Mom2many Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 That is a beautiful starfish. I have never seen one moving like that before out in the open. So many people on here have such a diverse amount of critters in there systems. Very cool! Nice tank too! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Nice brittle! I have two brown banded brittles and I love them. One of them - the larger one - is quite bold and actively roams the tank even when the lights are on. The second smaller one is more shy. Thanks, they're called Harlequins. That is a beautiful starfish. I have never seen one moving like that before out in the open. So many people on here have such a diverse amount of critters in there systems. Very cool! Nice tank too! Thank You. Both the red one and the harlequin were in the 60g so they're had to go into the 10g right now. The 34 is jam packed and already has a shrimp and I can't put him in with Gertie in the 20g as she'll beat it up. Not ideal but as long as I feed them they should be ok for 4 mos til I move and well, I guess another month while the 40g cycles for the flowers. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 And just because... Did a water change in my 34g. This tank is next once the water is made in a little while. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 20% water change done! I forge how easy it is to do in a 10g. I also did 10g from my 34g tank. I used to dread it anymore but I think part of is the excitement of moving down the line and wanting to make sure the corals are healthy and healthier for the move. And it'll be so wonderful to have the rock flower 40g on the same floor. And I plan to have vinyl squares as flooring, unless laminate isn't that much more but there I worry about water moisture making it come up. But..it'll be easy to move the Brute over from one tank to the next and then use the pump to send the water back into the tank. Carpet in the living room meant carrying the 5g buckets back n' forth.

ReefWeeds Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 REALLY? The shrimp will eat it's own shell? That's freakimg awesome! It won't make a significant amount of ammonia/nitrate? No, it's a shell not dead flesh. I always leave them in. The hermits love them as do the shrimp. Link to comment
Mom2many Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Your dog is a serious game player. Good grip! We have one dog here that does not like to lose or release when playing tug-a-war. Glad to hear you got your tank clean. I did mine this morning as well. I am always amazed how dirty my old tank water looks in my white buckets as I remove it. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Love it when the critters come out at night. Never gets old seeing them. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 So, local club FB admin is giving away a 6line free as he's moving so I said yes. I couldn't help it. Of course I'm moving in 4 mos but I'll figure it out. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 cant complain about free! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 cant complain about free! Yes, but I decided I'm in return giving him a frag of something since he made a really nice offer. Look how nice this was.... I'm breaking down two tanks because I am moving. We have a six line wrasse and yellow tang free to a good home. All of our coral can be purchased at heavily discounted prices or free if you give me a frag back in 6 months. Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Nice all the way around! Love that red brittle! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 I just thought too that's a really nice idea for people who are moving and want to have it back at a later time. Nice way to go about it. Like frag it on!! Link to comment
Felicia Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I am so behind right now! Going through all the threads playing catch up. I love this new little tank! Was a perfect upgrade from the Evolve. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 I am so behind right now! Going through all the threads playing catch up. I love this new little tank! Was a perfect upgrade from the Evolve. Thank you. I just don't know what it'll look like when I move it. I don't know yet what corals I'm keeping or not from the 34 but everything I do have in the 10 will stay, just overcrowded right now and I'll need to work on the landscape once i'm settled again. I'll probably move the one gorg from the 34 to this tank permanently. And I pick up the 6 line next week probably. Then when I'm moved I want to get that bimaculatus blenny. The sea stars will have to go into the 40, as will the conchs that my one friend is holding onto, and my other friend Randi that has my urchins. I miss all my other critters. Link to comment
gena Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Love it when the critters come out at night. Never gets old seeing them. What a pretty color! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 He's definitely dark red but the flash made him red/orange. He might be hiding now or it's just claimed the top of the heater. In the 60 it used to hide on top of the circulation pump. Link to comment
vlangel Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I just thought too that's a really nice idea for people who are moving and want to have it back at a later time. Nice way to go about it. Like frag it on!! Like paying it fragward! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 New gorg. Local sold it after having to move. It's a good 8" so I thought $15 was normal. I don't know what kind it is but it's different than the other one I have so I don't care. Different view. Or maybe it's the same, but one is in more light than the other. Unsure. Link to comment
Mom2many Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Very nice! I love gorgs. They ad so much movement and texture to any tank. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 that's a great price for the gorg! Link to comment
Felicia Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Love it! That's a great price Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 One moment the acid rain bta is all large and flowy, the next she's fallen as the rock she's on must have turned due to the weight or something. The small rock turned in when it fell into the other rock. I tried righting it but it's already trying to grab and I can't tell where so I'll just leave it and see how she does and hope she looks better tomorrow as right now she looks cramped within herself. Bent over in herself. Link to comment
Mom2many Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I hate it when rocks do stuff like that. They fit perfect and dont move when you wiggle them and then they fall over later. I have started to just put a small dab of super glue on everything in my tank to keep things more stable. If I need to move it later I just snap it off and peel off the super glue. I have totally stopped using putty. It turns to stone and If I want to move something later I cant with out getting out the tile cutters. I bet she will just stretch up and puff up fine there.
