JoelRHale Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Kat, you can't go wrong with a blenny. They are awesome no matter what species you get. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 MIDAS BLENNY there is no better blenny This is also 100% accurate. Link to comment

colormyheart Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I was kidding about the hippo tang. Maybe Midas, or a bicolor. Fo sho goby shrimp pair. Besides, duh muther won't let me buy anything, even with my personal money, if she doesn't like it. What's the minimum lighting required for an anemone? Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I say 150+ par at its location depending on the species Link to comment
colormyheart Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hmm. Well, I doubt my lights could ever let me keep one. Guess I'll upgrade later. Thanks for the info! Link to comment

JoelRHale Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Blenny is freakin' cute... Almost as cute as your barnacle blennies ---------- Today's Tests: Ca: 460 Kh: 11 Skipping another water change. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Word - I dunno if you red my post about the conversation I had with Redsea biologist yesterday...ill keep you updated on it...but check it out, it goes against all ive read in lab reports. we shall see though Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Can you link me? I'm balls deep in law school applications so I'm only on here for like a minute or two at a time. Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 That Red Sea system is very interesting Brad and I am looking forward to seeing how it does for you. An animated gif of the progression is a good idea like you said. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Almost as cute as your barnacle blennies ---------- Today's Tests: Ca: 460 Kh: 11 Skipping another water change. Me too! Mine were a bit higher though. Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 LOVE barnacle blennies! don't like barnacles. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Joel - http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...t&p=3706554 Kat I am very interested also first 4 days are interesting. This is the process, I did a waterchange yesterday to bring my levels to what RedSea suggested. Now I wait 4 days - after the 4 days I test the difference. Then dose the ammount that was lost in that 4 days. then over the next week I take that ammount I originally dosed 1/4(to make one of the 4 days) and dose a daily ammount for a week. Test at the end of the week, and adjust if necessary. I will not be starting to use the Reef Colors until the first week is over. Reef colors is based off of the calcium uptake, for every 10ml of calcium dosed, dose 1ml of each color compound. Reef energy is Daily food for the corals - and im dosing the recommended 4ml for 25 gallons of display volume(exclude rest of system). I did not get the Nitrate/phosphate part of the plan as Im double fuged w/a denitrate & phos reactor + my skimmer, so I felt as though it was not necessary especially since I have been told to raise my nitrates to 2ppm and my phosphates to 0.1 Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Sounds like a lot of work to balance it out, hopefully it will show good results. The part that worries me is the browning of corals and the claim that they will color back up in no time. That is usually a very slow process. On another note, have you heard of or tried the zeovit method? Link to comment
Arkayology Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Nice looking blennie. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The reason for the browning out isnt because of the lack of tissue, but the EXCESSIVE Zooxanthellae from overfeeding. Basically when im done I cut off the nitrates & Phosphates & lower the other stuff and it cuts back the zoox population in a few days to show the pigment of the coral flesh and not the algae. what is that method 0.0 - nvm already started off bad lol zeovit suggest removing refugiums & reactors(except zeolite which i run) and maintaining an ULNS ...meh Link to comment

Deckoz2302 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I hope Stefan didn't find the overflow experience too thrilling Don't go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Nice looking blennie. Thanks SoCal! He's quite the attention hog: My last one would disappear when the camera came out so this is a nice change. I hope Stefan didn't find the overflow experience too thrilling I really hope it doesn't become a daily occurrence. Link to comment
