cindyp Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Last night I had a dream I had your tank and the sexies kept hopping out! They were walking up the walls! I would get them back in the tank and they would hop right out again! Eep!! it was a premonition! also, stress dream about MY tank. haha! Can't blame you tho. Got same itch every now and then. Part of the game I guess. isn't that the truth? Link to comment
cindyp Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 i just threw out the tail segement of the naked duster worm. it was definitely dead and decaying. very stinky! not sure how long the naked duster worm will last--but he is still wiggling. Link to comment
Maniu Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Sorry to hear that. At least the other half is alive and kicking. And it is absolutely true about compulsive, random purchases. But there are far worst addictions then hobby such as this. Link to comment
antsypants Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Cute goby Sure makes me miss mine, but it's awesome you got one! They're pretty hard to find locally, at least it was for me haha. Tank's looking good too! Gotta love them dusters Link to comment

Gotta love them dusters thank you! the duster, as far as i can tell, is flourishing! i dose with phyto daily (probably too much, but eh) and also feed oyster feast 2x a week. the gbg, alas, has been MIA for two days now. i haven't seen it since the first day it went into the tank. there's nothing in my tank that could kill it, so i'm just hoping it's shy and hiding. i guess we'll see, huh?

kimberbee Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Did you check your back compartments?? Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 That is one beautiful feather duster. I've been looking for a red/yellow or a pure yellow feather duster but to no avail. Link to comment
cindyp Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 That is one beautiful feather duster. I've been looking for a red/yellow or a pure yellow feather duster but to no avail. ASD had two on sale. same kind of duster. i saw them with my own eyes and they are beautiful. but with shipping, i think it'll cost you $80. That is one beautiful feather duster. I've been looking for a red/yellow or a pure yellow feather duster but to no avail. i see you are in southern cali. i'm in san diego. maybe there can be some sort of cheaper shipping rate? #129 on this page is one of them. they might have sold though. there were two on sale this past weekend. i bought the best one on saturday before the sale started. http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/aqua-sd/191991-update-sale-asd-sunday-2-15-15-sunday-6-30pm-pst-3.html Did you check your back compartments?? i have not! i'm not sure how it's possible he could get back there? but i suppose it is. the slits in this cadlights are so slim!

antsypants Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Oh no If it makes you feel better, when I had mine, I'd sometimes notice he was nowhere to be found. I only have two rocks so there weren't many places to hide. I lifted rocks, checked the floor, the HOB, nothing. Then a couple hours later, he'd be scooting around in plain view! I realized that he was actually hiding inside the rock and since mine aren't very porous, the possibility had never occurred to me. But anyways, give it time to come out of hiding as that would be my first guess as to his whereabouts These animals can really squeeze into tight spots. Link to comment

(there aren't any predators. just likely dirty algae water and alk swings, ha!) #129 is pretty nice. My gf says if it's from AquaSD, then we have to go on a road trip so she can see it in person yes! it is ASD! they are close to me and i'm out of loads of money because they are so close to me. ha! i'd call first before the road trip-- but i think you'll be impressed by the two dusters.

gena Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I hope he's just hiding . ASD doesn't discount shipping for instate . Probably better that way LOL. Link to comment
cindyp Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I hope he's just hiding . ASD doesn't discount shipping for instate . Probably better that way LOL. alas, still no gbg. ASD has another shipment arrived this week so i'm going to go "window shop" today when i pick up my salt water. ha! SO COOL! i just saw my really big black stomatella snail pump out a bunch of eggs or sperm, dunno which. and then a little pink one do the same! hope that population thrives. this black snail is BIG, i mean, at least the size of my ring finger fingernail. off to revise before i head over to ASD. happy weekend, friends!

Dramad1 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hey do you happen to know what brand salt asd uses. I'm just curious since you always get water there. Also have you ever tested the parameters of 5 here water? Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Drama they use Red Sea pro I used to get my water there all the time it's mixed good as far as salinity but I never checked the other parameters Link to comment
cindyp Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hey do you happen to know what brand salt asd uses. I'm just curious since you always get water there. Also have you ever tested the parameters of 5 here water? i buy their more expensive coral water. that is NOT the red sea pro. it's something else. a coral salt--the poster is right above where you buy the water. it includes all the parameters. if you called, they could tell you brand and the params. i was just looking at it today, but have the memory of a pregnant hippo. Drama they use Red Sea pro I used to get my water there all the time it's mixed good as far as salinity but I never checked the other parameters this is labeled their regular "fish water" now. i get the slightly more expensive coral water. it's a coral salt brand. some such. ha! Ohhhh...have fun. I would love to go coral shopping today . Good thing I don't have any close-by LFS with a nice stock of coral LOL. Keeps me in line . seriously. i saw a small beautiful master scoly, it's maybe 2.5 inches. on sale for $350. *weeps* haha Link to comment
Dramad1 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks cindy, I think I'm going to cruise down there tomorrow and check it out. Most of my corals are from asd and I'm curious how close my tanks parameters are to theirs. I notice some of the pieces I have, not from asd have taken longer to flurish/ thrive in my systems. I've been reading up on a aclimation techniques and was curious of the lfs in the areas parameters and differences form each other. Just curious really. Did you get to see any of Wills new pieces that he will be putting up tomorrow night? Link to comment

Spiderguardnano Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 i know one is red sea and the more expensive is the red sea pro Link to comment
cindyp Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 i know one is red sea and the more expensive is the red sea pro that might be it! and hey, is that a scoly in your avatar? love it! beautiful colors. Link to comment
Maniu Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I switched to red sea pro and keep my salinity at 1.026. That's what my favorite coral shop is using and salinity of their water. (since most of my corals come from them,it makes acclimation super easy) Keeping temperature between 79 and 81. Higher temperature promotes more rapid metabolic rate. Equals, faster growth. Stopped by for 2 part calcium/alkalinity buffer and walked out with wellso and rasta acan lol Link to comment
cindyp Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 i actually had my tank at 72 for a month or two. haha! let's not talk about it. now i keep it at 78. maniu, are you sharing fotos of your new pieces? i'm jealous!! Link to comment

I am so ignorant when it comes to "my build" thread or posting update pictures. But I will make an exception just for you. It's early morning (4:30 am) but I'll definitely take some pictures later today before water change. Both were kinda pissed. I am guessing driving for hours in freezing temperature didn't help. But BJ's and Trader Joe's were priority on the to do list. Lol By the way..... did you find your goby? I think I missed that post/update. Link to comment
