Ferric or neodymium, genuinely curious sorry, that's really horrible. The structure of neodymium alloy is so different compared to normal iron magnets, really surprising... Hmm, well they're still multi-coated, but I suppose I'll want to be extra cautious =/ 1 Quote Link to comment

Wish I had a goby but I’ll stick with big wurm thats what I get for using live rock from my sump. 42 minutes ago, Amphrites said: Ferric or neodymium, genuinely curious sorry, that's really horrible.

Quite possible 🤔 I did kind of throw everything in at once 😂 but it seems to be liking the every other day water change. The only thing That i changed was salt mix from reef crystals over to brightwell neomarine. (Love this stuff) Quote Link to comment

This guy is extra salty Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 @asting Stop giving me ideas I have an dosing machine. But then i would have to make a better cabinet or something to hide it in..🤔 im glad UPS didn’t have a field day with the new tank. I think it’s those fragile stickers that say field goal 🥅 on them. . . . with out further delay it’s #FullTankShotFriday 5/10/19 I still have dinos 😂 Well I got a care package 📦 today and now 1 5 Quote Link to comment

Not like the catfish, but the behemoths which had massive calcium-skeletons to allow them to go back and forth into fresh and saltwater by cannibalizing their own skeleton's elements. Seems on theme, and they look awesome to boot. Like Dunkleosteus. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Nice acrylic work! I'm interested in seeing some more dinos - I'll be looking out Good to see some one else with cespitularia, where did you get yours from? I love that the stuff is a slow grower - no fear of it going full pom pom style take over. Have your polyps opened any more? Mine are almost always mostly closed like that. 1 Quote Link to comment
