I received a box of rocks today.

Thanks! The dog had the biggest smile all day then came home and passed out. When we got home we found Picasso hanging out in a hole right by Skyler’s hole.

Hidely ho neighborino!

Picaso must knows every inch of the rock work by now. He is almost always grounded, but we find him all over the reef in interesting spots.

Our Lobophyllia is in!

Placement angle may need slight adjusting.

Perfect spot and color for it! Nice addition!!

Night shots

Sleeping with the anemone

You can see the yellow sponge at night when the anemone retracts.

thats some flow in your tank

thats some flow in your tank

It is. I stop all pumps for 10-15 minutes while feeding. After, I start the gyre to get anything settled moving around the display. Then I add the returns after a couple of minutes (both came on for the video). Each stage adds about 600 GPH of flow in the 30 gallon display. For my mixed reef I feel it is near the limit for the LPS, good flow for the anemone and the minimum for the SPS. The flow is directed to be maximized for the SPS.

I don't turn off my return for feeding but I do turn off my circulating pumps. I like that the returns push the food around the tank for some of the non aggressive feeders to get some out of harms way.

@NY_Caveman My friend If R2R had a thread of the (pick a time frame) your thread would be a shoe in imo. Love the mix of info fish family friends. Don’t stop your prose any time soon I’d go into withdrawal

I hope to be here a long time.

@NY_Caveman your not very good at keeping secrets

Ha! That totally took me a moment to figure out! Then I remembered I changed my custom title. I am actually excellent at keeping other’s secrets, but my own life tends to be an open book. #HonestyInLife

Thanks all for the nice comments. I shot a pretty good video feeding the new Lobophyllia today. I sped it up to really show off his behavior. This was 16 minutes sped up to a 30 second video (32x). Pretty awesome creature. I still did not clean the glass, LOL.

Getting caught up! That is a great video!

 

[NY_Caveman]

Me too.

Only way to be.

Thanks man! After I shot it I was like, no one will sit through 16 minutes of that. Glad I busted the tripod out to record it. LOL

Nice video. You know the funny part is that it sort of feels like a bait and switch. You are feeding one minute, quickly, then I found myself looking at the rest of the video and what cool things I could see. Low and behold I spotted an amphipod or other small creature of similar type that then drew me in! I mean if you look closely you can see them all but then there is this darker and longer fella that comes in at around the :22 - :23 mark and I'm like cool.

Now I feel like a stalker.

I stalk my tank all the time. There are tons of pods, ministars, worms, baby snails, etc. I see them photobombing all the time, but at the high speed a couple of critters really stood out.
