Kat's Ol' Max

[metrokat]

It's been fragged a lot over time. it's growing over the ORA spongodes in some places so it looks like a mound.

[Acielot]

Oh that's it then. It needs some branches not a fragging

[metrokat]

it's a montipora, it does it's own thing.

[Acielot]

Oh yeah got a mandy today kat. The healthiest one in the store.

 

A small male. He's eating pods and his stomach isn't pinched so hopefully he makes it. I have some black worms ready but I don't think he'll take food in his first night.

I wish my setosa was that pink! I have the Jason fox red hot setosa, it's more of like a fire red/orange. I need some pink in my tank...I loves me some pink corals

This is the JF Setosa. It has gotten very orange now. Used to be neon pink. Now its neon pink under 453 nm

Awesome! Well maybe mine has a chance of getting pink one day! Even under blues, mine isn't pink. Under blues it's like fire red. Amazing color regardless! One of my fasted growers also. The thing has nubs popping out all over the place. I love it.

Zeph lent me a book to read: Book of Coral Propagation by Anthony Calfo. In it they have a picture of decapsulated artemia eggs in a doser.

 

I've been wanting to drip decapped eggs into my tank for the longest time. I tried a gravity drip but it would get clogged. Any ideas on how I could do this on the cheap?

There is no detail about the doser pictured above in the book but you can see an airline in it. It is stirring up the eggs like a normal hatching setup does so this could possibly prevent the gravity doser from clogging.

I can tell you that is a garden hose electronic timer they are using. That is about all the help I am.

[Veng]

Yeah, I think the key thing there is the garden hose timer which would be much bigger diameter so it wouldn't clog. Not sure how they're not emptying the whole thing into the tank at once though given it's that big...

They probably have the timer set to come on for 1 or 2 secs (maybe even 1 min depending on the minimum 'on' time allowed by the timer) every few hours and restrict the the outlet flow with a ball/gate valve. That's how I would do it anyway, its a shame we cant see any more of the piping manifold below the timer.

Does anybody know how to work iMovie?

Yes, it's easyyyyy

Argh. I was having the worst time figuring out why my photos are scrolling. And I've managed to fix it, Ken Burns effect.
