jeremai Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 inorite? For some reason I prefer my reef tanks dirty and disheveled but the rest of my life clean and organized. Go figure. Link to comment
jeremai Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Well, it is related to the Mystery wrasse... Some more pichers of my new corals from LiveAquaria.com. All five frags are or were green - I say were because the protopalythoas have bleached completely white. Oh yeah, the Discosoma carlgreni's are from dshnarw. Also a somewhat better photo of the wrasse. Lalani, you have the same camera - do you notice the banding across the image when shooting JPG? I've never seen it before, but then I almost always shoot RAW. Link to comment
Lalani Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Maybe the LA worker was colorblind? Purdy wrasse, but no, I've never seen that banding before. Is that the only shot it appears on? Link to comment
jeremai Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 It's on all the JPGs I took of the wrasse, almost a hundred. Same pattern and position on all frames. I'm stumped. Link to comment
jeremai Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Ok guys, I'm getting ready to do my second water change ever on this tank, four gallons. Link to comment
Lalani Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 lol Hey, did you ever figured out what caused the JPEG banding? Link to comment
jeremai Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Nope. Reformatted the CF card, still there. Tried two different cards, still there. Gotta be a sensor issue. But, since it doesn't show up on RAW files, I'm not going to stress about it too much. Link to comment
dshnarw Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Ok guys, I'm getting ready to do my second water change ever on this tank, four gallons. not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing at this point... Link to comment
jeremai Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 lol, inorite? We'll see what happens. I can't even tell where the seagrass is anymore, so when I vacuum all the cyano off the sand I doubt I'll have any seagrass left. Link to comment
jeremai Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 ok, water change is done. whew, that was stressful. also, some of the halodule definitely took root, it was strong enough to not get sucked up. woo hoo! Link to comment
jeremai Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 A mushroom died. Tank is covered top to bottom with cyano, no end in sight. This tank is getting torn down as soon as I get water in the 56g. le sigh. Link to comment
slippy steve Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 oh man, that sucks. sorry to hear. It is crazy how this hobby can take intense swings. I am soo jealous of you being able to set up a 56! any idea what killed the mushroom? Link to comment
jeremai Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 No idea. There's nothing in the tank but a wrasse and a snail, and everything was doing fine until a couple days ago. I noticed my thomases were all shriveled up and started snooping around, only to find one of the red Carlgreni shrooms all fuzzed up and stringy. I took it out and did a water change but I think it was just enough to put things over the edge; I siphoned all the cyano out yesterday, and today it is back nearly as strong. pfft. Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Jer, suck all the cyano out then do a three day black out with a trash bag over the tank. I used to get nasty cyano blooms about every 3 months in my ap24 until i started rinsing the frozen mysis and this took care of it, might have to do multiple blackouts but normaly one does the trick. Hope you can beat this stuff, i feel your pain I hated that crap and still do. Dosing vodka will help too. Link to comment
Lalani Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 What a noob. Sorry, had to. Sorry about the mushroom, and the cyano trouble.. Hopefully the larger tank will be easier to maintain. Link to comment

By the time the photoperiod is over the first day with the lights back on the cyano has popped back up, and by the end of the second day it's as if the blackout never happened. What a noob. Sorry, had to. Sorry about the mushroom, and the cyano trouble.. Hopefully the larger tank will be easier to maintain. Hopefully. I'm more worried about the thomases than anything else.
