good stuff so far, following along

 

[Solo McReefer]

Have been microdosing bacterias, pretty much after water change

Including Microbe Lift and MicrobacterClean

Very satisfying results

Liquid Plastidip

On your forceps tips

I wonder why these don't already exist

Something in my tank decided to eat a whole frag of zoas

Couple more zoa frags eaten. They are notably all the small polyp varieties

Cleaned the Tunze. Caulerpa is up to about 15 'leaves' now. Tossed 80% of the cheato.

Added some 11 12 frags today, I don't think any died due to dipping trauma. Added Frizt Bug Out to the dip, smells like lavender oil

Pulled an asterina out if the display today, first one I've seen in the tank

Everything is looking OK, acros are starting to encrusted out mostly, little new growth on the tips of some. Many of the browns are starting to color up now due to higher in the tank, increasing pH and turned blues up to 90% from 80%. Whites still at 10% for a few hours during the midday

Waiting for Luna's Zoom vet appointment to get 'her' Interceptor and Ivermectin

Bah, doc would only do Interceptor Plus. Oh well

"This is not a restaurant, you can't just order off a menu", they say

 

[Solo McReefer]

Doc,"How come you need Interceptor and Ivermectin?"

"One is for heartworm and one is for gut worms"

Doc, "Interceptor does both"

"Oh, ok" (don't believe him)

Doc "How about Blahblahblah?"

"What's that?"

Doc, "It does heartworm, butt worms, and fleas and ticks"

"She doesn't have fleas and ticks. But order what you like. You're the doc, you know best"

Doc, "Maybe Interceptor Plus?"

"What's the plus do? What's the difference in price?"

Doc, "Three dollars more, and the plus does tapeworm"

"Ah, OK, that works" (you said it already did tapeworm, liar)

Doc, "Can I see Luna on camera?"

(I gave her a shower, lavender shampoo this morning)

/points camera at Luna

"Can you see her?"

Stupid charades

@revhtree needs to add a feature that locks me out of all tang threads

"Tang Police, Hotline!"

"Is this where I report reefers keeping tangs"

"Yes, it is. You've reached the right number. How may we serve and protect you?"

"My neighbor is keeping a family of tangs, up in his attic. You need to do something about that"

I don't know why people want to just let this stay in their tanks

This is just one day, in a small tank

 

[Solo McReefer]

It's weird how

Tiny little baby hammers just grow out of the base of hammer trunk

Just erupted out of coral bone

There's like half a dozen on one, like suckers on a tree

Maybe it's not erupting, just saw a thread where the babies were growing out from rock. Maybe a polyp bailout propagation. And these 6 or so just sprouted on the skeleton

 

[Solo McReefer]

Well,

These are not gonna fit

 

[Solo McReefer]

Well, that was unexpected

Had to put another on ignore. Have no idea why that happened

Doser keeps pumping air into tubes

Oh let me break that down for you , my lfs nsw is 7.7 kh so I’d have to do 100% wc at least every hour and still it would drop Idiot!

I guess a discussion of reef influencers and podcasters is not allowed here

"Reef Beef" thread appears to have been deleted

Weird, wonder why

The post where an idiot calls me an idiot, remains. Weird, again

 

[Solo McReefer]

The elder reef gods intervened, apparently

The tank looks just as I expected
