I've got a good gardener I could refer if you need someone to trim the hedges.

Ha!! Yeah I may need to cut some of the macros ?

Back from a short trip to Vegas for work. The 14 is doing great! Tons of diatoms I had to blow off and some of the macros came loose, but it survived the week

Say hi to Bubba! Not sure that will be his name but he looks like a Bubba. I've got a few feeder shrimp in the tank so I hope he finds them. $130 down in the livestock value ?

It appears that some hedge-trimming may have occurred.

yeah stuff was a bit out of control!  I cut back some of the gracilaria and the caulerpa that went nuts when I was gone.

$130. That's a big chunk of the livestock budget. Oy. 

.....but worth every penny!

I need a Bubba.

I'm pretty sure Bubba doesn't think I can see him. I saw him lunge after a feeder shrimp but he missed!

Did he wiggle his little thingy around?

She's gotten to be a big girl.....but I think he would totally eat my little hawk and Jack Squat. 

I've always wanted one though!

 

You need to get a video of him beebopping his fishing lure around!

.....in your spare time.

Oh jack squat and the hawk for sure! I bought a Pom Pom crab but put it in the macro tank because I realized Bubba would eat it for sure!! 

I will definitely try to get a video! I am getting more feeder shrimp hopefully in the next couple days. I only had two left ?

Do those count as livestock?  I mean they are "live" when they go in there. lol  J/K  I'm sure they count as food as long as you don't get any decorative shrimp. lol  I do want cherry shrimp for my betta tank...  They'd prolly make good snacks though lol

Ha good point! I'll have to figure out how much they are per shrimp - I ordered 250 for $90 - I'll be putting in a few af a time and the rest will go in my various other tanks until Bubba needs a snack

How often does Bubba eat / get fed?

RIP Sebastian

He's cool! Also, I got really confused when I saw LPS in there. Then I realized this wasn't a weedy tank! :lol:

I think no more than every other day. They run the risk of eating themselves to death. The good part is if I'm going away, I think putting a few shrimp in will hold him over until I'm back. So in that respect, feeding live is easier

lol, I'm serious.  I'm sure it just counts food.  I was joking.  Because Kat said that copepods count as food not livestock.  So I would put feeder shrimp in the same category.  Now, if you put cleaner shrimp worth $40 in there and Bubba-Not eats it...  You can't go saying "Oh! it was food!" :P

No wonder I'm drawn to Bubba....we suffer from the same eating habits.
