The Tale of the Tiny Tank (Fluval Spec III)

You could try to attach a flow penductor to increase your flow output without changing your pump.

The one output does have a rfg attached to it.

Partially open today. It’s peaking out. Noticed everything else is really happy. Good polyp extension on all my zoas and mushrooms are spread open. Did noice two very small aptasia on the bottom of my GSP rock. Contemplating breaking the rock apart or gluing them shut out of the tank.

You can get rid of those aiptasia with a needle and syringe and some lemon juice. It worked great for me just a few weeks ago. Load up with the juice and quickly stab and inject them with a little. You have to be quick and have good aim. But if you miss you can just try again when they come back out! Love the little tank, I started mine around the same time, check it out:

I bought some aptasia x I’ll be giving a try next WC. Love your set up. I bookmarked it to follow along.

It does seem to add a nice wave like/ pulsing flow to the tank.

Green dust algae starting on the glass. Light hasn’t changed so I must be overfeeding. Big WC tonight. Everything seems happy otherwise.

 

[DKaiser1189]

Moved some things around. Used aptasia x for the first time and man does it work. Killed it very quickly! I’ll throw up a pic tonight.

Aptasia X works well. It will not only kill aptasia but anything else that happen to swallow the solution.

Two months old today!

What LPS or softie would likebthe higher portions of the rock work. Medium/ higher lighting with good flow.

 

[DKaiser1189]

Snagged a Duncan and another chalice today at a good price.

got this thrown in too. Hopefully I can nurse it back.
