divecj5 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hey Digg....sweet pickups for sure. I really like those florescent daisies and that variety of star polyps. The polyps look like they are dark green with hints of purple almost. Although they do look kinda small, I'm sure with your care they will be growing like crazy. Link to comment
Bonsai Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 The Regular Daisys that havent opened yet.. but im pulling for them Any luck on the Daisys opening? Link to comment
smoknta Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 What kind of light is that? I'm guessing it is submersible? Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 thanks guys... i know im some what dissappointed in the size of these frags i really thought they weere gonna be bigger.... Fiction thanks for the site... im waitin for you to send me some of your Daisy. so i dont have to go search on here for them:) Bonsai.. yeah they are starting to open a little.. but not likke they should.. im going to relocate them and maybe do a DIP. Smoknata yes its submersable.. i bought it from a member on here. Dive thanks for the kind words as always my next Addition will be some Bright Deep Red Mushrooms.. one of the LFS about 1 hour aways has all the nicest stuff. so i think ill be makin a drive and pickin some up... i think they will look good right in the middle in between the Blue Shrooms and the GReen White Stripe shroooms... and im going to glue the little frags i got within the rock work.. o and i need to get a baby peppermint shrimp also,.. have a few apitasia..

diggman08 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 even with water changes every week... i cant keep the acrylic clean.. i mean the next day after scrubbing and what not.. that brown dots and gunk is back on there... what could be the deal??? ive never had to clean a tank soo much... i have Chaeto in the HOB... maybe just some snails will do the trick Link to comment
airangel Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hey Digg What are you using to keep things clean? Does C Jerome have a Nimble thats acrylic safe? I can't wait till it's time to add a CUC to mine Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 hey angel.. ive been using a tooth brush and filter floss... i think jerome has acrylic nimbles.. dont think there stong enough though... because i have to literally scrub HAARRDDD to get these brown dots offf.. its really been T'ing me off Link to comment
divecj5 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hey Digg. I get these occasionally as well and usually have to go to town on them with a razor blade. It usually takes them a month or two before they get to a point where I have to go that drastic. I'm not really sure it there is anything out there to handle it biologically (snails, etc.). I understand what a pain they are for sure. Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 yeah dive the biggest pain is i cant put the Razor Blade to this acrylic.. it will for sure scratch the livin you know what out of it.. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I was thinking the same thing....and you said that you don't think the Nimble would be strong enough? I know that there are a lot of people on here that really live by those. I was thinking of getting one myself since the mag float is kinda weak sometimes. Maybe worth a shot asking around or asking him about it. Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 yeah maybe i wil shoot him a PM Link to comment
divecj5 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 How are all the frags doing? Did the daisy polyps ever open up for you? Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 yeah they opened... they kinda loook like the ones i already have in there... i cant get over the amount of cleannin i have to do with this thing though... its crazy.. hey can i actuallly mix Purigen and ChemiPure into the same pouch??? i dont see what it would hurt... im thinkin that will help keeping that lil 2galllons of water sparkling clean... i also may need to get a small zoo-med powerhead to get that sand agitated more.. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If I remember right, the pouch that the purigen comes in is a finer mesh than the Chemi-pure bag, right? If not, I don't see why it would do any harm to mix them together. Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 im gonna do it... i canjust cut open the purigen pouch.. pour about half out and save it.. then pour half Chemipure in.. and zip tie it back up... i guess it should work..lol... Link to comment
clownfish1124 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 good luck! i was thinking of doing the same thing, so keep us updated! Link to comment
Zombo Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well, I'm a fan of Pura Filter media and Polyfilter -- I feel I get the same benefits of Chemi-Pure, but the ability to cut it to size and cram it in a HOB filter anytime! Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 ok guys i posted the BC up for sale in Classifieds... Link to comment
Zombo Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Dammit, it's about a 19 hour drive one-way to your place Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 wow!... Road Trip Zombo so i got bored and snapped a few eye candy shotss... o and i also added the purigen... simply to a purigen Unit.. cut a slit in the top.. poured half of it out.. then superglued the slit back shot.. and heated with a lighter to seal it... i can already tell a difference in the water clarity... i put it in the HOB under the Chaeto... i know its in good flow because the little beeds are churning in the pouch.. Orange Envy Yuma i love these Shrooms.. notice the little spike things coming out of them.. pretty cool i think my Burple's a CRAPPY CRAPPY FTS for Dive.. sorry dude.. ill get a better one soon..

fiction101 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Whoa I never noticed how thick your sand bed is, how many pounds of sand did you put in? Link to comment
diggman08 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 yeah i know Fiction.. its a lil thicker than i wanted.. just too lazy to take some out.. i want to take it down right to where the shaded are starts.. but i dont want to lose all the good stuff thats in it i think it is more benificial and will keep the tank more stable being deeper though..

divecj5 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Looking good Digg. Thanks for the further back FTS Really puts it into perspective for me since your closeup shots make this tank look HUGE. Link to comment
