That also has to be the cutest dendro! mine started small but not that small, after a year i was feeding it live ghost shrimp! Thanks! The Green Banded Gobies have jumped more than once So now I have a screen top that I made to custom fit. I just take it off for FTS shots. I love the blue a can too, what a beauty! It's finally started a few babies. I really hope they will get big enough to frag some day Nice! Looking full - great colors and those acans have me thinking about LPS Thanks! Do it! Do it!

teenyreef Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Happy weekend everybody! My proposal work is almost done and I actually had a little free time today So I installed the BRS dosers I got some time ago. I've been wanting to use these instead of the Jebao because I can control it from the Apex and get a little more fine control. I also diluted the dosing solution at a 3:1 ratio with RODI water, since dosers really want to dose at least 1ml at a time to be accurate. Here's a picture of everything in place underneath the desk: BRS dosers by TeenyReef, on Flickr And here's what it looks like with the file cabinet and computer back in place: BRS Dosers by TeenyReef, on Flickr I also did my bi-monthly cleaning of the back chambers and pump, and did a big water change. While I was at it, I applied some more hydrogen peroxide to the zoas. Some of them have developed a brown, algae-like coating, which I think is the cause of whatever's been bothering them for the last couple months. After applying the peroxide and changing the water, a lot of it peeled of, leaving clean zoa skin underneath. Hopefully they will all open up again tomorrow - about half of them opened right back up a couple hours after the water change, so I am optimistic. I took this shot right after doing the water change. I think it's interesting to see what the corals look like when they are more closed up. For example, you can see that the duncans have grown a total of 12 heads! Not bad from a small frag with two heads After Water Change by TeenyReef, on Flickr Link to comment
Merthynia Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Your setup looks very nice underneath. I prefer to not have a bunch of cluttered cables so I like seeing how everyone else manages theirs. It is great how much you've got packed into such a tiny space! Do you have any plans for the lower right sandbed? Link to comment
NanoClown Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Not bad? That's a nice little colony you have there Link to comment
markalot Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Neat wiring makes me sick! Tank looks terrific, I love looking at all the colors of the acans, rics, pipe organ, zoas .... Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Good thing that homeopathy is a scam, otherwise diluting the solutions would have made them stronger. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Here's the duncans this morning, nice and fluffy Duncans by TeenyReef, on Flickr Link to comment
vlangel Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Love this last pic and the fluffy duncans. I am definitely NOT showcasing any of my wiring, LOL. You can imagine what 2 tank's worth of equipment looks like all sharing 1 outlet, (at least the outlet is on a dedicated circuit). Link to comment

Do you have any plans for the lower right sandbed? Thanks! I can live with messy cables for a while but I'm too OCD to leave them for long I haven't decided whether to put anything in that front corner. The duncans get really close to it, so there's really not much room. For now I'm just enjoying the open space Link to comment
Merthynia Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Nice, didn't know if another small acan frag would fit over there or not. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hmmmm, I like the way you think. It would be a nice balance with the other acans. And I just happen to have an acan frag that's been recovering in my frag tank after getting stung in the 10g tank. Watch this space Love this last pic and the fluffy duncans.

teenyreef Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Jasper spent some time at his absolute favorite activity in the whole world - chasing the laser pointer around on the floor. He is obsessed with lights and shadows. I'll try to upload a video later, but here's the happy dog after we finished Jasper by TeenyReef, on Flickr Edit: here's the video: Link to comment

teenyreef Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 The hammer coral is growing and doing great! Unfortunately, that's not so great for his neighbors. I'm not worried about the monti cap since it always grows like crazy anyway, but the poor red mille had finally decided to grow a new branch after a YEAR, and two weeks later it get zapped. Grrr Oh well, hopefully it will start to branch out on the other side instead. Chemical Warfare by TeenyReef, on Flickr Link to comment
teenyreef Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 I found an old picture of the birdsnest coral from about a year ago. I think the growth has been pretty good. It was about 1 1/2" from one end to the other in this picture. Birdsnest? Stylophora? by TeenyReef, on Flickr Now it's a little over 3" across: Birdsnest by TeenyReef, on Flickr Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Wow- that bird is taking off, Ya hammer can send out some long stingers- has it unleashed any yet? Link to comment
teenyreef Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Your hammer is so pretty. Love your colors! Thanks! Wow- that bird is taking off, Ya hammer can send out some long stingers- has it unleashed any yet? It has a few stringy stingers that are a little longer than the rest. I'm pretty sure that's what's stinging the mille. My purple fuzz sps in the 10g tank had a tiny frag break off last night. So I have assumed it is a Sign that it was meant to go in this tank. I put it in a shaded corner in the back, behind the rastas. It gets a lot of light in the 10g, so I don't know how it will do here without as much light.

I've been feeding it a lot of reed roids which seems to really help. Pipe Organ Coral by TeenyReef, on Flickr Green Banded Goby #1 came out to say "hi".

Bunster Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Green banded goby! Love these guys.... That pipe organ coral looks beautiful too! Link to comment
vlangel Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I am with Bunster, I really think the pipe organ is pretty and NO, please don't name the GBG! It's too cute. Link to comment
