neuwave Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Let's just say I hope this is really that blue: I finally officially beat the algae. The tiny bits left are dying and I'm ready to make this a boss reef tank. What kind of coral is this? Nice blue Also nice Pom Pom crab, I've had a female for about 4 ish years now and they are great additions. Just got her a guy friend and they mated a few days later. As always great to see stour new additions. Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks guys. It's a turbinaria or scroll coral. Never seen that color before and haven't gotten a coral for like 4 months so I couldn't resist. As for my pom pom crab, I just noticed he lost his nems! He was doing so well. I will probably get another one with nems in the hopes they share. I know they do do that sometimes. what algea? I had a MAJOR bad bad bad case of hair algae that kept coming back week after week. It just slowly killed ever coral I had except my rhizo. It's pretty embarrassing or at least it was. It's one thing to have the problem but another to successfully over come it. ESPECIALLY without having boiled my rocks, gotten new rocks, or doing anything that drastic. I also had really bad nitrates and phosphates. But I finally got it under control. Link to comment

I usually catch the crabs waving their nems in the water column snatching up cyclopeeze and all other non-photo foods I pour into the tank such as fauna Marin sea fan and ultra F formulas and Oceans Blend plankton mix. It keeps their nems healthy and huge. Link to comment

IDK what happened. And thanks yoshii me too. Link to comment

Bongo Shrimp Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 So I got a rescue red plate! A little bleached but eats like a champ. And I had to move Tiny to the Lagoon tank cause he loved my blue scroll coral a little too much. Link to comment
