What's the latest and greatest things you've done with your tank today?

[LeighannW]

Big water change today!

 

[nitrox36]

I need to take a WHOLE DAY and clean my system. :smow:

 

[TriMax]

Did a water change on the 300g and one for the frag tank.

Plans are for more water changes for the 375g and the 120g.

Kathy is in phoenix this week. Hope to get a bunch down on the tanks.

Shawn - one day, do you have one day? :wink:

 

[Ole Man]

Changed the filter socks,cleaned the skimmer,cleaned the glass and ran a complete water test,Alk.Cal.Mg.N03,P04 and Potassium. :couch2:

 

[TriMax]

Wait, wait, wait. I need to add - I did a water test too. It was very wet and tested really, really salty. What's up with that. The fish and corals do not seem to mind, however.

:bigsmile: (just in case you thought I was serious) :wink:

[Ole Man]

Mowed the grass(Caulerpa bisserulata)which came in on some caheto this stuff is a real pain ! Cleaned the protein skimmer...changed the MP-40 sponges...cleaned the glass... And yesterday got the GFO reactor back on line...And watching it snow !!over it !!!:yield:

 

[Saltwater on the brain]

#1 - Replaced my Mp40's and mp10's with a Gyre 150 and 130
#2 - cleaned my dirty sump and return pumps
#3 - re positioned some un happy corals to different areas that they are now thriving in

Very happy with the tanks ...for the moment!!

 

[LeighannW]

what kind of fish did you add rev? I added a leopard wrasse a couple weeks ago and haven't seen him since I put him in the tank. any thoughts why?

 

[zoa_addict]

Cleaned skimmer added three new reactors from brs cleaned glass and finally added coral to 180 after almost 2 years of Dino outbreak!

 

[ptpablo]

I added 2 T5 bulbs under my canopy to go with 2 radion G3 pros. I really like the added color...now we'll see what my corals have to say about it.

 

[CastAway]

Cleaned the glass, adjusted salinity, harvested Caulerpa.

 

[TriMax]

Jeff, WOW

Some species (especially Caulerpa lentillifera and C. racemosa) are eaten under the names “green caviar”, or “sea grape”(海葡萄 umi-budō^?) in Okinawa. They have a peppery taste. Seagrapes are eaten in Indonesian cuisine, sometimes fresh, and othertimes coated in sugar. They are raised in Catanduanes and Cebu, for domestic consumption in the Philippines as well as exported to Japan.

New business for you.

 

[CastAway]

LOL
We'll, although I have seen my fish consume this, Caulerpa biserrulata is not palletable. Mine comes coated in amphipods, flat worms and slimy cyano. Yum!

 

[Ole Man]

Truly hope it isn't Flat Worms Jeff

 

[CastAway]

Oh yeah, I've had them for quite a long time. I noticed the first one at the end of June, 2014. They were small, clear, and folks here on the forum told me they were a harmless variety. Now however there are more, they're larger, and have the dreaded red tint - might be Red Planara. I have never seen one in my display, but they're in my refugium. I'm not in panic - I suspect most every marine aquarium must have them. I've been thinking of adding a sacrificial damsel to my fuge to see if I can get the numbers down. After your flatworm exit story, and the loss of your micro brittle stars, I'd like to avoid chemicals.

Should I be panicking Buddy? Between the C biserrulata and these flatworms, you really have me wondering. LOL

 

[Ole Man]

Jeff looking at that pic they closley resemble the Rust Brown Flatworm(Convolutriloba retrogemma) with your discription it's even closer.They like low flow areas more so then the Acro eating flatworms(different color).There not good but I wouldn't want them in the DT they will get on the corals and block light hense killing tissue a Melanarus Wrasse can make quick work if you don't use chems.
