I received a box of rocks today.

We will miss you!

Yeah, Cyanobacteria is still there, but I am not worried. Lack of flow is part of it, but that will be rectified soon. It seems to be coming back less after the last blowoff since adding a powerhead low in the back of the display. Everything looks better today except the anemone. Fish all look great. Just feeling better about it overall and staying patient.

I have a bad thing to ask. Do you know dinos really tick anemone off?

Never dealt with dinos thank goodness. I really do not know, I just assume dinos are evil to everything.

Lol Skyler, tart!
It needs a sandbed in my opinion btw, why do we not have sand again please?

 

[najer]

Just, in the S tank, keep it off the corals, get those nitrates up a touch!

I have never used sand in any tank, fresh or marine. Just seems like a place to collect waste to me. I do not see any benefit to it. I would rather keep the waste suspended for food and filtering. Just my humble opinion. If one likes the aesthetic, or has sand dwellers, those are certainly valid reasons for sand. In the old days I used crushed coral.

This is Toothless. She has done very well with sand. She did not do well with other substrates. Some abraded her toes off! Bare bottom stressed her out because she could not get traction. She looked amazing on black sand but her feet got abraded right off!

Beautiful Axolotl!

Got to enjoy RAP NY today with @Crabby48

Saw the Rev and a couple of other folks, but mostly took pictures of corals and inverts. Here are some of the highlights of what we saw...

@RichtheReefer21 we missed you and hope all is well. When I saw these Dendrophyllia it made me think of you

@Katrina71 this clam had an extremely teal mantle. Right up your alley. My phone did not capture it great, but I thought how nice a clam might look in the new tank.

@NY_Caveman and @Crabby48 I just drooled on my phone. Now, what's for dinner? I'm living vicariously at the moment!

I may have drooled in some tanks. Oh, and once I had to walk away because I was afraid I would spill my drink into a tank. ;Nailbiting Just like me to nuke a whole frag tank.

Cocktails and Coral? Oh my. I may need a chaperone when I go.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Ha! We needed one too. They only had beer I think. The only thing I bought alive was some pods and I picked up a new coral feeder as mine was damaged in the move.

Outstanding!!! Love the deep color in black widows! Out of curiosity do you see what they were getting for the Carpet Nems? Id love a Blue or Red one some day but when i see them on DD they're like $600/$1000
