You have a larger substrate for the anemones, correct? So that the babies have something to latch onto? When are you going to start shipping rastas and RFAs? Yeah the small one looks happy, hopefully it'll do well. Link to comment
plainrt Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Yes larger substrate. I believe helps most when they get covered up with sand to work their way back up to top. Imagine how hard would be with sugar size sand...... I have yellow wrasse that dives in area where most of my babies are and think that's how they end up all over tank. Lol you know I don't ship otherwise you would have already have had some frags from me........ Wish some of you people were closer Link to comment

Nola Bear Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 HOLY CRAP THEYRE AMAZING Superdope After following this thread for the last few pages, I'm sold. Gonna grab some rfa's after christmas. LFS in Tampa has some nice reds. They have a super sexy bta I've had my eye on too. Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 They are mother ######s. Once the run out of stuff to munch on they go after coral flesh. yea- mine ate my baby plate corals. fortunately they grew back. and the crab went to the LFS. i wouldn't be too sad if yours died, haha. lucinda is by far more important! as i mentioned over text- those nems are awesome! I wish i could get mine to move, but his foot is stuck deep down inside a hole in the rock and he won't budge- ice, powerhead, everything. lol if he ever does come off, i'll send him to you.

vlangel Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Bought a 10g container for my ATO since I'm going away all next week, hopefully it lasts! Enjoy being away and hopefully will be fine with the tank. Wow, you must have a lot of evaporation to go thru nearly 10 gallons! Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Enjoy being away and hopefully will be fine with the tank. Wow, you must have a lot of evaporation to go thru nearly 10 gallons! Yep I don't have a chiller so rely on fans to keep my tank at 78- they run 24/7 so a bit over a gallon a day! Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 So I'm going to be gone from Sunday to Friday, a bit worried about the tank of course!Here's my plan. My moms friend will be coming for every day to feed the dogs and pets.Checklist before I go: New Floss Skimming dry ATO 10g 7 Cups of food made Feeding: (In tiny cups in freezer) Cube Pinch of pellets Regular portion RR Daily Procedure: Vortech feed mode. Take off net top. Put in food. Put back top. Good? Link to comment

I'll check though Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 How are you going to leave out a mysis cube for her? Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 How are you going to leave out a mysis cube for her? Little cups with a mysis cube, reef roids, and pellets in the freezer Link to comment
plainrt Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Don't you thaw the food first. Do you have to feed frozen when away? I keep it simple with pellets and flakes. Or you have a picky fish? Link to comment

Or you have a picky fish? I haven't really been away for a while. Might keep it simple with pellets and reef roids, but my mandarin just eats frozen. I could drop in a frozen cube and it thaws by itself, no? Link to comment
