FlCandy Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You must have meant the crabby! LMAO I see no other notes of additions on here..... Link to comment
banshee Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 New pics! One of my hermits moved into a GIANT shell, Porcelain crab, has not moved from the GSP since she went in: My clown, she's had her mouth open all night. Is that an indication of a problem? Frogspawn from the side, there's a new mouth there! Frogspawn from the front: Soap dish with ric frags and macros: I need another soap dish to hold this bounty! My penny macro from Reef Cleaners: Mini minis: Goofy cleaner shrimp: Rics, some are almost ready to split again: My only surviving clove polyp from PYA: Link to comment
gena Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Awesome!!!!! I'm so relieved they made it alive What sort of shape was the box in? Those small flat rate boxes worry me. Everything looks great!!!!!! That second picture with the porcelain crab....I see a big clump of bryopsis!!!!!!!! Get it out now if you can!!!!!!! Once it takes hold.....it's a nightmare All you need is one clove...it will take off!!!!!! Link to comment
banshee Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 The green feathery stuff is bryopsis? I thought it was caulerpa! The porcelain loves to hide in it so I pulled all of it except that clump! The box was perfect and everything arrived in great shape! I can't thank you enough! Link to comment

banshee Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Okay. I'll pull it tomorrow when the lights are on so I can see that I don't miss any. Can anyone tell me what would cause my alk to be high? My params: pH: 8.2 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0-5 Phosphate: 0.25 Calcium: 480 Magnesium: 1320 dKH: 13-14 What can I do to bring it down? ETA: Never mind. Found this: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/11/chemistry Looks like the answer is time and maybe a small water change to bring it down. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Tip: The macro I gave you darlin, find places for it in your tanks. It is going to grow fast and looks fabulous outside of the dish. ... trust me Link to comment
banshee Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 I will definitely get it a home, maybe tonight. I had soccer from 6-7 last night and barely had time to get them in the soap dish! I think I gave myself a concussion too! I took a pretty good spill during the game and I've been too sick to eat since. Maybe I'll be back to my senses enough to work on the tank tonight!

If you don't feel better later today get your head checked out. Oh and your answer to the high alk is SPS! My SPS drained my tank of Alk when they were in the 46. Link to comment
banshee Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 I definitely want SPS but my fun money will be going to getting the 40 ready to go for now. Link to comment
banshee Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Got all my macros placed and received clove polyps and a GORGEOUS yuma from Ethan. Thanks so much Ethan! I hope you got your rics today! On to the good stuff! New FTS: Yuma: C. Barbata: Red Macros: Tiny cloves: Digi is happy in it's new, higher spot: Porcelain crab minus the bryopsis bush: Rics because I <3 them: Now I have to go back to real life and get kids in the bath!

gena Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Look at all that macro The puffs of the barbata will die back and new ones will replace it. It grows pretty fast in my tank. I hope it does the same for you. I know they need lots of calcium and they love light Link to comment
ScubaEthan Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hey I see my stuff! Glad it made it. Hope it acclimates well and opens up nicely for you. Those cloves get much bigger. They are majorly pissed off. From earlier photos: that is the weirdest looking frogspawn I've ever seen! It almost looks like a hybrid or something. You have loads of cool macros! Link to comment

My tank has been high in calcium lately so hopefully it will suck some up for me! Hey I see my stuff! Glad it made it. Hope it acclimates well and opens up nicely for you. Those cloves get much bigger. They are majorly pissed off. From earlier photos: that is the weirdest looking frogspawn I've ever seen! It almost looks like a hybrid or something. You have loads of cool macros! Thank you again! I FW dipped everything but I didn't see any pests come off. Did you get your rics? What makes my frogspawn different? I never noticed anything off about it but I haven't seen others in person. crab looks dead Nope! She was fanning the water while I was taking pics. She's quite happy and healthy so far! I need to glue down the clove polyp shells. The hermits knocked them down last night and now they're even more pissed. Some of the macros were moved around too. I was 15 minutes late to work because I couldn't leave my tank looking so messy! They moved the yuma too. Not sure if I should move it to my pico or let it try to attach in the BC. Link to comment
ccapasso Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Nice macros! And, that crab looks very cool too. Almost looks like he is flexing - Who's da boss!! P.S. Ric Garden = Fantastic! Link to comment
banshee Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks! Bad news. My b/w clown died this morning. I noticed last night she seemed to be gasping and her mouth was pale. My first thought was Brooklynella so I gave her a hypo dip thinking she'd get enough relief to make it through the night so I could set up a QT/treatment tank today. When I woke up she was jammed in a hole in the rockwork and when I pulled her out she just floated around and didn't try to swim. Her whole head had lost color and patches of her body. I felt awful for her so I put her out of her misery. Now I have my calendar marked for end-July before we can get any more fish. This sucks! But I guess it explains why I kept losing clowns.

Jessy-Ray Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 So sorry about the clown that totally sucks.. But what does it explain?? Link to comment
