Sharbuckle Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Rut roh raggy!! All is well. girlfriend is the best. Unplugged everything, plugged in powerheads and put apex in rice. Shes a keeper. Wow, good thing she was home to tell you! Hopefully everything turns out ok!!!!!! Good thing for sure. Apex is fine, all is plugged back in as normal. Dog was able to get behind because i had the 65g pulled out and started plumbing. Overlooked the fact that I have a 7 month old husky/shepherd .... Doh 4 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Good luck! PS: pictures please Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Yes, the 29 did evolve into a beautiful tank and I understand why you feel a bit conflicted. I think that you will do fine with the transfer. I always add biospira to help with the mini cycle. I have done 3 transfers with softies and LPS and never lost coral over it. I would shake in my boots with sps however. Quote Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Good luck! I'm excited ot see what heppens with the new tank! Thanks!! So am I. Off to get two small pieces of pvc and the plumbing will be finished tonight! Good luck! PS: pictures please Thank you! There will most certainly be pictures.

I can't get biospira here in Canada but have used an aquavitro product that is similar. I believe its called seed. Maybe I'll look into that. Luckily I dont have a ton of livestock to transfer. My euphyllia haven't been looking so hot lately so i'm hoping they adjust well. I had some brown jelly on my octospawn that killed about 6 heads... 1 Quote Link to comment

I wonder if probiotics could help with brown jelly though? Quote Link to comment
