Friendly Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 beeootiful! ! what is the big trumpet like coral in the center stage? also, has your methodology changed in how you care for your long n dirty tanks?

Water changes are a little more flexible now that it is older.— I tend to do every other week instead of weekly. You should try it. It’ll make you feel free. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment

I have a striped Indo plate in the 50 cube that walks back and forth across the front of the tank. The pistol shrimp gets pissed off at it sometimes and I find it upside down. 2 Quote Link to comment

That walking thing is freakn me out too. I got quite a bit of value frags on my bb and it would be a shame to beat that plate with a stick every time it moves. 🙄 Dump tank I don’t care that much about so perhaps I could try to find nice one to test the waters in there.... 1 Quote Link to comment

When I feed it blows right by them plus the scolys take time to open. So I feed a little then kill the pump and give them a squirt........ 1 Quote Link to comment

So I feed a little then kill the pump and give them a squirt........ I had them in my 75 first with major flow. Then moved them to this tank because I wanted to crank it up even higher in the big tank. You could always turn off the pumps off and let them catch something. 11 minutes ago, spectra said: Must be slow in the lounge......... I am getting notifications on the beer thread I saw that. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment
