Lasses Dream Build

[Euphylliaphyle]

There is other things than fish and corals in my aquarium. Latest video that shows one of my (scary) beauties. Look 2.28 into the video in order to find a counter-evidence to one of the myths about snails



Sincerely Lasse

Love this video! Was the Conch getting stung by that (Chalice?) coral at 2:28?

 

[Lasse]

amazing video of an alien you are in the wrong business. i don't know what you mean by 2.28

Klick and see

No - he/she discovered gravity Like Newton but it was him/herself that fell -not an apple

Lasse’s tank is amazing! I really like the natural reef look and the way he focuses on biological filtration instead of relying too heavily on equipment. There’s a lot to learn from this build, especially about keeping nutrients stable.

The good and the bad. It could be worse - I have a Blenny who eats the entire polyp.

I have had a lot of different Seriatopora species (hystrix and caliendrum) since I start this aquarium. They are fast growing and rather beautiful sps corals. The setback with them is that they grow like weed but suddenly they no longer want to be part of your aquarium - instead, they bleach and die within a day. Its unclear if it is because of water parameters or caused by microorganism or a combination of those two. My believe is the later - its a combination.

Last time was a year ago and I had to throw away a 20 L bucket with Seriatopora and the tank looks like this after the slaughter

A couple of days ago - its looks like this

A rather good growth - but yesterday it was time for bleaching again and reconstruction of a part of the reef.
This part has to go. However - I do not know if I have stopped the process or not. The coming day will show if its over or not. One of the reason this time was that the left colony had grow up over the surfaces

Mysterious , and disheartening I would like to know the answer. I have a Kiwi tree that has been " deflated " now for a couple of weeks . I am trying to backtrack to see if it recovers. The only drastic things I did was to purposely overdose A- and K+ , and add two large netted bags of Carbon in the sump. I have not dosed for over a week, did water change , and removed the Carbon. Three days later a slight positive change. So for you possible things you have done ? I had the same experience with Seriatopora wanting to take over . I had to cut it back three times. Just what was trying to engulf my other Coral . A couple of months later it does not do it anymore , which I found a little eerie

 

[Lasse]

Its probably not over because I got some damage on a blue Stylophora that was in contact with my hystrix. We will see wats going to happen - still some large colonies of both Seriatopora and stylophora not affected.

Sincerely Lasse

 

[Lasse]

I´m rather sure that this is something caused by a microorganism of some type. I got one blue Stylophora colony attacked and I have to cut away damage part aggressively. It seems that it has stopped the "disease" on that colony. Sad to say - there is sign that´s one of my other Seriatopora colonies may get it too. Its difficult to cut so I will wait and see. I have also dosed H2O2 since I discovered the disease and started my Oxidator today.

This is all new to me . Hope all goes well

 

[Lasse]

Of cause it will go well - either the ones I have will recover or I get such a large open area that I can get new corals Today all space is occupied - and also probably the reason why it start to go south.

Yeah, that is about how it works and what I see while scuba diving.. Corals, and reefs, are built on the top of skeletons of older, dead, corals. I have some of that going on in my system that I need to reach in and clear out. Probably would help a ton with flow clearing the dead area out.

Hope your weekend is well.

 

[Lasse]

It doesn’t look like there will be any new corals, as the “disease” that caused my corals to lose tissue seems to have ceased. Here is what I did: wherever possible, I cut away the affected parts, and I also restarted my oxidator. Additionally, I applied hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) locally on two occasions.

Sincerely, Lasse

Almost looks like its Asexual and is in the process of propagating which attracts the fish

The video is taken 5 minutes after feeding - it simply stealing food (brine shrimps) that th coral catch 5 minutes before

Da qualche settimana utilizzo il reagente Salifert PO4 nel mio Hanna Marin Master e funziona abbastanza bene, con valori stabili. Tuttavia, è necessario un fattore di conversione per ottenere valori simili a quelli di Hanna. A lungo termine, la situazione non è del tutto chiara.

