glennr1978 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 LOL that is epic! It looks ghetto now but in a month or two it will look completely normal. Hell, I may even glue another frag where the putty is (there's still another little 1.5" piece on the sand bed) just to make the big lump where the putty is less noticeable. Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Do you think changing out the old and with the new will make a little spike in your tank? Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sucks about that digi, I would have never even thought about using putty. I'm sure it'll be covered up in no time and you'll never even notice the stuff. I've been wanting to go over and snag a few frags but I've noticed montipora nudi's on my two caps and don't want to chance bringing in more frags and putting them at risk. I've dipped them in that one shot stuff that claims to kill just about every thing including those little fuggers along with adding a six line wrasse just for good measure. So what made you decide to swap the old sand bed out. Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Do you think changing out the old and with the new will make a little spike in your tank? I hope not! I siphoned out the sand so it wasn't disrupted all that much. Just as a precautionary measure I up'd the GFO and carbon. Link to comment

So what made you decide to swap the old sand bed out. If the six line doesn't work a yellow coris will for sure. I swapped out the sand because I was getting constant cyano outbreaks for the last month or so. Even though I vacuum the sand with just about every water change it had just accumulated too much crap. For some reason I kinda lost interest in the tank and it has still done pretty well over all. I've since decided to put in a little effort to see what I can do with it. Hence the change. I might even start testing parameters and tweaking my dosing for added stability. Basically, it's on! Hahaha Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 omg, no losing interest! YOU MUST GROW ME CORALS! So I can buy next time I have $$ Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I've felt that way before for sure, but never can stay dry to long for some reason. If there was 12step programs to attend I'd probably be a spokesman. What did you do with that sand. I could use it for 150g if you wanna a couple bucks for it if you still have it. Link to comment

gulfsurfer101 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 No problem, and thanks for that tip jedimb, I'll have to search how that is done because it sounds cheaper than using the one shot quick dip repeadetly. Both my caps are in qt under close observation and I have noticed no more tissue damage, actual nudi's and or eggs. I have the weekend off if your available Glenn so I can swing by and check out what you got in the bohemoth tank. I'm gonna want a frag of each of the two monti's for sure though. Link to comment
bobf216 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Just curious how much of the 2 part B ionic you are dosing? Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Just curious how much of the 2 part B ionic you are dosing? I switched over to DIY BRS 2 part because the cost of using B-Ionics was getting too high. I'll have to double check my doser, but I'm pretty sure I'm at about 140ml per day of each.

MGDMIRAGE Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Did you have any nassarius or dwarf cerith snails Glen? I've been wanting to get rid of my sand but don't want to suck up any dwarf ceriths so I put a mesh from craftstore over the siphon tube but it plugs up after a few seconds and is frustrating Link to comment

The tank is clear and all livestock looks great . I think my sand change was a success. Also, no cyano so far! Link to comment

glennr1978 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 So, are you going to sell me that maze brain yet? Nope But how 'bout a few pics of the frag tank? It's getting pretty full... Hammer time! Plates are starting to grow on me These were taken with my phone and the light on this side of the tank wasn't even on. LPS colors are insane... Link to comment
