alfiefive Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 I didnt even think about your ac70....but yeah It did look like you have more surface flow than i do as well. Your totally right about putting your hand in there....friggin frustrates me everytime but hey, the price i pay to run to the brim yep. turn off the ac70 to reduce flow to work on something == mess. i swear at one point my desk had its own salt creep Link to comment
alfiefive Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 This is an enjoyable segment of my main piece of rock for me. Picked up the colony of very tiny zoas at my LFS for a steal and they have opened beautifully. They wrap around the liverock. There are probably 30-35 polyps all together. The actinics don't really show how green they are (or how green the GSP is, for that matter). The zoas on the top part also have neon green skirts that I'm incapable of capturing (need to take some pictures when the lights are up, but I always remember to post here at night! Link to comment

bobmonkey11 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 looks like you are battling some GHA, you should probably do a water change and maybe add some chemipure or something to the system. Link to comment
alfiefive Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 looks like you are battling some GHA, you should probably do a water change and maybe add some chemipure or something to the system. i just replaced my chemi pure and have a regular water change and conservative feeding in place for the next few weeks. gha outbreak is 100% from my pipette breaking and dropping a boatload of mysis into my tank during acan feeding. it's actually not very bad, but definitely highlighted by the use of a flash on my camera. a lot of it is actually green film, which i notice in direct relationship to feeding. the two acan frags had gha growing on the skeletons and i used brandon's 20/80 h2o2 dipping method to treat them with great success. they are more inflated now than ever!

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Holy he'll, $15 for that huge birds nest? Down here in Florida that'd go for 75+ easy..... Link to comment
alfiefive Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Holy he'll, $15 for that huge birds nest? Down here in Florida that'd go for 75+ easy..... my hermit crab assassination squad is doing it's job and tag-teaming the biggest margarita in my tank. it's definitely been killed and is presently being devoured (awesome, i love hermits so much more than snails). since this was the largest snail in my tank (.75'' maybe) and my tank is only five gallons, i'm curious if I should just remove it to prevent it. maybe if i see the CUC start to leave it alone I will take it out so that too much crap doesn't rot in my tank. i just got over a systemic GHA problem and don't want to be back where I was before I got it all cleaned up. anyone with similar sized tanks have a recommendation? thanks Link to comment
Bill Nye Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Wow that is a good price on the birdsnest. I have been up to Skiptons a couple times and whenever I go it seems like anything decent is very expensive. All of locals swear by skiptons but I was never impressed. Either way awesome tank!

Either way awesome tank! thanks! bryant (with a T) is the guy to talk to there. he's been a great support for my tank and has passed my "are you an idiot" test, which mostly consists of questions derived from horrifying LFS stories I read on this website. they do have expensive prices for their large corals/colonies (like the aussie scoly's they have right now are something like $400 a pop, although they are beautiful). i have never paid full price for anything i purchased there, love those guys.
