Astinus Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Tank is looking good. I like what you did with the rock, it opened up the aquascape a bit Totally agree! This Morn' After lights came on, I used a Turkey Baster and sucked up as much Cyano as I could. I also went back to the lfs to get some premixed salt water, I also picked up some sinking pellets "New Life Spectrum, THERA+A" http://www.marinedepot.com/New_Life_Spectrum_Thera_A_Formula_Sinking_Pellet_Fish_Food_Small_Sized_Pellet_Fish_Food-New_Life_International-NL1313-FIFDDRPTSWSP-vi.html It has Garlic in it. Since moving that big rock out, the RBTA decided to move to a new neighborhood. And it appears to be on the move still. Will see where it is in the morn...Fickle Thing.

Astinus Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 No problem, glad you are enjoying the hobby. What do you plan on adding next? More Reef Cleaners from Reefcleaners.org I sent in a custom request, John was quick to reply. He recommends these.... 10 Dwarf Ceriths 4 Nassarius 4 Florida Ceriths 3 Nerites But, I asked out LFS to try and get a Pistol Shrimp/Goby pair. And, will at some time be adding some Hammers from PJanssen....but that will be down the road. 1 Quote Link to comment

I Look at and listen to suggestions. Like Low to middle. But, I am also concerned about 1 stinging another. That's just adorable! It is just fun to watch this guy! So active.

pgrVII Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 It's bubbles are also rather delicate so keep it away from rocks if it gets decent motion. 1 Quote Link to comment
Astinus Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Give it alot of space on the sand bed...if you feed it alot it will get massive. If that's the case, I may place it in the right front on the sand bed. There is nothing else there. On a side note, According to Liveaquaria's info on the Elegance, it feeds on Brine Shrimp, not just this but I have in frozen blister pack. Gut Loaded. Quote Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Do you have a lid? I want to get a jawfish but am worried about jumping. 1 Quote Link to comment
Astinus Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 It's bubbles are also rather delicate so keep it away from rocks if it gets decent motion. It does get some flow, I Just set my return pumps to alternate every 60 secs. Do you have a lid? I want to get a jawfish but am worried about jumping. Yes. I do have a Lid. I am using a Stock JBJ AIO Bio Cube. I see some folks use a "Smiz"? Whatever that is. U could get a screen or Plastic "Egg Crate". 1 Quote Link to comment

Astinus Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Woke this morn, turned lights on, fed the tank, did my usual look see. To be sure things were good. Corals haven't had their Coffee yet so, are still slowly opening up. As some of u know, I have been having some hard Green Algae like growth on glass. I Scraped off a good bit but I am debating on getting the Flipper from Marine Depot. (I would like feed back on the product). Anyways, Shar looked at Tank and asked about "What's that Green on the Rock?" It Didn't look like Algae to me. I Looked closer, WE Have CORRALINE!! Green and Purplish Red!. I was waiting for this! Pics will be posted soon. 3 Quote Link to comment
