Dogfish

I got the hare yesterday.  Pretty kewl. Ate its way about 1 foot up the tank side. Assume its full, and since its daylight,  it is sleepin.

Now for the fun stuff. Got 2 tangs an angel and a butterfly. Had the QT tank all set up a day in advance. Put the fish in and they all got fired up eatin live worms. Fed some frozen before lights out. 2 hours later the tank went cloudy. Waited over night for it to clear and by 4 am its was still whitesh. I think it was a  bacterial bloom from the air stone. Stone was dry for about 3 months. Nothing like a 4am get second tank ready routine. Kinda like having babies in the house.

Do you come to the south side at all?

Blue or blue/green shrooms?

I have an exhaust fan in the ceiling

Right now is a hard time to keep my fish room regulated.

One day its freezing so heater dries the room out. Next day it humid as can be outside and 80 degrees. I dont want to turn on the a/c just to keep the fish room cool and dry.

 Abalone and Sea Hare questions:

Since I turned my remote fuge into a rock nem / non photo coral tank it gets over fed a bit. That with the fact its not a waste removal tank any more I have a good crop of hair algae on my back two display tank panels.
I was thinking of getting both of these for fun and for work.
Forget dosing or cleaning off the panels. This is an opportunity for some fun.
Will they both climb the glass?
What is the life span of both?
Big ones or little ones?
Who has the best supply?
Any other keepers?

Cheers

looks great

One of those doors is crooked

I have an extra one of these. You will need to supply an air pump. Can be used for Rotifers or Pods

I would look at the youtube videos. From there you can figure out what sort of set up will work best for your time and space. The cultures of both are pretty easy to get.

They now seem to be trying to get the best spots. A little pushing and shoving going on.

2 ideas, without going into construction ideas

Get an external skimmer

Use a remote fuge (separate tank)

ouch

Thanks

1/2 of them are tucked up under rock ledges and cant be seen. Im going to have to get some more.

A few more pictures after a week Rock Nems and Suns

I went the natural way. Wave pumps off for 12 hours and placed them in holes I thought they might like. Some attached and some just crawled up under overhangs. One let go last night so i turned off the pumps again and it found a place up under where the sand and rock come together. One was very small and might have had a foot issue. It never attached except for a small part of the foot. Soon as the pumps came on it floated around and I have no clew where it is now.

You can place them in pvc pipe end caps with a bit of sand. They should attach and feel safe then you can place them in your sand bed where you want them.

The nems have arrived and are getting settled in.

I guess people do keep fish in a 20.

I have a hunter in the main tank. Mrs M Wrasse keeps the worms at bay in the display but the fuge was just too small at 20G

Thanks

The tank is 20g.

When you get tired of that regulator I will recycle it.

I use dual smith gauges. 4 years on a previous tank. 2 years on current tank. The chrome will pit, if you splash salt water all over it, all the time, and fail to wipe it off.

Haha yes, I have that feeling too that it needs to be up off the floor, but again I just can’t think of why when it’s concrete with nowhere for water to go but out the garage door. The one benefit I can think of for building a floor for the sump is it will be level while the garage floor is slightly sloped. It’s funny that there’s a pre conceived notion that a sump HAS to be elevated, but there isn’t a clear reason why.

 

Moisture and temp transfer are my th9ughts

I would put down some of that kitchen mat that you find in restaurants That way the floor will dry and mold will not grow under the sump

I have a new in box Jebao DP-4 Dosing pump if you are looking to go the economy route.
