but don't blow the flesh off your LPS

It's not that powerful, I could have gone with the Nero 5 but I wanted to keep using my sicce so water "turns around" in the tank.

My flame angel is trying to communicate.

[seabass]

He wants a SUV?

[Kindanewtothis]

The good thing is that my tank's walls are green, not brown. Also the sand is red and also not brown.

So he wants a Millenium Falcon and a wookie friend...?

So like a Star Wars themed decor

 

or R2D2 tank?

 

It's actually pretty surprising just how much pops up when you search Star Wars Aquarium.

You're right.  Yoda's planet on the original star wars would be a great terrarium by with little imagination.

[Kindanewtothis]

Placed the pump low and in direction of the canister filter intake. The sand at the back is clearing quickly of the cyano.

Second delievery of the day!

[seabass]

So your fish went from writing on the tank walls to writing on plastic bags?  Looks like his penmanship is improving.

[PeterU]

I'm jealous. Candy Corals only threw in 1 freebie snail on my order. You must have spent allot more than me. 😀

Now, I need to acclimate them, but one of each bag is for the 10g. 

 

Can I mix them all in a bucket (one per tank) with the water from the bags and then slowly add water the the tanks?

I'd put everything in a single bucket and drip acclimate them together (as long as both tanks parameters match) then scoop and drop into the respective tanks. Failing that just temp match and drop making sure not to get the shipping water in the tanks

[Kindanewtothis]

Both tanks parameters are the same for temp and salt but not the rest.

[Kindanewtothis]

Conch is already at it in the bucket

[DevilDuck]

FYI it took two full days for my conch to start behaving normally and feeding after I dropped him in the tank the first time.

It just sat in place staring at my bubble tip anemone with those little eyes. Two days later he was moving around and working on everything his snout can reach.

Ok good thanks, all the others are moving but not the conch.

Delievery #3 (for the pods culture)

[Kindanewtothis]

I think I F***ed my pods culture. Only added half a tea spoon of spirulina powder.

That's a lot!  Well, I guess you know that now.

[Kindanewtothis]

How about I filter it all this the brine shrimp net?

[seabass]

If there are big chunks, then yeah, you could strain them out.

 

If you had your plankton sieve, you could strain out the pods and put them in some new culture media.

 

I don't know if this will be a problem or not (might cause an ammonia spike).

Don't have the plankton sieve yet, came from the US.

 

The spirulina came in a 400g pack... I guess I'll have some for ever.

 

For the moment I still see pods in the green water.
