Why do you think that is? (No judging here, by the way. I'm dealing with green outbreaks myself from my PO4 shooting up with extra feeding for the anthias) Dealing with it ???? Funny. I just see it as normal. I have been lazy and it needs a vac job. I went into this knowing I am not the spotless tank person like those stick guys. (you all now who you are). One polyp does not open and they know it. Algae and stuff does not bother me. If it was a bit smaller it might be a little cleaner. Maybe time for a few more snails to replace the pods my wrasses keep eating. I dont think the green is cyano. Green side gets blasted with flow and that green stuff likes it. Some sort of film algae. It is on the back walls and my lawnmower eats it everyday. The other side has a flow problem another mp60 would fix. In about a year I will be on the dole. Uncle Sam will be paying me, maybe I can get one. I have cut my Po4 in half and the red is not spreading any more. I think 2 vac jobs and it should be almost gone. It was almost gone until I messed with increasing my nitrates and phosphates. It has taken a about 2 months to calm back down. Or maybe its stuck in Christmas mode 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I just found and read your build thread, WOW! What an incredible set up, and you built it yourself, fantastic! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christyef Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I have conchs and sand sifting stars that keep my sand turned over and pretty clean. I have a lot of dead spots bc of those ginormous rocks I got from you, so I had to get something to help with the corners. The conchs help a lot! I didn’t see a nem. Haven’t decided on one yet?

+Dogfish Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Algae update; It has remained constant. I have not bothered it by vac or blowing it off. Today on the red side I added another MP60 for flow down that side of the tank. Lets see if that makes a difference. If this does not work I will get the conchs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dogfish Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 One of my Nassarius snails deposited a batch of eggs this morning. Anyone have any luck with a hatch or do they get eaten? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneroller Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I’d guess some will make it. Those smaller species seem to recruit better than larger. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Dogfish Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Update Besides the 2 great leathers i got from bobcat. (they are not happy with cut feet) I did get a Nem today. 6 hours out of the box in QT and it is inflated now and standing tall. The mouth is open a bit. Not sure on a scale of 1 to 10 how far open it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christyef Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I got some of the green leather from bobcat also. [emoji175]. I’m no expert, but the nem looks fine. Sometimes they will open and expel all the old to bring in the new. Will completely deflate before they puff back up. Hell, you probable know that. Lol. What kind of nem is it?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Its a heteractis magnifica (ritteri) Looking pretty good after 48 hours. Didnt like being out of the water for the min or 2 it took to do a water change (its on meds) . But inflated right back. Its on the move now. It is half on the bowl and half on the tank bottom. I think it like being sideways because to the way the water flows over it. Trying to get those leathers to attach to rocks is not easy. I have them tied down with string. Both are still not happy. I cant do too much flow because they are not attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dogfish Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Anemone is now in the tank. Short video of its first day. 1 cycle of the sea swirl blowing over the top of it. If it does not move by tomorrow I will take it off the glass bowl and leave it there on the rock. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does not move by tomorrow I will take it off the glass bowl and leave it there on the rock. I have a feeling the mag will want to move somewhere with more flow over time. It’ll also probably climb up the rock work when it starts looking for more flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll also probably climb up the rock work when it starts looking for more flow. So the mag moved last night. Went the wrong way. Was a bit higher but away from the flow. So today with the light on it went the other way. It is now on the rock about even with where it was on the glass bowl. Hoping tomorrow it climbs a bit higher. Closer to the light and more flow. In plain sight from both sides of the tank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just shrink up and the string comes loose. I dont really want to sew them on. Maybe some day i can turn that back lower mp60 back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post +Dogfish Posted December 8, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2019 Tank update Well fuge update. The fuge worked great however it contracted a un-killable type of red flat worm. Rather than look at red spots when ever I went into the tank room I decided to do something. I replaced the fuge with a Rock flower nem tank. While Im wait for 15 nems I decided to do some decorating. Dont mind the funky hanging light. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
