If anyone has any zoa frags they'd like to sell or trade let me know. I've got some good sized frags of red acro, can clip some superman monti, or offer a zoa trade of a purple body orange skirt frag(s).
Edit: And will be bringing at least 1/2 dozen bags of cheato loaded with pods for the taking.
Recently there was an internet post that a pair of axotols had a few dozen young. These young were offered for adoption but the post was removed from the forums, and rightly so, as owning the animal is illegal in the state the ad was posted in, as well as in many other states.
But here’s the...
Mmmm, tank was totally black for 84 hours.
Still got the algae in the same 2 places. It's less but still present.
Chemipure, manual clean, and 20% wc tomorrow.
Good thoughts, thanks.
The lighting is matched best visually, nmo par on hand but tried to account for depth (submerged mirrors and other half baked science ideas attempted).
When I dropped the frags in the 40g I went with an acclimatization placement which did no good.
Per carbon, the bag in...
Running late this morning, wanted to do a blackout, got the tape, got the cardboard...
then I saw a fitted sheet.
I'm sure I'm not the first to do this, but I never thought of it before.
A king size fitted sheet should be able to cover almost any tank.
This is it on my 40, install time 10 seconds.
Looks like I'm returning from Red Bank around 4, was hoping to stop in.
Is this still happening?
EDIT:
Nevermind. Seems I’m a week off. Thought this was today.
So, looks like I can make it next week.
Yep, but I'm succeeding.
Going to try dumping some of the muck from another tank's protein skimmer into the 40b.
Here's the 10g tank, its mesmerizing to watch.
Vic,
You're welcome to a few xenia frags if you dare put them in a tank, and I have some generic stick acros I can break for you.
Also have a superman monti that seems to have grown off the edge of its rock, can crack you a piece of that if you like.
I'm in Brick, drop me a PM if interested.
Many of you have seen my 10g Xenia tank.
I decided to up the game to a 40b.
I match the lighting exactly to the Xenia tank.
I match salinity exactly.
I match temperature to the .1 of a degree.
I match the flow pattern as best I can with a rotating head and a pulsing head.
I had planted a...
I've kept a pair of clowns (and only a pair of clowns) in a 25 for years with success - a gladiator clown with a phantom clown
They're damselfish so they're quite hardy and they look great.
Dropped Xenia in tank the other day.
Not pulsing.
Moved a bit higher on rock.
Think they're pissed off at me...
Anyone seen this before?
Stress reaction?
Spawning?
Bad habit?
Xenia bleeeding out?
