JerseyChick Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Didn't realize how yucky the outside glass is... good thing cleaning day is tomorrow (vacuum, water change, etc.) Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Glass lid that I designed... My *FAVORITE* snail EVERRRR!!!!! (cleans everything... makes all my other snails except the nassarius and the turbo useless- like all I need in my tank is my one turbo, two leopard nassarius and this guy and thats ALL) and snack food for the next two weeks (I daily sprinkle a tiny amount of artemia) Link to comment
Coastie Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hmmm do you have a light on that tank? Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hmmm do you have a light on that tank? LMAO ~ yes smarty pants. I have a 20 inch Sunpod 70watt metal halide and it has 3 blue led's and 3 white led's on each side of the halide. I had to expand the legs of it to fit this tank with shelf brackets. However I do want to switch over to LED's the halide noise is driving me batty. I hate the sound of cooling fans. Do you want pictures A? Link to comment
Coastie Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Nah, I remember seeing the brackets you made... I was just giving you a hard time since it looks like your latest pictures came after lights out! I can't wait to get back home and start working on the 40!! I have a new camera waiting for me so I'll try to go picture crazy! Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I bought a yellow plate tonight, a rbta and an additional pistol shrimp (red and white striped) also AC70 is on, up and running. I love it. pics to come soon Link to comment
Coastie Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 How many pistol shrimp do you have now!? Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 I believe only one green hitcher survived the cycle. I have been hearing snapping but not tons. So the one green hitcher and now my red dude. two... wish I had more tho Link to comment
Coastie Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Aw that stinks! I wish I had one! I keep toying between getting one and not getting one. I am definitely getting a jawfish though so I don't know how they will interact and I'd rather not wake up to a complete disaster each morning because I have jawfish and pistol shrimp rearranging everything! How's Meatball and co.? Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 I need to start treating Meatball for the skin disorder where they get itchy and the skin starts whitening and falling off. Formadehyde treatments to start in am, god I hope I can catch him, so far he's the only one showing any signs and did have it once before but I treated it back in 09. Please wish me luck and a second success with alleviating the disorder. (the name is totally escaping my mind at the moment) the anemone is AMAZING! attached in the front of the tank in a beautiful spot that I would have attached it if I had the choice in picking. Also fully expanded it is like 7 inches edge to edge Link to comment
Coastie Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sorry to hear about Meatball! I hope for quick and positive results! And awesome one the 'nem. I am thinking I am going to try one when I get the 40 up and going! Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 meatball is no longer scratching his body on the rocks and the damaged whiter area is definately showing improvement... YAY for formalin/formaldehyde dips Link to comment
Coastie Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Awesome! I didn't know you could dip them in formaldehyde. Hell I don't even know where to get formaldehyde. Glad the big ball of meat is doing alright though. Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Ok my friends, Snowflake the picasso-ish looking fish died a week after my beloved kitty cat Buddy passed. All tank occupants are doing well, and my plate coral is trying to migrate itself towards the back of the tank and looks like double its size and is literally ten times higher than it normally is. Normally is flesh right next to the skeleton, now its over an inch and a half expanded up and away Link to comment
Coastie Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Welcome back! Sorry about Buddy and Snowflake!! Link to comment
Coastie Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 BTW you need to post a new FTS there girlie! Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thank you, I am currently not adding anything to the tank for (lack of) money issues. Keeping up on my vaccuums water changes and feedings tho. Still can't get over how many hith crabs are in this thing AND I keep finding new teeny tiny ones Link to comment
Coastie Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 That's because they the larger ones are bumping uglies and making new ones. You better not be avoiding pictures. You know what they say.... "Pics or it didn't happen!" Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'll get pictures up, was just working on getting info from several colleges to get my nursing degree. Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I bought an illumagic LED today. holy crap, this thing is AWESOME (my three year old sunpod's ballast exploded today and caused much interior damage to the light, luckily not the tank) soooo.... since I was debating LED's I chose the illumagic (but with manual controls) its just super cool. need to take a video for you guys!! (tank is pretty barren tho) besides my fishes and halide bulb was aging so have slight diatoms on my rock Link to comment
Coastie Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Boo for diatoms.... Yay for LEDs!!!! Link to comment
