gkarris Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I have't posted in years, change in jobs and career. Wanna finally put together a nano-reef (had a 20L way back in the 90's when they said "small marine tanks" couldn't be done, and I thought the 20 was too big... ). Wanna get a evolve 4 - this seems like a great nano... Link to comment
LylaPico Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 The ricordea is cool - have never seen that before. You will have to post a FTS now that you have rearranged Funny that you mention that. Miranda the hermit keeps knocking it down. I might have to put her in the third compartment for 24 hrs until the coralfix dries and I don't have to worry about it. So I've rearranged it four times. Once I get it settled I'll post one.

LylaPico Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 So I might be getting a Molly miller blenny tonight. My friend kinda dived into the hobby a little too quickly (Like I did) and he's a busy person so to make a long story short, his black clown pair died and there hasn't been a wc since he got it. And it's a 3G half moon. Sooooo.... He said the blenny didn't look too good before he went to work. Hopefully I can get him revitalized. I think this means I'll have to go a 10% wc ever day until he gets better though. :/ Link to comment

LylaPico Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 please elaborate. I've never heard of that. Anything that can help is welcome. I haven't seen him yet so I don't even know how tough he is. Link to comment

I haven't seen him yet so I don't even know how tough he is. garlic is a natural supplement that can be used to boost the immune system, there are many different ways to dose it. Can be from a clove or a liquid supplement, all depends on what you prefer. I use it few times a month to improve the slime coat on my fish which helps fight off ilness. Link to comment

Once I got her home and in the tank she's been okay. I have't posted in years, change in jobs and career.

Wanna get a evolve 4 - this seems like a great nano... Way cool!!! I love mine. If you're super OCD about scratches though, you do have to be careful. But it is pretty awesome. If you have any questions you can ask me. Link to comment
LylaPico Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 So this is LF otherwise known as Little ####er. She would dominate the rock work in her old tank and wouldn't let anything near it. She's been resilient so far so fingers crossed!! Link to comment
LylaPico Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 small update: LF ate two or three bites this morning. She might be mad because I don't have as many holes in my rock work as her old home. although she did find the emerald's cave..... we'll see how that plays out. Link to comment
LylaPico Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 So Little F is doing just fine. But Miranda the hermit crab keeps knocking over my rics and dislodging them. So I threw her butt in the the first chamber in The back of the tank and she may go visit my friend that gave me the blenny. Seriously. I've had to re-glue it like 5 times. :/ dang crab.

LylaPico Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 So for future reference, I'm looking at getting an nano box mini tide. I saw it on teenyreef's little set up and fell in love with the colors. Unfortunately, I'm a college student so I have to tuck some money away each check for one. This is also due to the fact that I should be saving up for a washer and dryer at the moment for when I move into my new apartment. Although I may just craigslist those to be honest.... Priorities are in order. lol Link to comment
LylaPico Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 PS. The supplemental beta heater wasn't a good idea. I almost cooked everything because it doesn't have a controller on it. No wonder the hammer still isn't happy. Poor guy. The rics are loving it though. Go figure. Link to comment
cmccorkle2005 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 please elaborate. I've never heard of that. Anything that can help is welcome. I haven't seen him yet so I don't even know how tough he is. I've had several people tell me this over the years too - That garlic is a natural immune booster for fish and actually helps fend off parasites after acclimation or when they are sick. The Spectrum Pellets I am using in my tank now actually already have it added. PS - He looks like he is doing good Link to comment
LylaPico Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 She is. Fat thing. She ate almost .5ml of cyclopseeze and my lfs'so color pellets by herself. She even stole some from the emerald crab. Link to comment
LylaPico Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 So I get paid Friday. And my lfs knows me well. So they bought 100 rics..... My ric garden will be complete!!!! Link to comment
DefStatic Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I own an Evolve 4 as a planted betta tank. I think this is really great to see one used for a reef tank. And successfully! Link to comment

Thank you. Do you have a thread on yours? I'd love to see it because I've always wanted another one as a shrimp tank. Link to comment
LylaPico Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Looks really good so far! Thank you!!! Link to comment
LylaPico Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Get ready for all the pictures!!! (Sorry I don't have a fancy camera. I'll get my art major friend to take some pics at some point.) fts (04/16/15) Gus chowing down. And a blurry close up of the dippin' dots ric. Link to comment

The tank looks great - Amazing how much you have in that little space. Gus is an emerald? He looks white in the pic... Link to comment

Yeah, he is an emerald. Yeah, the shipment they got in were all white washed. They weren't sure why but he's actually more colored than some of the others that were in the same tank. Link to comment
LylaPico Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 So the Orange ric is actually already splitting. It's dividing into three heads on one, three on the other. The pinching process is almost complete, I'll get pics tomorrow, lights are already out. LIttle F is still doing good. Fed her a few pellets this morning. I'll do a full feeding tomorrow and try to get pics. Link to comment
DefStatic Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Daw. Thank you. Do you have a thread on yours? I'd love to see it because I've always wanted another one as a shrimp tank. I do but it is on another forum. Not sure what the rules are around here LOL. It is nothign special, although I think I am the only one to find a better way to reduce the flow. There are a lot of ways, I just think mine is the most efficient. And for the media section, I basically have the same setup you would find in an Aquaclear 70, so it will basically last forever.
