you treated the 3rd time as well right?

Chaloupa 10-13-2007 01:27 AM

Hey Colin....not yet, not due until tomorrow. Then it will be done! I know I have to treat 3 times as it is not known how long the life cycle etc is...some people treat once, but I am following Marc's (Melev on RC) recommendations and Borneman's page....and doing 3 treatments, 1 week apart then carbon after 12 hours. So far so good..I have some polyps coming out that were absent before which is a good sign!

Rather frustrating bringing the bugs home eh? Brilliant to the guy who come up with the treatment though. I did the whole tank treatment (x3) from the RDO link about a year ago and not one of the little buggers since.

yah, I am very thankful there is a treatment!!! Or else...back to softies!:lol:

Table Acro....I know it has to be flat...it's just there until I glue it down ..... the color is great..when you see it in person it is a gorgeous yellow with pink undertones! (such a girlie thing to say but....)

HOLY CRAP!!! :eek: No seriously.

I'm on my way over. No seriously. I'll be right there. Can I wash your car or something? Do your dishes? Buy you spa gift certificates? Any walls need painting?

Where did you find that thing? Oh and PULEEEZ put my name on the waitlist!!!

wow sarah, youve done a really good job. i love the aquascaping.

Looks great, but I would recommend moving the monti caps down near the bottom, they grow so fast that they will shade everything else in no time

Chaloupa 10-14-2007 05:38 AM

Colin; THANKS! I wish I had less rock now...but oh well, what can you do?!

Marie; the monti caps kind of were a mistake.....they were "set" where they are until I figured out where I wanted them..and then.....they're stuck. I am thinking of breaking the ones at the top off and putting them really low as even on the ground they are colorful and grow. The giant cap I have no where else for.....it's too big! I had a bit of a problem when I first started this tank that after having low lighting for so long...my knee jerk reaction was that it all had to go up high....not so when you have good lighting :redface: ! Now to break them off and figure out what to do! That's half the fun! Thanks for the advice!

Looks Great!

Chaloupa 10-14-2007 04:22 PM

Thanks Jason! Your corals are all doing very well!
