Looselyhuman Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 cleaning any drip spots on the exterior between the two tanks!!!!! That's what I've been talking about!! Link to comment
~LadyBug~ Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks It's the pretty common (but awesome IMO) deep blue & purple with green skirt. My first nem (in like 2002) was a rock flower. Have had tubes, BTAs, and a green carpet. Mini carpets were pretty much wishful thinking when I got out in 09. Those and Blue Ochtodes have been a pleasant surprise for me. Anyway, I get the slippery slope thing. I haven't seen any like that(at least for a decent price.) locally our 'common' is pink/green. I lucked out and got a orange/green for a steal. How do the tube nems compare to the rock flowers and maxi minis? That's what I've been talking about!! Maybe a sanitizing wipe? Wrapped around the straight part of a plastic hanger maybe? Sounds weird but it might work. Link to comment

Sounds weird but it might work. I think I got it from LA Reefs on ebay for like $40. It looks exactly like this one: http://lucidcorals.com/snowflake/index.php...p;products_id=7 Tubes are bizarre. They are totally NPS but will eat about anything. Pack a nasty sting (hurts) and make a huge area of your tank off-limits for everything including CUC. Their exposed tube is always dirty. But under actinics they are gorgeous. Edit: re wipe, maybe! Something like that for sure... Link to comment

Looselyhuman Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Ok, here we go - this is just a tease; maybe some more tomorrow after the dust settles. Still have more to do... Link to comment
gena Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 OMG That looks incredible!!!!!!! So this is what you've been up to? I've wondered where you've been Link to comment

Looselyhuman Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 OMG That looks incredible!!!!!!! So this is what you've been up to? I've wondered where you've been Aww, shucks. Thanks Gena. Yeah, the planning was the hardest part. Hoping for zero losses but we'll see. The 10g was sooo neglected because I didn't see any reason to mess with it. Demon algae was allowed to run amok and it's just nuts how thick it gets. I tried to make sure most of the worst rocks ended up on the SPS side, and I have an emerald crab on the way... Aaaaaaaagh!!!!!!!!!!! I want this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're killin' me here!!!!!!!! Lol. I did it just to torment you. Thanks!! Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I HAVE THAT SAME MINI MAXI!! Link to comment
Looselyhuman Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 I HAVE THAT SAME MINI MAXI!! I think it was always really hard to see it when I tried to photograph it under the LEDTRiC - blues always so washed out. It photographs much better onder the 1NW/2CW/2RB BoostLED IMO, although it doesn't quite pop as much to the naked eye... Sorry to hear about all your troubles btw, excited to see what you do next.

Skimmer will be offline soon. Switching 100% to deep sandbed, macro haven (with about 5000 lumens of illumination), and algae scrubber. Link to comment

Also I have the same jug that you are using for the ATO, but I'm using them for Alk and Ca for the dosers, should I drill a hole for the tubing? Right now I just have open lids. Link to comment
