Astinus Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I would be worried about the End of that Tube..I personally wouldn't cut. But Maybe cut what u can see and tell apart from the tube? Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 So remember when the Bryopsis was on the open end of my tube anemone and I just cut it off? Well the newly found strands were on the opposite end, essentially buried in the sand (brand new sand, btw! ). So do I dare cut the tail end of the anemone off, or is that more of a living part of it? Right now it is in my QT. Maybe just dip the tail end in straight peroxide for a couple of minutes? Scraped and peroxided the rock that was next to it as a precaution. You can cut it, just make sure the anemone is NOT in there. They ship them to me sometimes without a tube. It'll repair its tube in short order. Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 This hobby never ceases to amaze me. Looked in my tank this morning, and the tube anemone that I moved to the QT until I figure out what to do with the bryopsis that is attached to the end of the tube, is as big and bright as ever in the display tank. I guess it vacated the tube before I removed it. Haa! Problem solved!! Yay. 5 Quote Link to comment
Astinus Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I saw our Tube the other night, I mean the whole guy moved from under his rock. I didn't replace him then. In the Morn, I found him, Head Feathering things in the Power head flow thing. So, I grabbed him and put him back under his rock, lol! Hasn't moved yet. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 So now that I have pretty much gotten the major issues of my tank taken care of, and a plan to keep it that way, here is a question: How come I always like almost everybody elses aquaecape better than mine. Seems I'm never quite happy with what I come up with. Oh and btw, I do not recommend bahama oolite sand if you have any kind of sand sifting gobies in your tank. 3 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Happy, yes. Satisfied, no. Can't let my tank determine my state of happiness or lack there of. After all, that's what husbands spouses are for! 2 Quote Link to comment
Astinus Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I just took some pics of some of our Corals, Going to show them to our LFS to show them the growth and to also ask them questions. When I look at this forum and see all the Nice Scapes and corals, I'm like, why can't ours look like this 1 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Moved a couple of things around. When polyps of toadstool and pipe organ open back up I'll try to get a pic 2 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Bleh. Needs work.. As do my photography skills I think your tank looks good. What camera do you use? Can you turn down your blues while you take a picture? Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 I think your tank looks good. What camera do you use? Can you turn down your blues while you take a picture? Thanks. This was just a quick iPhone shot. Will play around with it more with better camera when I have more than a minute Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 For iPhone shots, try opening the camera app with the camera pointed at your tank (it will improve the white balance). Also, it will look better if you can turn the blue lights down (or off) and/or turn up the white lights. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Just pulled some bryopsis from between my Zoas. Doused with peroxide, then dipped in revive & killed a few baby bristle worms. Noticed a bubble algae on my trumpets-hopefully one of the emeralds will get to it soon. I know it's all part of the system, and I just have to keep up on it before it gets out of hand. On a good note, moved my toadstool up, and the clowns don't swim in it anymore and it is sooooo HAPPY! 1 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Picked up a new coral yesterday. Only thing is I'm not really sure what it is. IMG_3368 by Penny, on Flickr 5 Quote Link to comment
