Phixion Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 GHA I believe, I dunno I have some of that stringy stuff in my tank, fugly if you ask me lol! Link to comment
quy_nquyen Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 any idea how to get rid of it matt? Link to comment
Phixion Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 any idea how to get rid of it matt? Other than plucking it, not really. My CUC is dumb and never eats anything they should eat, or is that stuff I'm hoping they will eat?? lol My single lowely limpet seems to eat more than the hermits. I do need more snails though, I have one and I think it fell and bellied up the other day. Ehh I'll check it this weekend, it was like that for a whole MONTH in the AP12 with temps around 70F, haha! And it still lived through that. Snail of steel I tell you. But pluck it off, and hopefully your CUC will take care of the rest. Link to comment
er1c_the_reefer Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 can anyone ID the algae in the dragon eye pic? sorry, its probably hair algae from my tank. it's not growing rampagous is it? if it is, just toss and i'll give you a new one. i see my sallylite foots munching on it in my tank, but i really wouldn't recommend those guys if you have fish. for now, pick it off and hermits should take care of the rest Link to comment
quy_nquyen Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 no it's okay, havent seen any growth on it at all (hermits eatting it?). i believe i had it before i got your frags. the ones in my tank like to stick to the glass but comes off easy as i use the nimble to clean it. most of it is overflowing into the filter chamber where i temporarly placed a sponge to catch it. only a few left eric are there any special requirements for the lps that you gave me?

er1c_the_reefer Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 feed it at night when the tentacles are out. low to mid light/flow... that's about it Link to comment
quy_nquyen Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 okay i DROPPED the canon rebel XT and bent the inner tube of my 18-55mm lens. im going to try and take it to a repair shop to see if they can straighten the inner tube with the outter shell (sorry i dont know anything about cameras so i cant tell you the part name, just bare with me). if they cant fix it i guess i'll have to buy a replacement it'll be like a kick in the nut. as soon as i have that taken care of, i'll get some pics that i think all of you might like Link to comment

quy_nquyen Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 FragCity Corals (one of our sponsor) will bring tub blues for those that let him know prior to the frag meet. he's selling them at 10 dollar a polyp incase jin doesnt have enough to frag out. Link to comment
