Grimes Posted January 16 Not so long ago Duncan was a single polyp. Getting some great growth now. Rastas look really hot now, started with 3 polyps So glad I tried gluing GSP to the wall. It's really taking off now the GHA has gone Everyone loves a shroom The neon goby chillin on the rock after a good feed 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
Grimes Posted January 17 Just watched a bumblebee snail munching a zoa polyp.. slow motion horror. I watched to confirm. Then moved all 3 to the rear chamber, rule of Grimes, if there's even a chance... Your out .. if you did it, you suffer in the rear chamber getting to see forever what you could have had 🖕🏼 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

seabass Posted January 18 Some people don't consider bumblebees reef safe. IDK, I always thought that was because they are carnivorous and eat other beneficial fauna. They've recently gained popularity as possible predators of vermetid snails. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

Nope it's a well fed tank (too well if you ask my Hanna tester). It seems once they have a taste for something then they go for it Quote Share this post Link to post
A.m.P Posted January 20 Get some kent's phyto and dose liberally (I do about 3ml every other in a 25) at night after you get your P04 back up, should keep things from bottoming out again (or at least its' seemingly worked for me). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Grimes Posted Saturday at 03:38 AM The little piece of Monti I broke off and glued to the rock is really taking off, can't see any of the epoxy already and it's encrusting well 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

So far they've avoided all my corals. i actually had a ton of asterina stars that were eating my zoas. its amazing how intricate (and flexible) our little food chains can be. sorry about the rasta that was eaten! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
