teenyreef Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 For bryopsis, you should let the fluco run for 14 days, then you can do a water change, resume skimming, and run carbon. If you end up with some bryopsis left over, you can repeat the two week treatment again after giving the tank a few days to recover. And congrats on the new job! 1 Quote Link to comment

So tomorrow I will renew the carbon and throw the skimmer back on. Indread the micro bubbles to come back,it took almost 2 months to get them to go away. Thanks man,I worked for my family for almost 10 years and just the amount of belittlment and how unappreciative they were just got tiring and disgusting. So time for a new journey in life. 1 Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Whew,its been a long 3 weeks for the tank let me tell you. So since I started my new job I haven't really fed the tank and hadn't done a water change in that whole period and with not changing the carbon after dosing Fluco nor putting my skimmer back on the tank it held up surprisingly well. Yesterday I did a 2.5 gallon water change and fed everything and wow,everything looks amazing again. I deep cleaned like crazy,using a old gift card to scrape the algae off the side and back glass panels,even in the corners,picked all the frags clean of the lovely hair and slime type algae I was getting,changed out the old carbon and gfo,cleaned and put the skimmer back on,cleaned my ATO container. Once I get my body used to my schedule I will get back into regular routine and get everything looking good again. I am still going to sell off some frags mainly Acan's and a few Zoa's and limit my stock down some. 2 Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Anybody local want to buy any rainbow Acan frags with multiple heads ? Smallest frag is 1 head largest is about 20-25 heads,all are super healthy just got washed out from the leds,all were super rainbow under T5's. Will also trade for some nice Z's and P's or put together a pack with everything for a bomb ass price. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll take pictures. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Picked up some Zoa's today: VDM's Scarface or 24K Gold's Bam Bam's Darth Maul's Antivenoum/Rainbow Sakura lookalike And picked up Pink Zippers,Mary Janes and Spell Binders last weekend. I'll post some pics once they finally open. 2 Quote Link to comment

Eh,for thrme most part,I still have to dose Fluco every so often because it comes back a little at a time. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Been a little bit,but the tank is doing good,just chugging along. Got a bunch more new Zoa's no new Acan's or Favia's. Also went back to T5's,all my Acan's lost all their rainbow colors and have turned a drab red. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Tank got down graded to the 2g cube again,been working 60hr 6 day weeks and just havent had the time for water changes of the bigger tank,so this one will only been half gallon water changes on sunday's. Traded in a lot of my Acan's this past weekend as well got a nice chunk in store credit. Now mainly just bracing for this hurricane and hoping the power doesn't go out. 1 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Good luck, stay safe! Did the acans color back up after you went to T5's? Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Thanks,I'm definitely going to try. I'm right near Orlando and the winds are bad yet,maybe 5-10 mph but the rain has been falling steady for about 3-4 hours now. They were on their ways on being back to how they used to look. A few more weeks and they would have been colored back up. I have a few more colonies I could trade in,but I will have them cut me a head off first lol. My tank is slowly becoming a Zoa's tank again lol. So far my Zoa list consists of: Rasta's Halle Berries Rainbow Sakura's My Clementines Mary Janes Spellbiners Darth Maul's VDM's Lunar Eclipse Mohawks Raptor Rainbow TSA Sour Apples Pink Bubblegum's TSA Rainbow Zoa Mardarin's King Madia's TSA somethingorother Rainbow WWC Purple Monsters Pink Zippers Cat Eyes Fruit Loops Safe Crackers Some weird green zoa's Random sparkly zoa's I'll snap some pics when everything isn't so pissed off,I just swtiched everything late last night. 1 Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Oh,and I do have a Mini Tide on its way too !!!!!! Pretty happy about that.

Here is a FTS the day after I set it up,its still all thrown together,rock isn't what I like it to be,algae everywhere still lol. I did add 2 snails and a yellow clown goby,which is hiding or jumped,I havent seen him since the night I added him. 3 Quote Link to comment

Once my schedule slows down,I'm going to redo my rocks,let them cure for about 2-3 weeks in a seperate area and then add them to the tank. But,when I have more time again,I want to either do a planted tank or a sps pico tank again in a aquamaxx 5.2 gallon. Seeming all I will need is the tank. I have a rw4,ac50,my diy light once my tide comes in from thatguytom and I have plenty of rock still. 2 Quote Link to comment

TatorTaco Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I won't lie...I didn't read the whole 65 pages. I did want to ask where you managed to pick up so many zoas from? I'm planning a heavy zoa tank and don't know where to go if I'm looking for 20+ frags at a time? Any suggestions for a one-stop shop if my LFS is lacking? Quote Link to comment
