slowngreen Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 My mandorin died too today. Guess I didnt quarantine him soon enough or the move stressed him too much. Really really sucks, down to just a chromis now. RIP Marvin Musquin. Link to comment

slowngreen Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Been a month since my mandarin died. No sign of ick at all. Think I might stop by my lfs tomorrow and see about a new fish. No more ordering fish online for me. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Month 11. Quick picture. Tanks alittle dirty. Current livestock are reef chromis, bangaii card, clown, cleaner shrimp, scallop, emerald crab and 2 blue legged crabs. http://s183.photobucket.com/user/slowngreen/media/IMAG0523.jpg.html'> Link to comment

xzeror Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 My mandorin died too today. Guess I didnt quarantine him soon enough or the move stressed him too much. Really really sucks, down to just a chromis now. RIP Marvin Musquin. My mandarins never got ich when all my fish did. When I upgraded to my 40br I let them in there first while I treated the rest of my fish for a month. Its been 6 months since my ich outbreak and my pair are going strong. Had the male for 8+ months, and the female for 6 months. How long did you have your mandarin? He could've just died from starvation, was he eating frozen or pellets? Link to comment
slowngreen Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks glenn, all the zoas I got from you have exploded! I need to do some fragging this weekend . My mandarin was eating frozen brine and frozen pods, he seemed to eat well. I had him around 7 or 8 months. Link to comment
markalot Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Month 11. Quick picture. Tanks alittle dirty. Current livestock are reef chromis, bangaii card, clown, cleaner shrimp, scallop, emerald crab and 2 blue legged crabs. Looks terrific! Link to comment
DannaM Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Wow, your tank is looking amazing !!!! I can't believe how full it is for just 11 months. Nice work Link to comment
slowngreen Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks! Everything is growing very fast it seems. Ive trimmed back and given away some stuff too like the daisy. Still thinking this spring I may start up a 75 so everything has more room to keep growing. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Made a diy scrubber today. Dont have it running yet but its sitting in place. Just "t"ing off my return line. Think the lighting will be good? Its two 2700k bulbs. http://s183.photobucket.com/user/slowngreen/media/IMAG0562.jpg.html'> http://s183.photobucket.com/user/slowngreen/media/IMAG0563.jpg.html'> http://s183.photobucket.com/user/slowngreen/media/IMAG0564.jpg.html'> Link to comment
h8z2luze Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Looks good man. How do those work? Link to comment
slowngreen Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Beats me... lol. the water runs down the mesh and grows algae taking the nitrates away from the water....I guess? Seem really effective for most but it doesnt make too much sense to me how it works lol. Link to comment
h8z2luze Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well certain algaes and plants take nitrates out of the water but is it necessary? Link to comment
slowngreen Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Can't hurt and isn't taking anything extra really. My chaeto and other stuff does good but I wanna try this Out too. Link to comment
h8z2luze Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I wanna see how it does. Seems like a cool project. Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Looks good man. How do those work? Beats me... lol. the water runs down the mesh and grows algae taking the nitrates away from the water....I guess? Seem really effective for most but it doesnt make too much sense to me how it works lol. It's basically an area that has high concentrations of light, agitation, air, and surface area. The algae grows like mad on it. You need to put some there to get it started, it won't magically start growing just because you put the fixture there. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Ok Im sure I can find some to seed it. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Well I changed my layout for ghits and shiggles today. More or less just layered front to back. Not everyone is fully opened but you get the idea. Sorry for the crappy pics. I'll take my camera out later and get some good ones. http://s183.photobucket.com/user/slowngreen/media/IMAG0575.jpg.html'> http://s183.photobucket.com/user/slowngreen/media/IMAG0576.jpg.html'> Link to comment
