Chyendra Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 i think with shrooms you can either scrape one head off... or if you're trying to propergate them, you cut the head into sections, pizza like. Maybe someone will pop in with experience on this... but it's what i've heard Link to comment
3gEclipseGuy Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Chyendra, How do you get your pics big on a post when the size is so limited to post? Link to comment
Chyendra Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 i convert all my images to jpeg format... keeps the file size small enough to upload Link to comment
Chyendra Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 September update: just over the 6th month mark (started in march i believe, wow, it doesn't seem like i've had it that long) I've just recently moved into college and two weekends ago, was the big tank move! (it may not seem big, for all you 20g+ tanks, but 5 gallons is still stressful to move) After battleing sand algea, and evil scratches in my acrylic, and a never ending phosphate issues i decided... You know what... those barebottem people might have a good idea... so for now.. i've decided to give it a shot.. it's a little early to do any tests to see where my levels are.. but the one thing i'm worried about is my PH since i won't have the sand buffer any more... my PH was really low a few days ago, like 7.6 i think... I did a water change i'm going to test it again soon.... should i start buffering with somthing if it keeps staying low? anyway... heres an updated tank pic.... minus the sand of course!

Chyendra Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Heres one of my newest corals, a blue/purple mushroom rock i got for $15. It has two large shrooms and two tiny babys Link to comment
Chyendra Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 another coral i got was this cute little bunch of brown/green zoos for $7 they looked greener at the lfs, but i think it was all the actinic they had. Also they seem to change colors a bit, from rusty brown green, to a brighter green. My blastomussa was angry and closed when i put the zoos near them, so now the zoos are on the other side of the tank by themselves. Link to comment
Chyendra Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 My red shrooms had grown quite a bit in just the last month and a half. The rock i bought had 2 large shrooms, and now i have and extra medium size, and one baby. Here's my zebra hermit looking for food... Link to comment
Chyendra Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 my candy cane is getting huge! Each of the original two heads are spliting into three, so they look like three leaf clovers! Link to comment
Chyendra Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 my pink birds nest is growing a little but not alot. It's more bright yellow/orange with red/orange polyps, not as much pink as i was hopeing for, but it's healthy and polyps are always out! (ignore that big ugly aiptasia in the background... i just got some joes jucie... but i'm only killing a few at a time... don't need a spike from anemone dieing jucie) Link to comment
Chyendra Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 heres my green/purple ric. Its gotten larger and more spread out. It even has two mouths now as well... But it seems like it isn't as bright as it used to be... which is odd because it's getting PLENTY of light.... can i feed it somthing? I have DT's and some marine flake (which my candy cane loves) any ideas? Link to comment
MarLooney Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 nice blasto... i hope it does well. ours has grown a lot in a short ammount of time. Link to comment
Darold Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Wow, awesome setup. Love the aquascaping too. I am not looking forward to moving my tank either. Link to comment

format32 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Really nice... Good to see someone doing away with the sand. Nitrate and phosphate factory it is. On my tank with no substrate, I do a 5 to 10 % per week of real ocean water and I dont really have too much ph flux and it stays a good 8.0 to 8.2 Link to comment
format32 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 What time of day did you measure your ph? Also I have dosed this with great results. http://www.petmeister.com/item1087.htm Link to comment
kadaytar Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hey, looks very beautiful and very clean. I think i should remove the sand bed too. What is the Kelvin degree of 70W Ushio? Dont you use any actinic bulbs? Kadir Link to comment
EnFuego Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 what type/brand of tank is that? I like the looks of it...great job on the tank. Link to comment
Chyendra Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 I'm sorry i don't know the brand of tank, i've had it for several years as it was my very first aquarium back when i was just getting into freshwater. I think petsmart carries a tank similar to it. The 70watt is 10,000K Ushio and i have 1x13w actinic pc on the left side (but it doesn't make much of a difference) thanks for the comments!
