Thanks! I absolutely love the LEDs, they look so good in person. I couldn't be happier.
Also my snails came this afternoon! Smelled pretty bad, but looks like most of them made the trip so thats good news! I floated them for 15 then dumped them all in the tank per the instructions from reefcleaners, then I had to head back to work. So many extras in there, my package was supposed to have 26 of the small ceriths, and I got at least 50.
Yah it was getting old dumping in a cup of water every day, ATO is the way to go. Especially if you have an 11m old running around all evening when you get home. I kept forgetting to topoff DOH!
bige - thanks, it was a fun project and I absolutely love them. Have I said that before? lol
I rec'd my shipment of Hydroxs, so the first dose went in last night. Pretty odd stuff, looks like ashes. I decided to keep the lights off for the next week while i dose it, hopefully that will let things balance out a little more and the few clumps of bryopsis will go away. Next weekend I will do a WC and introduce my first few corals
None of the cerith snails in my order from ReefCleaners survived, so i'll need to go buy some this weekend. Those little ones just can't do the same job, though they do a better job of getting into the nooks and crannies.
I picked up some ceriths from my LFS to replace the ones that did not survive the trip from Reef Cleaners, as well as some blueleg hermits. Tonight I will do a WC and add some carbon to remove the Hydroxs from the water column, then this weekend I will be adding my first few corals!!! Very excited
I am pretty impressed with the Hydroxs. The day I added it, there were hundreds of hydroid jellyfish larvae on the walls of the tank, at least hundreds. The outnumbered the pods by at least 2 to 1. I don't know where they all came from, my concern has always been the white polyp kind. But they were 50% gone by the 2nd treatment, and by the 3rd I could not find a single one.
My next step is using Hydroxs as a dip to prevent any type of hydroid from entering this tank. If that kills the coral, so be it. This is my last attempt to create a hydroid free tank, as I have almost given up the hobby because of this pest. So I am crossing my fingers that my plan works.
