plainrt Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Well all this time been fighting what I thought was hair turns out to be a strain of byropsis. Damn rookie I noticed other day when looking closer at it lol. This answers everything. Mag is going up daily with kent m until hits 2000 and keeping there till gone and then some. In a way I'm kind of excited cause I been wondering wtf for months now. I know I can beat this now and move on hopefully to liking this hobby. Quote Link to comment

latteslave Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hope you get everything under control. The flow looks killer in the tank... Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 All the hair algae is gone. I see tiny bit red slime showing up but that's easy stuff I'm back to being able to sit back and enjoy a tank vs not wanting to look at it. 1 Quote Link to comment

latteslave Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 you've got weeds! haha - as much as I love em, they tend to just pop up everywhere. but for a softy tank, it will do well. Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm pretty good at keeping them in check. Well all but blue cloves Iol.I won't touch again. 1 Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Some random pics. Traded off my mystery wrasse for some things. Some of which haven't been able to have in years cause of blue cloves. http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/3A0C083A-53C2-4922-BAED-D5073BDDC551_zps8guqdyfn.jpg.html'> http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/921CD6AA-EE16-4D66-B715-B3A9FD832424_zpsxa15alxh.jpg.html'> http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/5059564F-4C7E-407D-A751-E104C919BC1D_zpsyvu2xtcl.jpg.html'> http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/0FEB725C-927F-41A4-A70E-D04EBB2331DE_zpsayprpi80.jpg.html'> http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/A49C1618-95E6-4DCD-8B81-51D9FD189D13_zpsj2squkwz.jpg.html'> 6 Quote Link to comment
latteslave Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Always love orange acans. Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 It came from under LEDs and color I guess shifted under them so will see what ends up being lol Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Nice, I missed these updates. I follow to many damn threads. I'm so happy going back to T5, so much more fun than LED, not sure why. Maybe because I can swap bulbs on a whim? Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 So last week I decided to get rid of almost all the weeds. A friend has had bunch of issues with time to keep up in tank so I donated them to him in hope would spark interest again in hobby. What replaced the weeds. Yep more sticks. I think only reason they interest me is they are more of challenge. I'm still picking up more lps as I find them. Picked up a cool pink acan and another from best fish today and a nice red cynaria that I have been looking for at a fair price. Best fish always helps In that department. http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/236EEEC2-CA6C-439C-BDCA-7E856162C136_zps7vzhlmj9.jpg.html'> http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/7F52F648-645F-42C9-8668-07603E3B7B38_zpsoqlr0cmj.jpg.html'> http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/BA54074B-EF11-4CBA-9096-99FC048CD821_zpss8gleske.jpg.html'> 6 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 YES, fuzzy sticks! I agree, it's the challenge. I tend to ignore all other corals and focus on the sticks, the color or lack of it, growth rate ... it really is some kind of addiction. Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'm Getting some great pe on sps so far and happy with how most are encrusting etc.picked this up yesterday http://s5.photobucket.com/user/plainrt/media/386738D0-9877-48F6-BBAD-C8ADE8023316_zpsoavzzgzy.jpg.html'> 4 Quote Link to comment
shawnriv Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'm Getting some great pe on sps so far and happy with how most are encrusting etc.picked this up yesterday What kind of coral is that? I may need to add one to my wish list! Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 It's a red cynaria. Quote Link to comment
latteslave Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Tank looks nice and clean. Love the new coral. Quote Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I really feel Cynarina are under appreciated man, bubble out similar to a bubble coral, awesome feeding response like a meat, what's not to love. Sweet pickup 1 Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yeah I think they are also underrated. Love how they are transparent when fully inflated. 1 Quote Link to comment
Arkayology Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 What fuzzy sticks did you pick up? Quote Link to comment
