sangheili Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Dose some iodine for the Zoos and let me know what happens. Worked magic when every zoa in my tank was melting away. Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I know you hate that your acro is only encrusting the wall, but I really hope it covers all of it. Quote Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Dose some iodine for the Zoos and let me know what happens. Worked magic when every zoa in my tank was melting away. What brand? Quote Link to comment
sangheili Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 What brand? Don't think it matters as long as it has Iodide in it. I'm using Kent Iodide. Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ill be sure to look into and consider the Iodine... I know you hate that your acro is only encrusting the wall, but I really hope it covers all of it. It will for sure add some nice texture and color balance of pinkish red behind the green glob of frogspawn! Not sure if anyone caught this on page one, but thought this was a cool way to show off monthly full tank shots 7 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Dude, that's a great idea! I think I might have to steal that one Except for being a 27MB file, that's a bit much Should probably tone it down a bit, maybe make it a much shorter gif. Quote Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Tank looks awesome dude. Love that gif Quote Link to comment

theishkid Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Tron are you having any problems with the CAD skimmer and micro bubbles and your Tunze ATO in the back chamber? I don't know where to put the thing but the bubbles are forming around the sensor and it keeps thinking the tank is empty and filling up the thing. Quote Link to comment
Ecospire Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Tron are you having any problems with the CAD skimmer and micro bubbles and your Tunze ATO in the back chamber? I don't know where to put the thing but the bubbles are forming around the sensor and it keeps thinking the tank is empty and filling up the thing. I would remove the pump from the skimmer and re-thread it to make sure there isn't a small gap. That could definitely be causing your micro bubble issue. I threaded mine incorrectly when I first set it up and had issues with bubbles, but they disappeared when I put the pump back on. You could also put one of the sponge filters CAD sent with the tank between the skimmer and ATO float switch. Just cut it to size and you should be good to go. Quote Link to comment
theishkid Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'll definitely try those suggestions. I just figured the skimmer was bubbling because my tank wasn't cycling yet. I will definitely throw in one of the sponges even if that does fix the problem. Another questions though… how high up should you keep the water in the back chamber? Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Mine does not have any bubbles... extremely slight if any. I put a small piece of the sponge before that final baffle, to prevent loose chaeto from getting into the return chamber...obviously an older photo with the regular skimmer. not the elite... https://flic.kr/p/koifBc][/url]https://flic.kr/p/koifBc]Sump AIO[/url] by https://www.flickr.com/people/66620096@N02/]J.L Photography[/url], on Flickr 2 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 that's insane! hahahah it'd be cool if it encrusted a huge area, then started branching out in multiple places. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 You should start asking yourself how you'd feel about a whole backwall of red planet hahaha. That's crazy how much encrusting you've got going on man. Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Guys, at this point, after more than a year with this frag not doing anything other than the obvious, if it does provide the awesome backdrop of texture and color that would be a win.... #StillPatient !!!! 2 Quote Link to comment

farkwar Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I have a hypothesis that acros and montis increase growth where they have a little damage. I would debride a couple small spots on the red planet to see if it starts coralite growth out. Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Like gentle scrapes on the tip and on patches where encrusted? Quote Link to comment
