teamschreiba Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 how's the tank doing? i haven't been here for awhile. but i am back and i need some updates! Not too bad! I don't know if you saw but I'm in the planning stages of upgrading to a custom 83g Other than that just continuing on with grow out, unfortunately this week I found some more red bugs so it'll be the 3rd round of dips I think I'm going to setup some kind of quarantine/extremely close examination process/extra dips when I transfer corals from the ADA to the new tank to try and kick these red bugs for good.

pschom Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Recently I got some very infected prices from a friends tank. I made two dips in seperate containers. One with 4+ drops of lugols and one with double dose of coral RX. Dipped all corals in both for 15 minutes each. The ones that pulled through (which was mostly the larger ones) looked great afterwards with no ill effects. Link to comment

Yeah my bayer dip has definitely worked I think I just need to double the dosage to really make sure I get all of them. Thanks for the suggestion too! havent been on the forums that much since school and rugby take up 100 percent of my time (tank is showing it but im going tpp this weekend to catch up on supplies). Pierce your tank looks fantastic! where did you get a 36x36x12? Thanks man! I actually got a 40x24x20 from Miracles. It's supposed to be arriving at the end of the month and I can't wait.

teamschreiba Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 2 gobys? Nope! It's a pair of ORA Spotcinctus Clownfish They're already eating and swimming all over the tank too. I've wanted them for awhile now and finally decided to pull the trigger. Link to comment

Deleted User 4 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Wait, what lighting is this tank under again?? I forgot haha. Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 thats sick. how big are they? Yeah I love them! They're probably around 1" long right now so pretty small. Wait, what lighting is this tank under again?? I forgot haha. I have a Giesemann Infiniti fixture with 150W MH + 5T5's. Link to comment
pschom Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 That's the craziest clownfish I've ever seen. Can't wait to see ur new tank. Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 That's the craziest clownfish I've ever seen. Can't wait to see ur new tank. Yeah I think they're so cool! Thanks man! Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 One of the new little guys They're eating really well too and looking great! I'm going to work on a getting a good shot of the two of them but it's been pretty tough. Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 how old are they bro? I'm not sure, but since they're ORA I wouldn't think they would release them at too young of an age. I got them from saltwaterfish.com and they're about an inch long. The eat freeze dried cyclopeeze like crazy though, I'm feeding them ~3-4 times a day. Link to comment
pschom Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 You feed them 3-4 times a day. Holy sh.t. Link to comment

teamschreiba Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 You feed them 3-4 times a day. Holy sh.t. Yeah but not very much, just when I walk by the tank I put some freeze dried cyclopeeze in. I figure since they're so small and active they probably need to eat a lot do want. Link to comment
SDartifex Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Sounds like I'm a little late to the party since your already moving on to another tank but I have to say bravo on what you have done here. I just recently got one of these tanks for a sps dominant tank and you have provided a lot of inspiration with this build. Some questions; Have you ever considered any types of covers for the tank to keep in jumpers? How does your filtration work and whats the WC dosing schedule like? I'll be waiting eagerly for any updates and news on the new tank (The dimms sound great BTW) Link to comment

I'll be waiting eagerly for any updates and news on the new tank (The dimms sound great BTW) Thanks SDartifex! I run a mesh screen top but take it off when I take my FTS. My filtration is a combination of filter sock, skimmer, chaeto, mangroves, live rock, and a TLF reactor with ROX carbon. I've been running my skimmer 4 hours on, 4 hours off recently though because I've been worried I'm taking too many nutrients out of the tank. I do a 2-4 gallon water change about every week and half, I'm pretty bad about following a strict schedule but never go longer than two weeks without a water change. I need to email Miracles to see how the production is coming along on the new tank though and I'll be sure to post updates. Thanks for following along and good luck with your new tank! Be sure to post up lots of pictures Link to comment
SDartifex Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Awesome, thanks for the info it will be very hand when planning my sump Link to comment

teamschreiba Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 New October FTS! I also dipped ALL my SPS today in another Bayer treatment. Didn't skip any this time with the exception of my montipora spongodes because I'm pretty confident red bugs don't live on that. Also since my tank was basically empty, I leveled out the sand dunes and took some time to rearrange some of my SPS when I put them back in. I pray this is the last time I have to treat for red bugs!
