A.m.P Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 No need for a hydra on a tank this small lol, just grab a prime, heck a HIPARGERO or Tuna-Blue PAR38 would do you just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment

Ratvan Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Tease Zoas are looking nice in there Quote Link to comment
DNR88 Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 What the hip is this on the glass? It's about 1-2mm 'big'. Is it good or bad? Edit: It looked like a flatworm to me and I don't read much positive reviews about them, so I removed it. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment
DNR88 Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 The 'cliffhanger' from yesterday are now opened and they are Walter Zoa's. 🙂 The Eagle Eyes are doing very well: 4 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Getting some lovely colours and beautiful shots of those Zoas. And yes that was most likely a flatworm, I tend to remove those as well although i think it is the red ones that are the worst Quote Link to comment

And I don´t even take the pictures with the macro-lens, which I sent back... And bought this tank instead..! 😄 Hopefully I can get you a picture from the green Corallimorph tomorrow. 🙂 And I removed a second smaller flatworm today, pretty easy when they appear on the glass. 1 Quote Link to comment
DNR88 Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Tonight I´m heading off to a private-seller of frags, varying from Kenia tree coral till fancy Acropora's.. That's going to be interesting.. 😊 2 Quote Link to comment

That's going to be interesting.. 😊 The guy has a very nice 132 gallon and more than five years old tank. I 'stole' some frags from him. For about 22 dollar in total I got: - Blue with green zoa's; - Three types of Discosoma's (including an orange/red one) - Two small orange Montipora frags. Pictures later. 😊 2 2 Quote Link to comment

Thanks, still small patches, but I hope that will change in the coming months. 😊 I couldn't resist buying some Bambam Zoa's yesterday as well, which brings the total to nine different Zoa's, for now.. 😅 2 Quote Link to comment

Could be a King Midas, but I'm not really sure yet. And they had a red mushroom with little white dots...! 😁 One of the green Discosoma's is getting quite big already (like 1.5 to 2 inches) and you can see the new one lurking in the shadows.. 😉 4 Quote Link to comment
SvenB Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Which filtration do you use? Greets from Belgium. 1 Quote Link to comment

Well, I have biological filtration through the live rock and get the nasty bits out with a weekly 10%-20% waterchange. That's it pretty much. 😊 2 Quote Link to comment
DNR88 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Just bought myself a new light, an Asaqua Aquanest LED, because I can't automatically control my current light and 11W is not really much, even for an 8 gallon tank. Hope to get the light on thursday. 😊 http://www.aquanestlight.com/AQUANEST-wifi-control-led-aquarium-reef-lighting/ 3 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 94 watts is quite the upgrade XD That's twice the raw power of a Prime Puck lol. 2 Quote Link to comment

A.m.P Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Be cautious if going on visually-apparent brightness, our eyes really suck at gauging how bright lights are - much less very blue-violet light we borderline can't see at all XD I actually upgraded my light too >_> I should rent a PAR meter lol... 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the warning, I will be very cautious. The light should arrive in a few hours! 😄 And since I discoverd the word 'Gongshi' and 'Scholar's Rock' on Google, I want something like that in the tank and asked for reef cement by my lfs.. 😱 2 Quote Link to comment
DNR88 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 And I made myself a super fancy 'refugium' for my Caulerpa, because it's growing like weed and already grows under my Zoa's.. 😮 And hopefully it will be a safe place for like copepods, where hungry wrasse can't reach. I think the 'refugium' will be inside my tank this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment

DNR88 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 You wouldn't believe it, but they misdrilled the holes for the lightning holder..! 😣 So now I first have to drill a new hole in the metal holder before I can use the new light, bummer! 1 Quote Link to comment
