    Cualerpa containment

    Good idea. If you do run over with extra, lemme know, I'll try some in my sump. Glad to hear the horses are doing well.

    Snails or hermits?

    OK then, I'll give hermits a run this time. Always hated the things, but... So, do I need to pick up some extra shells with the order to accommodate growth? And any further recommendations (aside from scarlet/red/blue) that are any better/safer/more efficient at cuc things than others? Advice...

    Snails or hermits?

    So, in my continuing (and seemingly winning) HA battle I did a massive tank clean today. Of my scores of snails only a few small ceriths survive, along with a turbo thats grown the size of a golf ball. I know a combo of snails + hermits eventually = hermits. I do like snails, nice, slow...

    DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

    Followed the directions and waited till it took the syringe in, then blasted it/them. It let the syring go and I continued basting until the entire thing was covered. Now I have 3 small nubs in lieu. Although, as Dave mentioned, I'm sure theres 100 more about. Also, fyi, I have 2 files in my...

    Killin time? I'm gaming, building, and drinking.

    Just curious what everyone is doing to kill any quarantine time. Both Carla and I are laid off, so I'm keeping busy, as is she, so we don't kill each other or the kids. Tank is getting a 10g change a day, cuz, why not? Continuing Space 1999 model build, a link which I'll update tomorrow...

    Happy Birthday

    Happy B-Day! My son's was the other day, he was devastated that we were under quarantine. He got better as we made an R2-D2 cake from scratch and items on hand. Hope you made the best of yours as well, under the circumstances. :)

    DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

    I have 2 large files in my display, so not too worried. My sump, now that I'm digging around in it, is infested. Cant get a file in there, going to go the fuge with peppermint route and hope they wander the sump looking for food.

    DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

    Found a bottle of Aptasia-X and went hunting. Found 3 of the %^$%#^s that were big enough to grab the needle. Unfortunately there are about 8 small ones that are totally out of reach in the sump. May have to buy some foam and put it between the skimmer and return sections then grab half a...

    Its a commercial that was built into the sump. I send you a couple of pics if you want. Maybe even some of the scrubber.

    I almost saved a Supermodel today

    Perhaps she was stalking you, and needed a rest before climbing the stairs.

    Algae scrubber who uses one and why

    Running a waterfall on my 110. To be honest, if phosphates are under control it works a little bit for me and I'll clean it occasionally at best. If phosphates are running high sure, the scrubber works, at the same time the rocks in the tank are working it too, so I have a scrubber and rocks to...

    Got 2 1/2 minutes to kill???

    Looks like you've got a lot of nice pieces getting set in there. Just be sure to use a turkey baster to blow through the gravel at the bottm pretty much daily. Those rocks pick up a ton of detritus and can cause problems overnight. Ask me how I know :) I'll try to get a vid up tomorrow of my...

    What do you feed your LPS corals?

    I do 2 cubes for general tank (Ocean nutrition Reef1 and Reef2), every second day I mix in a tsp of Reef Roids. Target feed the bigger stuff shrimp and clam chunks. Plus I drop a bottle or two of pods in there every month as I have a Mandarin scooting about.

    COVID-19 and other diseases. How we get them, how we treat them, what they are (in layman's terms)

    Diana, Thanks much, and please thank your friends for us. Fortunately Carla is home with medication that we already picked up under insurance. No go fund me, don’t believe in it much,especially situations like this. If things get bad there’s always some kind of work to be found. Mark, Grats man...

    COVID-19 and other diseases. How we get them, how we treat them, what they are (in layman's terms)

    Carla took a bit of a turn for the worse just as I lost my job (and health insurance). Sorry I was a bit snappy. Del, Water seems to be a big player with this virus as hydration helps drive the immune response. Stay hydrated. Nutrition wise any good balance is fine, just avoid inflammatory...
