The Miracle Tank

[vetteguy53081]

The next time you eat a cracker, notice the holes all over it. They’re there for a reason:
The holes in a cracker allow the steam to escape, keeping them flat and crunchy, otherwise they’d puff up like a biscuit!

I found this in the bottom of the tank this morning. I think its a paly of some sort.

the only paly that I had that resembled this was a granda paly. That disappeared in the 75. Its possible it made it to the 90

Not sure on play but very representative of a blasto head or small button scoly

Great !!
Contact Red Sea ASAP. In the mean time, set up a temporary tank using a Brute type rubbermaid tub which is cost effective and wont leak. Once emptied, you can reseal if Red Sea is Not willing to help. Resealing is easy when done right.

Contacted them as soon as I saw it..waiting to here back. My LFS contacted them too. They do a lot of business with RedSea. Hoping that helps. Going to Home Depot tomorrow to look for a tub...

Do you have a Tractor Supply nearby? I would think they should have a tub. The couple I have came from a local feed store.

Is it the one in the middle, single, on the rock? Looks like the ones I have that appear to be the nuclear green pally. Mine are spreading all over, out of control. I'm looking for a predator and found the Gaudy Clown Crab eats them. Or Pally's in general. I've been on the look out.

Sample below. Took an image to save as a reference as I'm considering taking the tank down. In either case the green pallys I have sort of look like yours and they spread. I don't even now how they got where they did :D

 

[sfin52]

Mine has very distinct brown lines. Does not seem to grow fast.

I'm having serious issues with r2r forum keyboard will only delete one later and than removes keyboard. I than have to hit the box and do it all over again. Also when I'm typing the letters don't show up and I have to remove keyboard so I can see what I typed.

@revhtree no good.
