mitten_reef Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 This just happened today… guess we can call it the first step of breaking down this tank. the digi colony was so brittle, it just crumbled as I tried to saw off the branch end that it was attached to, was hoping to sell the whole colony locally. 🤷🏻♂️ 4 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Does this mean you are not swapping tanks? Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think we were sad about your digs colony crumbling. Besides, it's not spring break yet. You are a bit premature! *Digi Quote Link to comment

I am, the guy is dropping off his tank this week. 44 minutes ago, Pjanssen said: I think we were sad about your digs colony crumbling. Besides, it's not spring break yet. You are a bit premature! *Digi Ahh, was wondering if the digi caused the sad reaction part. The rock was getting overrun by bubble algae, so a drastic move was much needed before it gets all over the tank. So far it seemed mostly contained to the rock, with a few strays on some frags. Also Spring break is the last week of the month, which means there are only two weeks left. We’ll be gone for two weeks for the break, so less stuff to worry about will be best as well 1 Quote Link to comment

An 80 gallon tank means you’ve got room for a fox face! In my experience, they’re the best algae eaters you can have in your reef tank. They’ve always tackled bubble and hair algae that others wouldn’t touch. Congrats on the new tank! Also… Those chalice and Jawbreakers are sweet! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

AND it IS the size and dimension that I've wanted for a long time. 3 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 These tiny chunks of real ocean live rocks hopped in my suitcase over spring break. I let them air dry for a bit prior to putting them in the suitcase. But as you can see some colors are still there after spending time traveling around. 1 3 Quote Link to comment

Right now, just putting them in the sump, hoping that any remaining microbes will be revived. now that you mentioned the coralline, maybe I DO need to put them up in the display so the algae gets some light for photosynthesis as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
