WV Reefer Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Got some new dudes: The urchin isn't necessarily reef safe but he's so cool I decided to give him a shot. Also got a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp to hang in the cave. I also moved the Branching GSP from my 12 Gallon long to this tank so that it can spread out more. 4 Quote Link to comment

Good thing I run dehumidifier in the room. 21 hours ago, WV Reefer said: that Fox Coral is pretty unique, I can't say I've ever seen one before. also Nice tank. No overflow? no sump? Is that why it's long and dirty? Tunze has the Comline Nanofilter 3161, might be worthwhile to check that out, if surface film bothers you. I tried going back to the beginning....BIG MISTAKE....now I know why it's on page 15 and you're just stocking. 2 Quote Link to comment

I tried to warn you! we got carried away in the beginning of the thread. @gena had a Fox Coral that was beautiful. It was the first one I had ever seen and knew I had to have one some day. Both of my tanks run "dirty". No filters, no skimmer. I have a HOB skimmer for the 75 but haven't used it other than to see if it works. So far my system works for me. 2 Quote Link to comment
cju84 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I hope you love your urchin as much as I love mine. You'll be laughing hysterically when all your frags are moved to different parts of the tank randomly 4 Quote Link to comment

This hobby may be all about the whiz-bang gadgetry, or even various complicated routines and methods someone use for the upkeep of their own tanks. But in the end, it's really up to what works (best) for you as the hobbyist - and what you're willing to keep doing. good for you. 1 Quote Link to comment

WV Reefer Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 My husband wakes me up this morning and says: “something just happened in your tank”. Ill give you one guess..... That White Witch has been nothing but trouble Everyone seems ok so far. Im running floss and carbon in a HOB filter to catch all the “bits”. Making water for a water change now. 2 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Everything still looking ok while the new water mixes..... .....apparently my new Snake Polyps like chopped anemone because this is the first time I’ve seen them open in the daytime. 1 Quote Link to comment

WV Reefer Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 I gotta give the MP 40 props....... it blended that b*tch. There was the one large chunk of her foot left.... no small pieces at all. 1 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Proud to say this tank made it through its first disaster! the White Witch can suck it! No losses at all..... if anything the Corals seemed happy for the breakfast smoothie. 4 Quote Link to comment
