Mr. Microscope Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hey badfish, It's been a while. Any updates? How's the macro problem? Did you get new rocks? Those spartians are amazing BTW. Hoping all is well! Quote Link to comment
badfish816 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) hey how's it goin. well, i have one chiton in there that is lovin the turf algea. i just wish i had about five of them. i have kept alot of the other algea at bay. i am probly gonna bake the rest of my rock i have in a ten gallon frag tank. then scape it the way i like, change the sand to something finer. i will start over when i get my other frag tank built. at least that's the plan for now. i was also gonna build an led setup for it but i think i will pick up the led/T5 hybrid that nanocustom and clive are working on. it's sick. everything is also riding on whether or not i get into sniper school. we will see.

molsen187 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 this tank looks sweet. with the acans i found in my old 55g that it would take about a month or two for them to get used to the conditions and then they grew like crazy. i fed mine every 3 days though as well. once they start growing try and stop them lol Quote Link to comment

badfish816 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) ok pics.... here is the progresssion of the acans: how they looked when i got them: and this is what they look like now: there is also two more babies on the other side for a total of ten heads.

badfish816 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 here is the candy cane: when i got it, it had 3 heads with one splitting: here is a couple months later. 4 heads all splitting: 1 months ago: and today: 8 heads total. 4 of which are splitting again. this is what happens when you take " elfabs guide to neglecting picos." lol. i dont touch this pico for awhile and everything booms. including all the macro algea. ugg! my hammer has about 4 new bby heads growing along the flesh but they are too tiny to get a pic of. so that makes 9 heads total on the hammer. it had one when i got it about 6 months ago. crazy growth. i will get some pics of the zoas up later. they are finally taking off too.

plantarms Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 nice growth pictures, they look great! especially the acans, i'd like to get some of those in my tank soon. what kind of feeding and or dosing schedule are you on? Quote Link to comment
badfish816 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 i started to dose part a and b but quit. and i use to feed mysis once a week but quit that too. i need start again. but lately it has been the elfab method of neglecting it. lol. i started to dose part a and b but quit. and i use to feed mysis once a week but quit that too. i need start again. but lately it has been the elfab method of neglecting it. lol.

plantarms Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 haha yeah i'm with you on that, i used to dose brightwell liquid reef and seachem reef plus, but only do so occasionally now. probably not the best way to dose. also i used to feed cyclopeeze about one or twice a week and i haven't done that for a while.
