Yeah and it's ights off and nerve wracking time, where is it going to be tomorrow 🙄. Looks like it should colour up nicely as well given a bit of time and kril 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 It's moved slightly and colours are looking less pale and more vibrant already. Where has it moved to you ask? Directly under the fluval feeding port, perfect for a top down 9 Quote Link to comment

Ratvan Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 BTA under blues with orange filter Reminds me I need to hook up the supplemental blue LEDS 6 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Tank maintenance done for the fortnight, pulled the GHA from the couple of spots it forms on the big Rock and sandbed Bit murky and missed some GHA so will get that next time 6 Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) The tank is looking better and better. I can imagine its future with multiple anemones all over the rock. sadly, in this scenario, the mantis will be harder to see. Edited February 13, 2022 by M. Tournesol 1 Quote Link to comment

Interestingly since the BTA has shaded her main entrance I have seen her out and about a lot. Also discovered that I need to give her krill first otherwise she walks to the mini carpet nem. Really want that BTA to split a few times and more now, second set up is looking empty 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Ratvan Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 So the anemone looks different to me today, looks pinched in two areas on the tentacles. Splitting maybe? Close up of foot, near the indentations Looks to me like a line is forming there 6 Quote Link to comment

rimga123 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 that BTA looks super duper! such a great focal point for the tank. Are you doing any testing? I see that your xenia is not as fluffy as they normally are, I find them to be a great indication when something is wrong in he water, My Xenia went from being super fully to "dry" looking in a day after i must have overdosed iodine, and the other time it gradually became looking "dryer" and after a waterchange they perked back up within a day. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thank you, yes it really is a great focus. I test for Nitrates and Phosphates and keep them between the below ranges Nitrates 5-10 Phosphates - 0.05-0.1 Other than that I check my SG is 1.024-1.025 and temp is 77-79F 2 Quote Link to comment
rimga123 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 You are doing better than I do! I never test for those two. But I do feel like Xenia being hardy as it is, it does react to all the "bad" stuff first, before other corals figure out what is happening. I am not sure what exactly causes it to go "dry" but a waterchange usually help, so it must be lack of something in the water. super useful coral if you'd ask me. how is the new carpet nem doing? 1 Quote Link to comment

I shall find out when I am home again next week. Hopefully I can also get shot of the Xenia soon now it's done what I want and moved to the main rock 3 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Well latest storm means I am "working from home". So clearly tank time. Couple of feeding videos https://www.instagram.com/p/CaHnBq8L0RE/?utm_medium=copy_link 5 1 Quote Link to comment
