Sk8n Reefer Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Reef roids is good stuff for sure. Maybe try spot feeding the zoos. The gorgonian definately grabs its share of foods Link to comment
jeremycee Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Looks great! thanks! Link to comment
jeremycee Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 snapped a quick fts today after a water change with my iPhone. The coloration of corals stays surprisingly more true than with my dlsr. Ill have to find a better way to get a good white balance. Not much new added just hanging out in autopilot mode for the past month. Just water changes and feeding! IMG_2942 by jcrump_88, on Flickr IMG_2944 by jcrump_88, on Flickr Link to comment
jeremycee Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Been Awhile since I've updated here. Its been a busy month. Heres a couple pictures to start! ftsjune2015 by Jcrump88, on Flickr topshotjun2015 by Jcrump88, on Flickr I haven't added too much. My friends aquaman montipora is starting to come back. You can see the orange polyps getting alot more full and puffy, just waiting for the skeleton to hopefully blue back up over the course of these next few months. I managed to keep a few zoa colonies alive after the power outage disaster over the winter. just keeping up with water changes, trimming up my chaeto when needed, and changing out the chemipure every two months. i have been showing a decrease in alk in between water changes which has me contemplating some type of dosing in the future or maybe even an upgrade to a drilled and sumped pico after i move.

teenyreef Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Wow, it's looking fantastic! Everything is growing and coloring up very well. You'll find as your sps pieces get bigger that your alk and calcium will start to drop a lot faster. Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Nice - looking full and happy- Lots of encrusting sps?-what magnet is that you have? Link to comment
jeremycee Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's the two little fishs nanomag. I think in tank sells them. Works really well for its size ! Wow, it's looking fantastic! Everything is growing and coloring up very well. You'll find as your sps pieces get bigger that your alk and calcium will start to drop a lot faster. Thanks teeny! I gotta start taking more pictures of the tank. It's cool looking back and seeing how much the corals change/grow! Link to comment

jeremycee Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Well guys no updates on the pico this time around but this has been a little side project for me that i am very excited about. meet my new 24 x 24 x 12 shallow reef project IMG_5516-2 by jeremy crump, on Flickr i still need to finish working on the stand frame and some equipment purchases are needed. I would like to add panels and a door on the side of the stand for sump access. this is still months away from being anything at the moment and i will continue to keep my pico thread updated. But i wanted to give everyone a sneak peek of whats to come in the future! Link to comment

jeremycee Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Finally got around to snapping a few pictures FTSaugust2015 by jeremy crump, on Flickr The birds nest in the bottom left corner of the tank has recently been fragged so excuse its discoloration. I have been frustrated lately with finding room for corals to live and have had to constantly re-glue corals to different rocks resulting in a distressed tank. It seems that once i get my hands in the tank things start to go wrong, (i.e. corals getting bumped off of their glued surface, sand storms, etc.) This makes me even more eager to get the ball rolling on the 30g Here are some more photos: sunkisspalysaugust2015 by jeremy crump, on Flickr Showing base growth on the digitata and my newest coral purchase $10 acro frag reddigitataaugust2015 by jeremy crump, on Flickr Heres my little fruity loops colony that has grown about 5 polyps since added for a total of 14 now! fruityloopsaugust2015 by jeremy crump, on Flickr montipora sunset and capricornus crusting away sunsetmontiaugust2015 by jeremy crump, on Flickr overall, the past few months i have been keeping up with water changes and replacing media when needed. I have since removed my chaeto to minimize amphipod reproduction since they were getting huge and munching of things i didn't need them to munch on. Im mostly concerned with my sps, After I had recently swapped out my light i had noticed alot of the bright colors starting to fade to dull and neutral colors. Im now in the process of a major coral acclimation light ramping schedule to hopefully improve the situation. I believe this could also just be a combination of low water flow decreasing nutrient export and possibly swings in alk. SPS in a pico was a radical idea but although i may not be seeing the color i want I've managed to see growth. also, hard to see, but check out that star polyp backdrop! Cheers guys! Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Tanks looking good - and filling up for sure. Ya the sps will react to the light change for sure- once you get it stable for a few months they will bounce back! Link to comment