Esiste però un altro trucco per utilizzare il misuratore Hanna con un reagente di marca diversa. Si tratta di utilizzare il PO4-Pro della Tropic Marin, che dovrebbe fornire la stessa lettura del misuratore Hanna, senza bisogno di alcun fattore di conversione. Un problema, tuttavia, è che le provette del misuratore Hanna Checker non contengono i 15 ml necessari e alcuni tedeschi hanno scoperto che, utilizzando 10 ml di campione, sono sufficienti 7 gocce di soluzione 1 e 2 gocce di soluzione 2.

Non possiedo il tester ULR Checker della Hanna, ma ho il Marin Master, e queste provette hanno una capacità di 15 ml. Dato che la lettura con il tester Hanna è diretta su tutta la provetta, la quantità di liquido non è rilevante, quindi è possibile utilizzare 15 ml se il metodo lo richiede.

Ho iniziato con il metodo tedesco e 10 ml di campione. Si è scoperto che la soluzione dovuta in particolare dipendeva dalla dimensione delle gocce ed era molto viscosa, il che significava che l'aria poteva entrare nella prima goccia. Ma i valori fluttuavano troppo. Ci ha voluto un po' per sviluppare la tecnica per evitare l'aria nella prima goccia, ma da allora tutto è andato bene.

Ho capito che potevo eseguire l'analisi secondo il metodo originale con 15 ml e analizzare con il loro strumento di confronto, quindi versare la soluzione in una cuvetta Hanna e leggere con l'Hanna Marine Master nel mio caso. Con questo metodo è possibile leggere anche con l'Hanna checker - Per poco più di 10 ml di soluzione

Poi ho notato un paio di cose: la lettura del colore da parte di TM tramite il loro strumento di confronto funziona molto bene, persino riesco a distinguere tra i colori 0.05, 9.07, 0.1 e 0.2.

Con la lettura FM ho ottenuto 0,07, 0,06, 0,07, 0,07. Valori molto più bassi rispetto a quelli mostrati dalle mie precedenti analisi Hanna, ma forse più vicini a quelli mostrati dalle mie analisi Oceamo: l'ultima volta Oceamo aveva indicato 0,14 e Hanna, con la stessa acqua, 0,29.

Okay, quindi ho versato il campione nella cuvetta di Hanna e ho ottenuto i seguenti risultati: 0,16, 0,14, 0,13, 0,13. - media - 0,14. Sì....................

Poi, sulla stessa acqua, ho effettuato una serie di 4 test indipendenti con il reagente di Hanna nel mio Hanna Marin Master e ho ottenuto la serie 0,15, 0,14, 0,14, 0,12 - media 0,1375.

I metodi sono gli stessi se letti in Hanna Marin Master, ma è questo il valore corretto? O è corretto il valore letto con il confronto di TM (circa la metà del valore)? Va detto che eravamo in due a leggere il confronto dei colori e ci sono differenze piuttosto evidenti tra le gradazioni di colore.

Ora effettuerò una settimana di misurazioni in parallelo con entrambi i metodi e, se riscontrerò che il risultato ottenuto con Hanna Marin Master è equivalente, probabilmente passerò completamente al reagente di TM, ottenendo così un secondo parere sullo stesso campione!

Sinceramente lasse

Ciao Lasse, mi è sfuggito il fattore di conversione che applichi ai risultati del fotometro. Ad esempio, con le bustine Hanna HI736 (fosforo ULR), il calcolo è (risultato x 3,066) / 1000; se ho capito bene, per i reagenti Salifert, sarebbe (risultato x 3,12) / 1000?

Hi Lasse: I completely agree with you concerning Seriatopora. I have also had different colonies that grew up like weed and then, suddenly and very quickly, they decay and bleach completely. Cutting the diseased parts sometimes work, sometimes doesn't.
Anyway, congratulations for your tank
