Reefcleaners.(snail)org(y)! Call me wierd but I really enjoy getting a shipment of a hundred snails and watching them all figure it out and go to work. Long time no hear. Sorry about all your stuff. I'm sure the 10 will be great as well. Link to comment
GioReef Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 It was great watching them spread out from a big pile! And thanks, I hope that in time it will be just as good as the pico. If not better! Link to comment
GioReef Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Not too many updates since my last post. Had some diatom and hair algae bloom due to the new rock and sand. The cuc cleaned it right up. Have been doing daily water changes as a precaution for any remaining die off. Also added a scarlet hermit into the mix! Link to comment
GioReef Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Update! So I added 3 small Banggai cardinals. 10 gallon is a tad small, but my goal is to get a pair to form and remove the other. Hopefully they are mixed sexes! They are small and fairly inactive, and I plan to perform 2-3 waterchanges per week to keep up with the bioload. Also, the surviving corals are almost back to full health. I will be adding more frags in the days to come. Some extra pictures, and a FTS Link to comment
GioReef Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Banggais were fighting too much so I decided to keep just a single one. They might have been all males, and the tank is small, but it was worth a shot. Also, got some more frags in and mounted. Added a hydor pico mag for additional flow. Here are some pictures... http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/IMG_4411.jpg.html'> http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/IMG_4410.jpg.html'> http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/IMG_4407.jpg.html'> http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/IMG_4398.jpg.html'> http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/IMG_4397.jpg.html'> http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/IMG_4395.jpg.html'> My apologies on the bad quality, camera isn't the greatest.

GioReef Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Looks good - Gio !!! Thanks! Now if I could only figure out how to get better pictures, it would look so much better. A regular point and shoot camera and an iphone isn't exactly the best! Also, added a peppermint shrimp to hopefully get rid of some aiptasia that's in there Link to comment
GioReef Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Peppermint shrimp did excellent work on the aiptasia, but once it ran out, he started munching on my birdsnest polyps -__- so I had to take him back. Anyways, one of my not so local lfs(haha) had a yasha goby and several candy striped pistol shrimp. So I decided to get the goby and one shrimp and try to pair them up. They are currently together in a burrow the shrimp made, but they haven't come out in the open yet. Here are two pictures of the two acclimating Link to comment
GioReef Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yasha and pistol are out! Snapped some quick pics/vid on my phone http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii64/GeoL10/3E950D2C-CD8D-4F30-B1CF-687A99E57E22-16207-00000E59761ED46E.mp4 The goby is a little skinny, but already has eaten mysis and flake. In time I'll make him a little fatty Link to comment
Roshan8768 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Awesome pics man, love the goby! Link to comment
GioReef Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 This tank thread needs an update! A lot has happened since my last post. The yasha finally began to settle in and get used to me, and then one day I found him in the aquaclear. So I put him back in the tank, and never found him again. I suspect he went carpet surfing Needless to say, I was pretty bumbed about it. The pistol shrimp was still in there, although being very shy. I had a busy holiday season, so not much progress. Had lots of growth on the coral, especially the SPS. But now I've started my restocking! First new addition is the porcelain crab (video of him doing his thing) http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/E0E0991E-8B6C-43BD-AE4E-89CAE5BC5224-10607-000009B70B7C9737_zps3564f845.mp4.html Then finally got my hands on a Randall's Goby, after many many months http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/photo.jpg.html'> And a couple of neat videos! http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/5429894A-490D-45BD-9BA5-FE14DA5D746B-10607-000009B62DED1DDA_zps01986143.mp4.html This is the pistol digging his burrow under the GSP haha http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/07A2B75B-D530-4E5D-B91A-A52ADF3C8C4D-10607-000009B60830237D_zps9a3edd47.mp4.html And finally, some general top-downs showing growth I'll update with an FTS soon!

GioReef Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Here's another shot of the pair http://s261.photobucket.com/user/GeoL10/media/IMG_4928.jpg.html'> Link to comment
GioReef Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Update: Moved one mithrax crab and the peppermint shrimp into a newly started "pest" pico Currently that tank only has sand, rock with some anthelia on it, and the inverts. Tomorrow that tank will be getting some macros and this main tank will be getting some more ricordea and some other mystery items! Will post tomorrow with pictures Link to comment
GioReef Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Some pictures of the new macro pico I set up recently Link to comment
GioReef Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Starting a zoa collection. Waiting for a few more to grow out before adding them to the rock. And a shot of one of the two harlequin serpent stars Link to comment
GioReef Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Some more shots of the coral. The tank is a mess of frags right now due to a frag swap I'll be going to on Sunday. After Sunday I should have most of the frags gone Link to comment
