Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I'm glad those golden nuggets went to a good home! They're a gorgeous pair. Quote I know i still pretend he doesn’t live right down the street from me so I’m not over there every day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Believe me, living close to Ty isn't as great as it's cracked up to be. 😛 Bummer about the tank looking like junk. When I got home from my vacation last month I had at least $2k in dead coral. It's the risk we run if we want to have lives away from Austin Hopefully you can get them to all recover quickly. You think the tank was overfed while you were away? What were your nutrient levels at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen_McG Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Yea the clowns are awesome and annoying. I have mounds of sand everywhere from them. They are constantly kicking it up leaving cloudy water all the time 😒. As far as the nutrients I have no idea. Been overwhelmed with getting things in order at the house. I just knew they were high by looking at the tank. It’s starting to clear up and look much better. Some sps are still pale but I know that will take time to bounce back. And yes the tank was over fed. I had no choice but to leave my 11 yr old niece in charge 😂. I bought a brand new bio pellet reactor but was to lazy to set it up weeks ago. Bummer about your coral I know it was heartbreaking!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen_McG Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Tanks been running for about 2 1/2 months. Things are going pretty good. Picked up a couple more frags from Juiceman which I’ll post later. Also added a purple tang with really bad lateral line disease. Once he’s healthy and looking good will probably pass him on. Also added a nickel size hippo who’s doing extremely well. Thinking about selling my gold nugget maroon pair. They won’t leave the sand alone and it’s driving me crazy. Tired of cloudy water everyday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolt Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Looking good, and looks like no aggression from the big tang toward the little one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen_McG Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Looking good, and looks like no aggression from the big tang toward the little oneYea they get along exceptionally well. When I first got them they were in bad shape. Purple tang had really bad lateral line disease and very patchy color to him. Hippo was super skinny looking like he was on the verge of dying. So I brought them home, threw them in and they’ve been doing great. Once they are 100% healthy and the hippo gets a decent size I’ll pass them on to fellow reefers!

Jen_McG Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 Haven’t posted in awhile. Finally got the tank back on track mostly after my week vacation. Filled it with a bunch of frags. Now to sit back and hopefully watch them grow and not die [emoji23] Everything has been staying pretty stable so far 🤞🏻 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jCPM6E7EGxoSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christyef Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Get the "aquarium cam" app on your phone. You can control the colors with a slide scale to take better pics based on what your lights are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen_McG Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Quick video update! Not much going on. Did make a rookie mistake and burned some tips on my acros. Correct me if I’m wrong sps gods, but I think what happened is I had a fluctuation in my alkalinity. It went up to the 9/10 range. That combined with low nutrients and strong lighting is what caused the burn tips. Maybe I way off, probably am but that’s my theory. I try to keep my alkalinity at 7.5/8 I should have tested first before adding more kalk to my ato at 2 teaspoons per gallon.
