The Miracle Tank

[User1]

And to think of when we got those live rocks from Walt Smith loaded with all sorts of stuff back in the 90s and before. I do miss those days of cool stuff growing in your tank that you didn't buy.

Yeah - my first batch of live rock was ordered through harbor aquatics I think it was. The live stuff from Fiji wrapped in news paper and shipped overnight. Maybe even two day back then. Fun stuff for sure.

Edit: Oh @Fin your avatar reminded me the other day to pick up the 45th anniversary of Jaws :) I did, it arrived today. Hope the 4k version is great.

I have found a couple of aptasia in the dream. I can't pull the rock and peppermint shrimp are almost impossible to find at the moment in my neck of the woods.

I would like to cover these. Suggestion on what I could use underwater.

if you can get ahold of an insulin needle or something of the like you can inject boiling water into the flesh around the mouth or this of course..

That was the best ever!

I will take sponges and macroalgae, but you can keep your bristleworms, aptasia, and other mysterious hitchikers like the random baby mantis shrimp.

Lol or pull the rock out of the tank and take a lighter to them that will solve the problem also and I am almost certain they can’t reproduce from a tiny pile of ash

Yeah - I think her husband had a heart attack or something, right? It was a great place for sure and super friendly. Really loved the hobby.

Looking through some old pics. This was the original "Pirates Reef" from about 14 years ago. All seven gallons of it.

... Yeeeeah I'd separate any wrasse from ANY invertebrate, not just nudibranchs. They'll devour them in short order. Use F Aiptasia. It's basically super glue, but more controllable underwater.

Not leapords they are reef safe unless its a pod than its game on. Never seen my leapord go after anything but my frozen and pods. It does dig around in the gsp and zoas. If there are any zoa nudie I'm sure they are gone.

My melanarus wrasse on the other hand is a terror to any invert that enters its tank. Like a pack of wild dogs on a three legged cat.
