Gerber77 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 I wish a fellow reefer had so nice frags lol you just have to keep your eye out for some good corals. Or you can just go snorkeling and Im sure youll find some sweet stuff.. Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yea beef that cuc up a little bit and they should take care of the diatoms. What was the cause of them? when the cyano died, it caused a nitrate spike. what do you reccomend for a CUC? Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 haha yeah! Dude your frag tank is sick man those zoas colonies are sweet. when the cyano died, it caused a nitrate spike. what do you reccomend for a CUC? I would do a mixture of snail and hermits. I really like nassaerius and nerites. You may want to add some astreas and some blue leg hermits. They should get the job done. Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 I thought it would be cool to have my 4,000th post in my thread. Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 my diatoms are going away, but i will still upgrade my cuc. thx for the help! Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 For sure glad to see them going away. Mine are pretty much gone as well and Ill be adding a mushroom this weekend to see if the tank can handle coral yet. Im sure it will its been well over a month and its been very fun Pics up this weekend as well Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 sweet! i cant wait to see it! Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Thanks man Im stoked Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 did you get corals today? or is that for tomorrow? Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Didnt pick up anything today, nothing good at the LFS and I dont really want to take anything from the other tanks. IDK why but with my logic Im using the same water and maintenance routine with all my tanks. They all use pretty much the same equipment so I wanted to get a frag from a completely different system to see how it would do in the tank. I am probably over analyzing but its what is in my head. Ill go to the other LFS tomorrow. Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 ok. i will check for updates tomorrow! Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yea hopefully Ill find a frag or two. Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Actually got back from the LFS about 45 minutes ago, I did a water change and changed the filter floss. And cleaned up a little bit. Well the 4 LFS didnt have any frags that I liked so instead I picked up 2 scarlet hermits. Anyway Ill keep my eyes open for a frag within the next few days. Good news diatoms are mainly gone. Heres the pics: New hermits Nassarius snails out while I was cleaning Todays FTS- Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 wow ur nass snails are small compared to mine. scarlet hermits are my favorite hermits. i currently have 2 Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yep they are little babies, I have some huge ones in the 20. These hermits are pretty big and Im not a huge fan but I thought they would be good for stirring up the sand. They may be moving to my gf's 10 gal if I dont like them. Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 i had a huge one in my eclipse, but he is gone. he fought my halloween crab and lost his life and shell. Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Sorry to hear that, hermits have always been aggressive in my tank and thats why I dont keep them and I wouldnt mix species either. Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 i didnt know that back then cuz i was a noob at everything lol Link to comment
