Viking Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'll give you all a hint - it's red, scaly, has a bifurcated tail and it carries a hay fork. You put my Mother-In-Law in your tank? That was a baaad idea... Link to comment
Tamberav Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Did the first low salinity dip on all my corals. New holding tanks set up in place of the 20L fish QT. How bad the dinos are in the three places they grow. So my fingers kinda burn. All done. Put in some filter floss and KZ coral snow to help clean up. Can't really pick up how awesome my nems look under this 'ghetto' light. So the one on the right was kinda under a rock for the past three months.... whoops. ohhh my god... I'm so sorry!!!

jedimasterben Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 That's tame compared to how it was. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Still haven't gotten any pictures of satan, sue me. I did pay for a bunch of stuff yesterday, though - some really nice mushrooms, a frogspawn, and a nice brain coral from Reefgardener's ebay listings. I paid ~$100 for everything, including tax and shipping, and on the site they totaled up to about double that. I also bought a bunch of 8020 aluminum extrusion and connectors and such to make my light hanger. it's getting closer! Now all I'm waiting for on the light is for the Nanobox stuff to arrive now that it is finally finished, and for some Luxeon M royals to arrive, along with a couple more drivers. I'm also working on a project with Dave, it's gonna be badass. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Update on fishies. The bebbeh chromis (the thing is 1/2-3/4", itty bitty bebbeh) is alive, and today I found the blackline blenny, so he made it, too, wasn't sure, he's really good at hiding. Looks like the other two chromis didn't make it, I dunno what was going on in that QT tank. Oy. In coral QT, I came home and was like :o :o because it looked like dinos! But upon closer inspection, it was just a dusting of diatoms, some hair algae, and bubbles from the HOB filter getting caught in it. PHEW Hope those bitches stay away! I still didn't get a pic of the red devil, but I'll let you in on a little secret. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Nope, I don't buy into any hype I paid about that much for 4-5 corals from her, one of which is a brain coral (I think a wellso, can't remember right now, but you'll love it ). Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 The blackline blenny, Meiacanthus nigrolineatus Yucky algae. Goniastrea from PJ86, DAYUM it's bright! Bicolor hammer and frogspawn from Reefgardener This is some kind of coral. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Some corals are thriving in my coral holding tank while that mushroom kills the shit out of other things Dat coralline. I'm really thinking it is due to the deep red LEDs. That sympodium is awesome! Mine melted Link to comment
Acielot Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Are you sure that yellow/tan crusty stuff is coral? I have a patch of that also but it looks rather inert. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 It went from bone white to that light brown color a week or so after putting it in the tank from the holding bucket. It isn't algae growth, I tried to brush it off to see. Who knows, it could be anything Link to comment
Acielot Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Ah okay. I'm curious to see what it turns out to be. Mine hasn't changed any since I got my rocks so I figured it was a skeleton of an encrusting something-or-other. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Ben/Jedi's art. These units literally have me in awe. It will be art over his tank. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Be safe when dealing with strong acids, guys. Also, don't miscalculate how much acid to add. Bad choice. Still not done, let's add a box of baking soda. Ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Four boxes later, it still wasn't done, so I stuck the hose into it and turned it on (the well water is very, very high pH and hardness) and dumped out what I could, and let everything rinse several times before touching. Powder sand, anyone? Just need a strong rinse and they're good to G-O I found my friend's mantis that I didn't think was alive :( Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I love washing rock, so much fun. Those extrusions look real sick. Link to comment
