Cameron6796 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Can you imagine the stench of the skimmate from that skimmer? Uggggg wouldn't want to slip while changing that... It's probably auto empty. 1 Quote Link to comment

ZephNYC Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I want one! They only had Deresa's ???? highly suspect !!! Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 There was a huge one that I thought might have been a gigas but it was another derasa. Joe confirmed. Still have to download pictures from the other camera. Might have more clam pictures there. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 i'm so jealous you got to see everything behind the exhibit! i can only imagine the experience! Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 i'm so jealous you got to see everything behind the exhibit! i can only imagine the experience! The aquarium actually does offer a behind the scenes tour once daily. I was just lucky that Joe himself took the 3 of us around exclusively, without a group following behind. And I am positive the tours don't show half the things Joe showed us such as the reefgen raceways, amongst other things. We got up close and personal with Phil, a very vocal and cute Penguin. He pretty much talks on command. My nephew is 9 right now, at 12 years they allow the shark cage dive. Joe basically sold a 12th birthday visit to my nephew.

Boggers Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I got my Wife to go with my on a Shark dive on our Honeymoon in Cancun. It was a clear Acrylic cage. I loved it put would have loved to stay down a little longer. They gave each of us a pole with a hunk of fish on the end. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Krylon fusion clear. Reef safe? Has anybody used it? 1 Quote Link to comment
Boggers Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I have used it on 2 tanks now, YES. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 inside? has it come off? Quote Link to comment
Boggers Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I used it on the back glass outside and no peeling or anything....My friend used it on PVC pipes that went inside without issue. I would worry if you had an animal that scraped at the site like a Blenny, tang, urchin. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 How to get some yellow/green back in the Miyagi tort? When it was a little frag it had some yellow, now it has a pale coloration where the yellow used to be. Let me post some pictures Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 miyagi Tort pics. It is growing well but I really want to see some yellow. My california tort is showing more of the coloration I want from the Miyagi. Also, is this tabling growth pattern normal for a tort?

Chew_Magna Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Krylon fusion clear. Reef safe? Has anybody used it? Fusion isn't really a paint, it bonds on a molecular level to plastics. Us pc modders have used it for years because of that. It should never come off unless it's sanded down. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 But is it reef safe as in to put whatever is coated submerged in the water? Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Miyagi tort answers anybody?? Also, birdsnest skeletons anybody? Also recipe for Rouladen anybody? Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 But is it reef safe as in to put whatever is coated submerged in the water? Yes , it 100% safe under water . I used it on my 40b back in the day to hide some pipes. They were sprayed black. 1 Quote Link to comment

Aug 2013 October 2013 November 2013 Feb 2014 April 2014 Could it be tabling due to the water current? It almost looks like the water might swirl there a bit and that may be enough to table and branch out. Quote Link to comment

Boggers Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I did ask about the Rouladen and torte but came up empty. We are a mix of Europe so maybe just not on her list. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Aww, thank you for asking though. Quote Link to comment
