Third time better be the charm

[Stang67]

So the cuc is in and cleaning. But I think I may have an issue with my Duncan. I am really ticked. It looks like bjd so I immediately pulled it from the main tank and put it in the rubbermaid that's still up in the basement. I am so tired right now that I will just check it in the morning. Can't frag it stalks are too thick for my bone cutters. No Luols, no hydrogen peroxide and I only have Bayer for dip. So we will see how the weekend goes. This was one of my very first corals and there are over 20 heads on it. I even tested this am and nothing was "out of the normal" levels for the tank.
I need a friggin vacation again.

Checked on the Duncan this am and did the smell test. No smell and no addtl brown stuff. I removed what i could last night with tweezers. I am gonna let it chill in the Rubbermaid over the weekend and see. how it goes. Also picking up the recommended treatments in the event it progresses while i am gone and i have to dip to try and save. I have family stuff to deal with this weekend so i wont be here to monitor anything. Thinking its time to set up the QT tank after all. Just gonna use the old school 29g w/ hob filter. Never a dull moment.

Sounds like a tough situation. Hopefully the duncan pulls through for you.

I still have 2 coral doing poorly. They can't handle the sand anymore and I can't keep them clean enough. My wrasse has cost me quit a bit of coral probably. I'm amazed the frogspawn, hammers have made it this long. pink tip octo hasnt kicked the bucket yet. But, the head that bleached isn't showing signs of color either.

Losing an acan now, 1 acan still very strong even after being hit by my octo.

Welcome to keeping reefs I guess. We always have a battle on our hands.

Yeah I am starting to finally learn that this is a game of how do I not kill this thing I am putting in my glass box of water.

Adding new things angers certain coral, it's kind of interesting to see. I wish I had my old aussie torch. I'm not sure what caused it to die. I had it for a year before bjd took it. I would add a goniopora and the torch just threw a fit.

I had BJD and used Cipro which did seem to stop it. There is a thread on here about Cipro treatment on BJD I will see if I can find it and post it here.

Tank stuff after dinner. Did bee stuff before dinner (get it?) And found my new queen from a split I did. Think of a split as fragging a bee hive.
She is gorgeous and is laying like a champ already. Now if the other 2 hives can catch up we'll be set.

I am Super into this life. I knew a lady a while ago that was a very accomplished, beekeeper locally. I was able to source straight wax from her, which I used in creating a lot of my own woodworking finishes. MOAR of this spam please.

Wow guys I had no idea! You'll have to message me your contact info. I am extracting last years leftover honey this weekend. I am lucky enough to have Basswood trees lining my street. Also called Linden trees. The bees use them to make some of the coolest tasting honey I have ever had. It tastes minty! I will set some aside for you both. And if you need wax I have that too :) As far as spam let me see if I have some more pix on my phone. Just took this one today, I am sure I have some more somewhere! Thanks!!!

These were the 2 hives from last year. I need to take new pix for this year. Expanded to 3.

I have so much respect for bee keepers. You have no idea.

We're considering keeping those paper bees or whatever they call them. Upside is no stingers (I live in the city and have whiney neighbors), downside is no honey... Upside is they still pollinate my garden!

I'm also considering black soldier flies. Upside is they speed up my compost and even help break down dog poop, downside is ... I'll let you know when I think of something.
