Nano sapiens Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Still not much change, hair algae is still a pain in my but. Clown is sitting alone for now till I find her a mate. Cat chewed up my apex display wire, again. I tried fixing it but no luck. Tank looks good, but looks like you are having a few 'challenges'. I have an area or two that has a bit of hair algae. If I keep nutrients at a lower level my single hermit keeps it mowed, but if I overdue the feeding then he can't mow fast enough and I have to manually remove some of it. The cat...that's a whole different matter. Anything you might be able to spray on the cord to keep it away? Link to comment

The cat...that's a whole different matter. Anything you might be able to spray on the cord to keep it away? Thanks NS I was able to conquer the hair algae problem. It had to completely take down the scape and scrub everything with a toothbrush. Took me about 3 cycles with a heavy water change regime. I also removed the bulk of my sand, there is still some left but I'm removing it slowly. I lost some palys and a few shrooms during the process but mostly because the algae had covered them up pretty bad. I'm going to take the tank in a different direction now, mostly nems with the exception of a few blastos and acans that I really like and don't want to sell. I'll keep them in their own little corner till I get another tank to move them to. As for the cat, I think what happened was that the alarm for the controller went off and drove him crazy, I turned off the alarm and he hasn't paid any attention to it since replacing it. I'm having trouble taking pics with my new phone but I'll try and get a FTS soon. Link to comment
jball1125 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Here is a crappy FTS. Things are still a bit messy but the plan is all RFA on left and BTA on right. As you can see the new BTA decided to hide in the back and is now stretching but hey, what can you do. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Be careful here. If your bta decides it's been cramping it's style it might go for a walkabout and your nems are toast. Link to comment

jball1125 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Awesome shot! I hope everyone plays nicely .thanks Gena! I wonder how severe the damage would be and if it's likely for her to be confrontational. Link to comment
jball1125 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I really suck at this picture thing...... Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 No, you don't suck. It turned out nice. If you have the option, turn down the blue and retry. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Course I don't know what kind of light you have but w/ my Par38 bulb I put masking tape over a couple of the blue leds then I was able to take better pics. Link to comment

Yea I can take off some Blue it's just a pain to go through the controller and change the settings. My Galaxy never gave me problems, I mean Its not that blue in person but the iPhone seems to get really thrown off by them. Link to comment

I can't take some pics w/ my NIkon camera from 2007 but I can w/ the phone because of the zoom. Link to comment
jball1125 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Alright first FTS in a while Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Nice, that one in the middle looks good size and I like the blue in it. How big? 3"? Link to comment
jball1125 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Nice, that one in the middle looks good size and I like the blue in it. How big? 3"? Yea that one is right around 3"..... She has some interesting blue and some orange lines going through her but you cant catch it in my pics. Dialing down the blues helped by the way. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Sometimes I take almost under all white cuz my camera still makes it come out more blue. I also like that little one in the book and the bright white striping on the one upfront. Link to comment

Ill try and mover her soon but I want to let the tank settle for a while before I start stressing it out again. Link to comment
jball1125 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 The BTA looks happy, shes been eating and puffing up nicely. To my surprise though, thr foot is unattached. Shes been like this for at least 24 hour without migrating. Is this normal? Link to comment
jball1125 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Well the BTA reattached her foot to the same spot she was before. Guess she changed her mind about moving. Does anyone know if acans will grow there skeleton horizontally along a tank floor? Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Ask Mr. Microscope, he's had a bounty of them and he's also gone bare bottom so for sure he'll know. Link to comment

Does anyone know if acans will grow there skeleton horizontally along a tank floor? They grow significantly faster across a flat surface since they do not need to add nearly as much mass to the skeleton. Link to comment
