Turtle's Fairy Tale

Moved the 1K over to my girlfriend's Reefer. Holy detritus snow globe. It's been running as a FOWLR for about 2 months with the only flow coming from the return pump. Water change over there this weekend.

The 3K is much more powerful than the 1K. So much so that I decided not to run it above 50% to keep from destroying my frogspawn. I have it set up on 4 different modes throughout the day. 1100-1400 is pulse at 30%. 1400-2000 is alternating gyre mode at 50% power, 10 seconds in reverse and 20 seconds in foward with 4 seconds of ramp between foward and reverse. 2000-2300 is random pulse up to 50%. 2300-1100 is steady flow at 10%.

New fish! I've always loved the copperband butterfly but never was comfortable with the challenge of getting one to eat. Well I jumped off the deep end and decided to get one. I'm going to mix in some blood worms into my normal feed to see if that will entice it. I'll swing by one of the supermarkets and get some clams and stuff too, but not today.

The tomini swam over and showed the copperband his ankle blade, and the copperband in turn showed the tomini his multiple poison daggers, and the tomini decided he didn't want to fight after all.

Looking good. Lots of happiness happening in your tank!
 
My friend brought over her Trachyphyllia geoffroy for rehab... got stung by I think she said a scoly and part of it is dying. I think the coral in question suffered a small amount of damage, but nothing like the trachy got. She says it's slowly getting bigger, the dead spot that is. LPS just florushis in my tank where her's is better for SPS, and LPS just kind of hangs in there. If I can recover it, and once she finds out why LPS do not like her tank, it goes back to her...

We get to enjoy it for a little while tho. :cool:
