metrokat Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Siphoning does not work? What about getting a wrasse? Mandarin? Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 It does when they're on the glass, but they are partial to certain corals. The Scoly, Duncan's, Maxi and pink-n-gold Palys. Siphoning causes bruising on the lps tissue. Do you think my tank can support a Mandarin? K has always wanted one. Link to comment
markalot Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Secret to flatworm exit, in my experience, is to do the first big treatment with big water change and carbon afterwards, then treat every 4 or 5 days, just carbon and lots of flow. After a week they were gone in my 40, 20 has them now and one treatment done. I lost my first flame hawkfish in the 40 ... O2 sensitive and I left skimmer off too long, apparently. Your tank looks fantastic, as usual. Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Can you move the fish over to a temporary tank while you do another treatment? Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Thanks Mark. I just treated it the one time and didn't check out my cannister filter that I had set up with carbon. Had an issue with the impeller (user error). So was a little late in running the carbon. Plus I had a shit ton of them in the tank. I could probably catch the clown but not the goby. The clown has literally jumped out of the tank in an effort to bite me. Before I took out the anemene, I had my own beating stick that I used to disturb the anemene because it was expanding so big during the day that it was killing my zoas and candy cane. The clown didn't like me messing with it. Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That clown, she chwazy. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yes. She don't clown around. I did pick her up off the floor and put her back in the tank. I don't hold a grudge. Starting to rain here. That's nice. I just finished watering the front and back. Link to comment

chrssprngs Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I haven't seen him lately. I will look for him now. Is batgirl missing him? I can't find him. Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 oops, well he is rather ninja looking, maybe he will show up, yes batgirl has been missing him, she's doing well. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Batman has been sighted. Back of the tank on the glass behind the rocks. Hard to see him sometimes because he is so black that he absorbs the light. Puts me in mind of a black hole. 1 Link to comment

markalot Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Bout time. Screw clean glass pictures. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I have so many battles going on in this tank. I should rename it "20L War Zone" Bout time. Screw clean glass pictures. I'm going to clean the glass and take a decent FTS shot. Might even get the tripod out to steady my phone. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Lol, I knew you still have a tank.....just tried to give you a hard time. Having said that.......Geez....that is one packed tank!!! But looks good to me. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Lots of dead spaces. Hence, the Vortech. I have a pretty big scoly and bubble coral that you can't even see without doing some crazy head rotation ish. Link to comment
