Newstead Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 [quote name="stellablue" post="5405502" how are you newstead??? I miss Berts home he had front and center of the tank. Now he is somewhat in the back of the tank in barnacles and it's not as easy for me to get good photos of him! Glad you got the video of him - needed the smile. We lost our heart dog last week after a sudden loss of appetite leading to 5 days ICU at the specialty clinic, every test in the world, only to find out finally from endoscopy biopsies that it was a rare, aggressive cancer of the small intestine. He went from healthy and hearty to gone in 29 days. We are just crushed - he went literally everywhere, everyday with us. Spent past 2 days working on cleaning my tanks, doing 30% water changes, etc. They were ignored other than feeding and ATO topoffs while we were caring for Elvis. Its been good therapy.

Polarcollision Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 tank is looking gawgeous baby! My red Mithrax crabs are kicking ass and taking numbers on the bubble algae! Also, you give me hope. Link to comment

I am so sorry what a shock - oh I can't even imagine tank is looking gawgeous baby! Also, you give me hope. Thank you!!!! How have you been? I got these 6 red Mithrax from KP Aquatics - I think they were delivered the first week after Labor Day week. The job they have done is amazing! In roughly a month. i barely have any bubble algae left. There are a few areas they haven't gotten to but hell, I can manually remove the bubbles in those areas for sure Link to comment
Astinus Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Damn Newstead! I am really feeling ur loss I know how hard it is. Link to comment
Newstead Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thanks - didn't mean to rerout this thread, but Bert gave me my first smile in quite a while. Elvis was born into this world in my hands and left in our arms. Only 9 years old. Link to comment
Astinus Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Again..so sorry Our Bindi went from good health to having to be put down in 3 days. Kidney Failure. She was 8 years old. Back onto topic. Stella, those Zoas u posted look absolutely Gorgeous! Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thanks - didn't mean to rerout this thread, but Bert gave me my first smile in quite a while. Elvis was born into this world in my hands and left in our arms. Only 9 years old. Reroute all you want! That is too soon to lose Elvis. My heard aches for you guys. Our dogs are our family and it is so hard losing a furry family member. Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well this made me a bit sad. Sorry for your loss Newstead. Stellablue. What are you going to do with the mithrax when there is nothing for them do eat anymore? They may go for coral? Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well this made me a bit sad. Sorry for your loss Newstead. Stellablue. What are you going to do with the mithrax when there is nothing for them do eat anymore? They may go for coral? That I'm not sure about. They do eat the food I put in for the fish as well. If needed, i may end up turning them in at my LFS. But I'm thinking the bubble algae is going to be a constant fight - it will regrow since the spores are being released into the tank. Hopefully there will be enough to keep them fed. Four of the mithrax are very small. Two are massive. So I might end up just getting rid of the massive ones or putting them in the sump to chomp away at the macros I have in there. Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 You could probably trap them if need be.. Im gonna look for some at lfs. Emeralds never do the trick for me Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 You could probably trap them if need be.. Im gonna look for some at lfs. Emeralds never do the trick for me When I was looking at them at KP, the reason I went with these guys rather than the green emeralds was because it appears that these guys, while the same species/genus/whatever of crab, the red ones live in deeper waters and are found on reefs. The emeralds are found in shallower water. Not sure if I just got lucky or what, but these guys are annihilating my bubble algae. Link to comment
gena Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Today's feeding video! Good stuff . Which fish is your favorite? The Midas (Bert?) is looking really healthy!!! I think they are a more difficult fish to get to thrive in aquariums so that's great to see him looking so good . Link to comment
