Baby RFA?

How I beat ostreopsis in a few days. If you don't have a uv..

1. Got a 24 watt green killing machine from petco..a 9 watt will be plenty for you
You can order it online to save some money and pick up in store as it's probably in stock.
2. Dosed some microbacter 7 during the process
3. Turkey basted the rocks/frag racks/sand and got them off of glass right at lights out to get them waterborne.
4..and perhaps a key point in removal. I Used a nori clip and a piece of filter floss on front glass out in front of a powerhead overnight. In the morning the filter floss will be covered in them. Take out floss..rinse/squeeze under tap and leave it on a counter or whatever during the day. Put that piece of floss back in there before lights out again and repeat the process. You can use the floss for a few days before replacing it.

The floss was like a moth to flame with the dinos and it was saturated with them for a couple nights and then got less and less. By day 4 or maybe five there were no more. By day 3/

@billyocean when you mentioned filter floss on a nori clip, do you like set it up right on the powerhead or on the glass across from the powerhead?

Also, to show you that this isn’t a one sided relationship where you just give me advice all the time, how was your coaching this weekend?! See, I pay attention and care about other people too. My wife doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

Baby RFA?

Rip clean! Who knows what it is. Could be a baby Great White egg or something dastardly! Kill it, drain the tank, clean th sand 100%, bleach all the rock, replace the water 100%, and get new equipment.


Or probably a baby RFA.

Good idea, better safe than sorry, those things could be everywhere!

Maybe just set up a brand new sterile tank and toss this one out!!

We don't talk about tossing tanks around here.

I'll just "drop" this right here...

Pretty cool anyways. Wonder if that's why my tank seemed cloudy a several weeks ago.

I'm just going to leave them ( think I found another smaller one) be and let nature take it's course. I could possibly move it to a small basket but I'm afraid disturbing it could harm it.

Lol..tell the wife I don't feel that way! Coaching was good and we played well. Played against 2 top 10 teams in GA and played them competitively but alas we were no match to go deep in the tournament. Felt good to get back out there for a tourney though! I just put the clip/floss on front glass in front of where the powerhead blows from the side panel about 1.5 feet away. Circle is about where the clip was..clipped it on sideways and the floss was blowing to the left.

Edit..."powerhead" autocorrected to "pothead"..haha

Could be.

Baby yuma?

 

[stoney7713]

Baby yuma?

No yuma in the tank, only blue spot rhodactis, isolated for now, slowly covering the rock.

Baby yuma?

Looks more RFA, but it could be.

 

[stoney7713]

Looks more RFA, but it could be.

Unless it was a hitchhiker, who knows, maybe SBB sabotaged my tank!

 

[ryshark]

Hmm looks like it may be dinos. What now?

I had a hunch it wasn't diamots. Glad you listened and bought the microscope so quickly. Now we need to determine which type they are. Do they have a "sharp" point on one end like a sesame seed? I don't think they are prorocenterum.

 

[ryshark]

Hmm it’s hard. It may not actually be Dinos. On that sheet, I’d say it’s nearest the chrysophyte. I don’t see any movement, looks like small motionless golden yellowish spheres without much structure in the middle. Here’s the best pic I can get at 250x

You need a proper identification. I will DM you something.

 

[ryshark]

Guess which sbb acro is this one?

Which one is that?!?!?!?

 

[Yazannreef]

Which one is that?!?!?!?

Sbb rainbow berry!!

 

[ryshark]

Sbb rainbow berry!!

Wow did you just get that one in last week? Looks very similar to the sale pics, I'm kicking myself for not getting that one.
