Man, is that acro ever coming along nice. :wink: . Sorry the last one is a bit out of focus. You know my "cracker jack" camera. However it shows how hairy that new sps is you got. Wish the top of my head looked like that. :lol:
Reset the kalk drip today. Alk. was down a bit, so added a couple caps of buffer. Everything looks great though. I think the algae is almost all gone now. :surprise:. Still a bit here & there, but nothing like before. Clams are looking great. I need to get a top down of the new crocea thats up with the acro. My goodness, is it beautiful looking down. The derasa,s all have great extension now, with no signs of the stringy mantle stressor. Attachment 2594 Attachment 2595 |
Quick! Ship me some clams while Mike isn't looking! :D
Tank looks great! |
ha hah hah nice one Catherine but NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol:
|
Tank is looking incredible!!
Doug when Mike is back would you mind coming over to do whatever magic you did on his tank, on mine?? :) |
Tony I have been battling this Red stuff in my tank since 2006 of Dec, I finally think that i have rid of from my tank I don't knowwhat caused it Tony. many times Me and Doug would be chatting over many cups of coffee, chatting about what the heck it is and how it came in to my tank. I'm glad that is going away IMO I think it is phoshates that have been leaching out over time the rock that i have is going on 6 years now that is why when i get backim going to be starting with 100 lbs of jakata rock now that my tank has alot of coraline may be that I can get some nice colors going in the tank. its taken me along time to get where the tank is now TOny lots of patience and lots of phosban.. I hope its gone for good. I think that my tank can only get better now , until I get home and rip it apart to install my new one. |

Make sure when you come that you bring all those clams that Mike has, he doesn't need so many!
|

|
DOug hows the Hydro doing and the other SPS in the tank along with the clams.
|

Thanks Tony. I will try take some more for you Mike. And post them easy to lookie at. :smile: Things looked ok. As mentioned the new leather had fallen over but I put it back and moved it over. Kalk reactor is maintaining a good drip rate and ca remains stable with no more kalk additions yet. Needed another does of alk. buffer though, which I attribute to weaker kalk in the mixer but easier to maintain it this way without spiking the calcium. Likely will do a small water change this week. No new algae growth but wondering when the Po2 remover will be spent. Must be time soon to do a change of media. I think I will add a small bag of carbon also, since your ozone is off. Fishies look good. eating like pigs as usual. Wrasses are growing well and eating mysis like crazy. Clowns moved into the larger finger leather. :lol: |
DOug you can add new phosban media now since i changed it before i left 28 days left before i fly out
|
hey doug just seeing hows the tank is coming along. any new pic's that you can share with little old me on here.. hows the wrasses doing, and the baby clam, hows the levels doing? did ya get me the impellar for the tunze yet? hows the SPS's doing? HOw is your clams that you took back doing, did you grab the hydro's too. well im off will check back later on ok thanks again DOug yhour a life saver and a truely amazing friend.
mike |
Wrasses are fine but showing some aggression towards each other now that they are getting larger. Not sure how serious it is. They both ate mysis yesterday, when feeding though.
Baby derasa is growing ok. Other two are ok but not sure which two I took. :lol:. They never seemed to extend as much as mine, so thought perhaps they were still irritated and the other pair. However last week I seen why, as Mr. foxface had his snout right in the two of them. Seen that a couple of times now. Considering, they are still doing ok though. Seems no one bothers the crocea,s & maxima, as they are all GREAT. I gave you my blue crocea back and just kept the two derasa,s. :D Yes, I have the hydro,s but you still have some frags. Your two acros are doing great. The large one is growing like craze. Mushrooms & zoos all growing well. The leather coral is trying to grow but those dufus clowns wont leave it alone. :lol: Cleaned and refilled the phosphate media yesterday. Added several more spoons of kalk to the reactor also. My ca test measures ca @ 390ppm, yours @ 420ppm. Both alk. kits measured 7.5 dkh. Added a bit more buffer and new kalk should touch up both levels. Also changed another 5g water. Have yet to order the impellars. Did talk with Jeff about them though. Ordering two of them, one each. Going back in a day or so to check on the changes I made and will take a couple pics for you. |
well I just found out that the smaller wrasse jump tonight , so ****** i knew it was going to happened. great to hear that the tank is doing good dopug thanks alot for all your help glad i have you as a close friend and a dear friend. talk to you when i get home .

Not to much flow for the leather. Perhaps needs more. Its the clowns laying in it, thats bothering it. I ordered you one of each, alk. & ca. never knew you had so many alk. kits. I will keep the Elos alk. then. I will remove some of the xenia next time over, so it cant spread elsewhere. Take care. Sorry I missed your call. :sad: |

Hi Ben. Mike is fine. He has no internet capability out in the boonies where he is. He said to tell everyone, he has about another week or so left and then should be heading out. Or at least to where he can communicate. Guess he would just like to read and post on Canreef. :D
