animalmaster6 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Looking Good Any word on the cuttles yet? Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 cuttles are MIA presumed dead. I want to test my water for copper build up too. And only then i'll look into getting some more eggs if I can. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Are cuttle eggs hard to get? Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Its all about availability. I'm hoping they're in season If I ask the owner at my lfs I'm confident he'd be able to get me some. If not theres always the biggest LFS in NW NJ that I can go to. I've heard they have had them and octopi in the past. There are also online places to get em but I cant afford overnight shipping atm. I probably ask my old boss too, she still has connects to wholesalers. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Great to hear If you find the current ones are you still going to get more? Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 probably not. I only wanted to keep 2. in that tank. that was kinda pushing it too. which is why the spare tanks were envisioned. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yeah 4 inches can be a big much for a 20L. I like them a lot though. Maybe I can keep some in my 40Br soon to be frag tank for the 125! omgomgomg Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yeah that would be a great size for a pair. Just gotta have a good skimmer in case of inking. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Oh I'm not having a skimmer What about a mp20? That's really the only thing that's filtering. That and live rock. Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 well a skimmer is in case of inking. It doesn't really need to be running unless there is ink in the water. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hmm. If that happens does it bother corals? Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 It very well may if it isn't skimmed out. It could kill the cuttles too by coating their gills. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 That's too bad So if I put another mp20 in ther could that save them? How often do they ink? Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 I doubt it. you could also just do a huge WC. I don't think the ink often at all, only if they are spooked i think. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I don't want to take any chances and risk their lives from my problem. I'll add something else interesting Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 yeah you might want to do dedicated tank for these guys. why don't you want to skim tho? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Well I don't want to have to do more plumbing. Maybe in the future though. I'm pretty busy with the 125 as it is Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Yeah or a HOB skimmer Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm gonna be getting something super-duper cool for this tank tomorrow. hope the dumbasses at the LFS don't sell it. the owner said he'd put him on hold for me Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 What could it beee? Link to comment
Markushka Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 dunno, think you can guess? I'm not gonna spoil the surprise tho. Link to comment
