Snowgrrl83 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 So sorry about the clown they are such cute fish that really sucks, good news about the coralline though Yup! Coralline is good news its starting to grow on the rocks that had been completely stripped and cooked in my basement, they were colorless when I first put them in, so im hoping that they will be purple soon! To make myself feel better about the clownfish today, i went out and bought an acro sps. I hope i dont kill this one as they are said to be finicky. The last acro I had RTN after I changed my GFO media, did a water change and started dosing magnesium all in the same day...lol, wont do that again as my params (alk/cal/mag) are a bit more sorted out now. Here is the acro frag. Maybe ill get a clownfish next week. I feel as though i need a clownfish to fill that BTA in my tank..lol Link to comment

hypostatic Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ah, my rock was all rock-colored when I got it. I think all you need is some half decent salt and time, and all your rock will be covered Link to comment

I think all you need is some half decent salt and time, and all your rock will be coveredYay for pretty coralline! Check what I just fished out of my tank! Some mysterious crab that was just dead in the sandbed!! Eeeeek! I suspected that my tank had crabs. Does anyone know if these critters live in colonies (could there be more of them?) Stay away from me boys, Ive got a bad case of crabs. Link to comment
hypostatic Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 my guess is that it hitch hiked on your live rock, and what you actually found was a molt Link to comment
Snowgrrl83 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 my guess is that it hitch hiked on your live rock, and what you actually found was a molt I believe you are correct. I opened the carcasse and it was empty-ish. Now i have to go on a crab hunt .... Ugh. Link to comment
hypostatic Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 maybe set up a trap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTRjbE5T5fs Link to comment
Snowgrrl83 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 maybe set up a trap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTRjbE5T5fs'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTRjbE5T5fs Ooooooo.... Love the video. Ive set up a crab trap before, without success and somehow later convinced myself that it wasnt a crab but sifting stars living in my tank (since i only saw legs and no body) so i gave up on the hunt. See page 2 of the thread. trap is set up again....except my last glass jar was filled with bacon grease, so this time, i used a plastic baby bottle. Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sadly I don't have a tank thread a few years ago I had a little pico with a mushroom lol pretty pathetic. But hopefully late spring I'll have a new tank. I only know what I know from all the wonderful people of nr Link to comment

Snowgrrl83 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 I bought more coral frags for my tank.... a bunch of mushrooms (striped, bubbled) and a bonsai acro...so pretty. I think i have a frag addiction. Link to comment
Snowgrrl83 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 no pics!?!lol, sorry, made that last post in a hurry. Heres a pic of my new fav coral frag. Garf bonsai acro ( purple and green ome in the middle). Today, my tank is 2 months old Link to comment
hypostatic Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 ah, nice, keep em coming Link to comment
Snowgrrl83 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 This is how I feel about the clownfish that I lost.... I must have upset the reef Gods as I had bragged about getting that clownfish on a local reef forum. Its a funny post, enjoy. http://reefbuilders.com/2012/02/09/coral-reef-aquarium-gods-happy/ Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Love that acro, what light is used here Link to comment
Snowgrrl83 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Love that acro, what light is used here Its a Maxspect rasor nano 16k at 80%-80% I caved in and got a pucasso grade a ckown. Missed my last clown too much. At keast this one is a big bugger, therefore probably heakthier and is already hosting my nem. Here he is! Otherwise, i just signed up for aquaticlog.com to keep myself on track with all my aquarium tasks. You can see my AL profile here http://www.aquaticlog.com/aquariums/snowgrrl83/1 Link to comment
Snowgrrl83 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Dealing with RTN on a part of my new bonsai acro frag. I put glue on the rtn portions in hopes of stopping it and saving the ciral. Hope this works! Link to comment
Snowgrrl83 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Here is my glue job. Hope this works, so far so good. There is another glue blob on one of the branches that cant be seen in the pic. Link to comment
Snowgrrl83 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 So far, so good, i don't see any further tissue necrosis on the bonsai acro. I decided to do a bit of a reorganization of my candy cane coral. I had 3 frags and decided to elastic and glue them together to make a colony. I hope it didn't piss them off too much. They are hardy, so i think they will take to their new living arrangements. I put my bonsai acro at the top center of the tank so i can see it better Ive spotted tiny tuffs of hair algae so I swapped my gfo media bag today. Here is to keeping algae under control! Here are pissed off candy canes And a new FTS from today! Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Wow I hadn't noticed how nice this tank is I need to get a job and maybe ill end up coming home with a tank when the parents are distracted lol Link to comment
