NirvanaandTool Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sweet! Love the new additions. Jealous of your macro collection so far! Link to comment
ccapasso Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks all! So I came back into the office today and noticed something not quite right. The water height in the fuge section was very high. I put in new filter pad (and more of it) which may have caused the backup (that and the added macros taking up more space now and displacing the water). My concern though, is that my Auto Top off container is very low. Problem is, I don't remember if I filled it last week or the week before, lol. If I filled it last week, then there is a problem. If I filled it the week before, no problems. Biggest issue, my refractometer is at home. On a positive note, everything looks fine. Nothing is looking dead or dying and the Angler is doing very well too (happily ate this morning). I'm honestly amazed at how quick these macros are growing. The red grape has so many new "grapes" on it and the dragon's breath is getting huge! Tomorrow, I'll bring in my equipment and test all of the parameters. Here's hoping the salinity (and other levels) are all in check! Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Unknown is feather caulerpa, and the grape is actually not a caulerpa, I think it is Botryocladia sp. or something like that. If the salinity is off, the macros won't really care, and the angler won't much care as long as it wasn't sudden, so you should be golden Link to comment
BadCrab Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 That dragon's breath is stunning! Nice pictures Link to comment

ccapasso Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Question - My blue ochtodes look to be darkening quite a bit. Even have a little brown tint to them. They are about mid way up in terms of placement. Should I move them or is this normal? Also, here are a few new pics: Codium: Side View: Rock Nem/Fire & Ice Zoa: Angler Hiding in the Macros: Trying to Blend in: Any idea what the Macro in the bottom right of the last pic is?
