subsea Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 This side of tank has much uplifting water caused by air bubble curtain. I thought this Flame Scallop was gone as I had not seen him for two months in 135G lagoon. I have had him 6 months, he came in with Sea Apple. In the old days when my filtration was under gravel false bottom filters with air uplift tubes, I kept Flame Scallops alive for several years. It is all about taking care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves. I put much money and time in building and protecting the bottom of the food chain. When used with DSB and mud refugium methods, the bottom of the food chain is the perfect waste water treatment plant. It processes undesirable water parameters and produces complex food webs for complex aquatic life. Win/Win to me.

subsea Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thank you for the compliment. After almost 40 years of reefkeeping, I have settled onto "less technology and more biology". It makes me the lazy reefer. Excuse me, I meant to say "laisser faire" reefer. La bonne temps roulee, Patrick PS. Remember the after hours bonfire, after the Oct frag swap. Don't bring the kids.

chippwalters Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Looks like you've cleaned out your DSB tank. Looks nice! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsea Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 At three months in the cycle, 500 small Cerith Snails were added. They have been in there two months and have slowly cleaned up nuisance micro algae. Since you have been here, I removed half of the rockscape in my 75G DT and have been transferring snails 50, at a time, from 135G lagoon.
