTS is just awesome. How do you do that? and do you ever order pods for your tank?

Don, do you ever order pods?

 

[Flippers4pups]

Don, do you ever order pods?

No. Well yes a long time ago through algae barn. The chaetomorpha I got from a local hobbyist had tons in it.

ok thanks. I am looking to beef up the biodiversity in my tank and just asking around.

I have a Mandy and I do spot feed it LRS reef frenzy, but it's hunting all the time as they do.

I would seed the system with them if you don't see them.

FWIW, I found when Mojanos were small, they did not attach strongly. I could use a turkey baster carefully and just suck them up whole. Really simple.

Yeah these have been around awhile. I don’t think that would work, but I can try. The answer I’m looking at is supergluing them to death. We’ll see.

The tank looks so good like it is, I would be hesitant to disturb anything. But, I do understand the desire to tweak stuff. That is one reason why I have no water in my tank after two years. :)

I thought you were using a electric wand thing?
