Jackal_Knight Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This is the Third clean up crew I have receive from from reef cleaners. I got the penny algae, not sure what it was but it was a nice red and my emerald crab will most likely eat it. I also got some pods figure i'd try them. but i forgot and was really confuse when i got a empty bag of water . I ended up remembering what it was and just dumped it in my tank lol. not sure if what i was suppose to do or not. http://s1325.photobucket.com/user/Jackel_knight/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141023_183222783_HDR_zpsm0cdedo9.jpg.html'> here is everyone chiling in a bucket some already moving around. oh and the personal confirmation email is a really nice touch thanks again John.

Always make sure you smell the water first for hydrogen sulfide (smell of rotten eggs). Sometimes you may get a bad batch and this can crash your tank. Also make sure to add pods at night and turn off all pumps/powerheads for 10-15 minutes to allow them to make it to the live rock and sand bed. Link to comment

CronicReefer Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 You will smell it almost right away and you will definitely smell it if you dump a bad batch into your tank. Link to comment
Jackal_Knight Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 ok i think im fine i didn't smelling anything off putting when i dumped it in or after. Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Your welcome! If you would like an ID for that algae post a pic, I should be able to ID it for you. Assuming the crab hasn't eaten it already. Link to comment

Smurf Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 John is a great guy to deal with. Bought my first CUC from him 4 years ago and it was nothing but great stuff. Plan on getting another custom CUC soon! Link to comment
Paandemonium Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Are you going to be selling/trading them anytime soon? Probably not, I only have seven right now Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Probably not, I only have seven right now That's cool, good luck with the breeding. I'll take a drive to New Smyrna and get them at the jetties, I've heard people find them out there. Link to comment

I'll take a drive to New Smyrna and get them at the jetties, I've heard people find them out there. They work great but just know that if it's a big tank you won't ever see em after you put them in. You'll only see the effects of their hard work Link to comment

This could be right, we had some that was in stock without bubbles that fish must have ate out there, who knows. Will have to see what grows from it, but that is likely what it is. Hard to tell from gracilaria without the "grapes" except by texture. Botryocladia is the coarser of the two, (what we carry at least). Link to comment
