my tank leaked a month ago, and while the corals were being held by my dad in a hastily set up holding tank for a month, my suharsonoi died. looking to replace it cuz it was an awesome coral.
anybody able to cut a frag?
also may be interested in other cool SPS.
Id like to see if I can get my tank repaired. Probably needs to be resealed with new silicone. Anyone know a shop that does that? Id like to get someone who knows what they are doing and have experience with tank production or repair, cuz I found out first hand how sucky leaks are.
i have an SPS tank, lots of stuff. and now its leaking. tanking it down.
will try and set something back up within a few months.
if anyone wants something and can stop by today - take it. if you are willing to give me back a chunk later- thanks a ton. if not, hey itll die if someone doesnt...
my red planet was like that when i bought it (deep solid color), and its been very light in my tank - but still growing great. its just under very high light with very low nitrate and phosphate - it looked half bleached (wasnt since it was still growing ok) before i started dosing acropower to...
looking for small frags of Z&Ps to add to my collection on the back wall. one of the ones i really like are devils armor. but might be interested in anything i dont have and isnt very expensive. so far i have rastas, king midas, green palys, space invaders, cap americas, and utter chaos
i...
a few days ago, a bunch of my corals started browning out, i tested everything and did a water change - but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. but yesterday i found the problem. one of my pumps was not plugged in (the plug was in the socket but not all the way and did not have contact), and...
sorry about this man. hope everything works out well and you can get a tank again soon.
hopefully you can find people nearby who have room to hold onto any colonies you cant easily replace later on - id offer but im sure there are people closer to you with bigger tanks who can hold onto more...
endospores are structures formed by gram positive bacteria (not all gram positive bacteria do, though).
what you saw on the birdsnest was regeneration. corals can regenerate from only small clusters of living cells that survive whatever killed the colony. plate corals are particularly well...
so my nitrates stayed very low, and so i increased my acropower dosing to get more N in the tank. with phytoplankton cut, and acropower increased, by phosphates went down, and nitrates twitched up (barely changed). so i dont think acropower is responsible for my minor spike in phosphates.
but...
got a green tipped yellow birdsnest im not too crazy about. would like to trade it for frags of SPS i dont have. particularly would love to get a blue milli and/or oregon tort.
i also have a few frags of browned-out hollywood stunner.
im in central jersey (new brunswick) and often go to...
i guess its possible - but i know at least at intracellular conditions, the addition of inorganic phosphate onto an organic molecule has a highly unfavorable free energy.
also i would be surprised if my algae and bacteria were incapable of utilizing phosphorylated amino acids.
like i said, i...
ive been dosing 3mL daily - no change in the corals (yet); but my phosphates did go from 0ppm to 0.4ppm (but i also started dosing 1mL phytoplankton daily as well - so i dont know what caused the phosphates).
in theory, i dont see why there would be any phosphorus in acropower - its an amino...
gotcha. yeah i was a bit surprised as my preliminary googling didnt find mentions of it being super aggressive - but my firefish is very gentle, so i dont want her getting bullied.
honestly i dont like the bells as much as the carpenters. which i like better than the mckoskers too, i like how...
gotcha. the guide on nano reef said they are fine for the tank size, but i needed to know about compatibility. why are so many pretty fish so aggressive? lol
ill look into carpenter wrasses a bit - i like their look.
