Snow_Phoenix Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Finally seeing some signs of coral wars here and there. Will work on trimming the edges of certain pieces, including the lepto & monti: 3 Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Other areas are covered in GHA, so I have been manually removing them. My Zoa Garden looks terribly understocked though. 😞 2 Quote Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 I came back from a late night walk and was about to pop into the shower when I spotted this (!!!) crawling up the glass of the nano. It's a bit ripped because I left my baster outside and had to try and 'scoop' it up with a chopstick. But still...how on earth did a polyclad flatworm wind up in my tank? The last time I added any new frags/corals to this tank was more than 9+ months ago. I can't believe it's been lurking in my nano, staying concealed in the rocks all this while. It also probably explains why snails keep dying within a week whenever I add them to this tank. I used to think my hermit attacked them, but now I wonder... Also, this is the 3rd polyclad flatworm I've pulled out of this nano since I first set it up. The other 2 were yanked out within the first few months of starting this tank. I attributed it to my lackadaisical attitude in dipping new frags, but now I dip everything 2x over (if ever I purchase anything). Quite worried for my shrimp, crab and fish. There's only 3 of them in total, but after fishing the flatworm out, I did a wellness check and they seem to okay - mostly settling in for the night. Hopefully this will be the last polyclad. Still feeling very icky from dragging it out - it left quite a fair bit of slime around the chopstick. I flushed it in the toilet and flushed again with detergent. Don't need the added nightmare of a floppy worm crawling out of the toilet and trying to smother me in my sleep or anything. I'm stressed as it is. 'Nite, NR. 🌺 3 Quote Link to comment
Sprinter70 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Awesome tank! What’s your flow like, can we get a video with flow going? Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Managed to siphon out a bunch of red flatworms from the tank using a pipette. Lil' buggers were camping out on my shrooms. They're harmless, but unsightly. Tank's in a sorry state though. Time to WC again, but I'm not feeling well (yep, again) and there's too many things going on on my end. My critters are doing okay for the most part. 👍 Just need to find the time/opportunity to pick up some CUC. The GHA is getting out of control. 😞 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Hi Snow Sorry to read you're not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon. 6 hours ago, Snow_Phoenix said: Just need to find the time/opportunity to pick up some CUC. This comment seems to be in many updates lately. Maybe it's a tank Spring cleaning thing. I could use some critters for bubble algae, green film algae on rocks and glass, and vertmetid or (vertmetidae) snails. Nothing is out of control yet but some action is required before it is. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah - I guess all of us will need to replenish our CUCs at some point. 😅 I'm still having difficulty accessing my LFS, which is why I haven't picked up any snails yet. Plus, I still have some personal family issues to handle, so that does take priority over everything else. The only benefit to having unsightly GHA is that my pod population is up - so that's free food for Bullet the firefish if he gets the munchies in the morning. 😅👍 1 Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 I'm growing a thicket of GHA on the glass! ^The amount of pods breeding in there is wild though! 😅 1 1 Quote Link to comment
