Calico Jack and Blunderbuss came right out to eat so that's a good sign I got one of those too awesome little pumps for the price point Quote Link to comment

mbarton2010 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 So the mentally challenged pirate couple have moved dens three times already. Now they have dug out the right corner and are just hanging out there now 4 Quote Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 So quick update. Due to the new pump blowing sand around, I had to rescape. Actually like it a lot. All the corals are doing good. Leather is kinda slimed over but I just fed a little bit ago. Haven't seen the Pom Pom Crab since I put it in the tank 3 Quote Link to comment

SemperReef Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 How did that bryopsis go? I read half way through so not certain if you killed it all. It is a bitch to deal with. My 55 had(has a little still). As far as I know nothing save a certain nudi eats it? Never thought to use peroxide as was suggested but a lot of work to do on my 55 for it. As for aiptasia I used peppermint shrimps. They eat them all up but I think only a certain subspecies in particular. L. wurdemanni i believe?? Also a type of nudi (berghia sp?) only eats aiptasia. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think it was due to being right next to my planted tank. All aiptasia are gone due to my peppermint shrimp. Tank is cruising along great. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't see mine very often. I miss keeping smaller tanks because it's the little life that I find grand, you start losing that in larger tanks. Went months without seeing my pompom and seen her twice in the last week. Maybe my bumblebee shrimp will turn up? 3 Quote Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 So now that it is getting a little hotter around my house (90+) we are using our AC more. My tank is getting down to 74-75 F. What small heater would you guys recommend? Quote Link to comment

Lula_Mae Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I use one from Aqua Forest Aquariums, they have a 25w and 50w, they are very slender and fairly short. Definitely recommend. I have this one. 1 Quote Link to comment
