CA2OR Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Tank has been up for 3 days now....all is looking well. Seems some corals are coloring up a bit more than before. seems I have zoa's growing out of my sand all over the place. I am not sure how exactly that happened from the move in tanks(scratch) Duncan's are starting to show improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 lol....no....it's a "ball coral" it is sitting on a bunch of "carpet algae" that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitricker Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 lol ... the rim held at least. I can just immagine explaining the exploding tank 2 days after moving into a new complex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 she keeps telling me to get a chocolate chip....but they aren't reef safe right? No they are not reef safe, I believe the rule is if they have raised "bumps" they are bad, or not reef safe. I'll cross my fingers for you that you don't experience any "algae" outbreak with the brand new sand. It has always happened to me, even when using very old seeded LR and water from the existing tank. I actually picked up some Turbos Thursday when Patrick was having a "buy one get one sale" Its amazing how much "green" these guys mow down. I had a Korallia that was pretty covered in algae, I put the Turbo snail on that PH and woke the next day to find it 99% algae free- This is in my 20 gallon tank that I threw together with all the "extra" pieces I had laying around. Anyhow nice set up again, and glad to see you got yourself a nice new camera to boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 No they are not reef safe' date=' I believe the rule is if they have raised "bumps" they are bad, or not reef safe.[/quote'] Got it I'll cross my fingers for you that you don't experience any "algae" outbreak (scratch)....no new sand....I used all my old stuff, sand, Live rock, nothing new except water. I just tried to clean my sand a bit in the transfer.... Any how nice set up again' date=' and glad to see you got yourself a nice new camera to boot![/quote'] Thank you....I actually brought the camera to work with me along with some extra batteries to I can play and learn.

jgf86123 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 eric, how do you like that tiger tail? ive had quite a few people recommend them to me, just never really gotten around to it. i figure since im going to the new, bigger tank, ill be ok to get one if they're good to have. tank looks great, i plan on doing a full swap like that, but im planning on using new sand too, i want all white this time around.

CA2OR Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Sounds nice.....I love the tiger tail. Zero complaints....does a great job on the sand, not as fast as a diamond goby...that is for sure....but just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 I wonder how long it will take for my Duncan's to recover from the 3 weeks of hell they just went through. Any body have any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrd Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I wonder how long it will take for my Duncan's to recover from the 3 weeks of hell they just went through. Any body have any idea? I'm sure they are toast, never to recover, dying, dying, dead even though day by day they will look like they are getting better. This is very deceptive, best bet is to give them to me and save yourself the anguish, it is very sad but I'm here for you brother. You cant ever say I did not offer to help. For every day of hell add 1, give it a month or so, target feed them well every few days with mysis, or brine, something easily digestible, as to silversides and the like. Those guys are resilient-they'll pull through fine, and remember the offer is ALWAYS out there for you-(plotting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 All the pictures look good. I wish that fungia would just split already(plotting). The cucumber will split eventually when it is big enough. Mine finally did but it must have got to almost 20" stretched at one point before it did. If it wasn't for me going to a bigger tank soon I would be selling one but maybe the next one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
