Turtle's Fairy Tale

[Brew12]

Alk test yesterday was 8.8dKH. I backed dose off to 2ml/day.

Also, I have a rogue crab to catch. My birds nest has been losing flesh altho everything else appears perfectly fine. Caught the little devil eating it last night.

Are you sure it isn't a Trapezia crab?

I used to have 2 of them that lived in my birdsnests. I think I am down to one now. They are beautiful, but I only get glimpses of mine. Once my birdsnest got big enough, he doesn't leaves and is normally so deep in it I can't see him.

Busy week, yea I'm pretty certain it is an emerald. Green body, stumpy claws... I thought the same thing but the color and shape is all wrong for a trapezia. I'll try and get pictures tonight.

The birds nest may just be stressed from my missed water change, and the crab is simply cleaning up dead tissue. It was definitely hanging out in it before the tissue started dying tho. With the storm last week and life just getting in the way right now, I'm a week behind my 20% water change after the 14 day fluconazole treatment.

How are the wrasses doing?

How are the wrasses doing?

Moved the radiant over to the display tonight. The black leopard was hiding pretty well and I ended up making a sand storm and couldn't see anything. I'll grab him tomorrow.

They have been thru 2 doses of General Cure and I've seen no signs of disease. I didn't see any reason to keep them in QT any longer.

Good to see you made it through the storm.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Everyone seems to be getting along. Found a full grown brine shrimp or two before I stirred the sand up catching the black leopard.

 

[Brew12]

Everything is looking really nice!

Everyone is looking very healthy and happy!

 

[SashimiTurtle]

They sure get fed enough. I'm really glad @Scurvy decided to part with the H80. I can feed a ton and the display is mostly(99.999%) algae free.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Just realized I got a picture of everyone but the McCoskers wrasse. Hes gotten a lot brighter shade of red. Should be transitioning to full male soon.

Nice, Glad it’s working out for you! I might be interested in your H360 in the next couple months if you’re willing to part with it... New tank will have a Trigger Triton sump. So 14.5”x14” fuge section though I may be better off with the 160. Not really sure what to do.

Shooting myself in the foot a little, but the H160 is a better light IMO. Might not have all the power but you can adjust spectrum a lot more than just bloom and grow and intensity is adjustable more than on or off. If you want the H380, it's packed up in a box somewhere. Just shoot me a PM.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Got chaeto?

I think its time to harvest a little bit of that...

 

[Fudsey]

Ya think ?!?! o_Oo_O

 

[sfin52]

Looks like it's time .

 

[Preme]

Looking very nice
