I made a video of the equipment for our reef... I show the new skimmer in it too :)

Thinking of getting a sea hare to control my hair algae problem...
is there a specific species to get? are they reef safe? or should I go with turbo mexicain snails? other ideas? |
Both have their strengths and drawbacks. There generally is only one species of seahare imported for the hobby. I forget the exact species offhand though. They don't live a long time but they are so ugly that they are beautiful. :lol: If they eat all the hair algae in your tank you have to feed them something like spirulina pellets, but only some will realize that it's food and adapt whereas others will starve. The longest I ever had one live was somewhere between 18 and 24 months.

Looks fantastic! What great growth and colours.

Is that Monti growing to the shape of your clam? Sweet pics as always!

looking back at pics it has probably grow a near 2 inch in diameter in 1 year! |
good news:
the tail spot blenny come back to his "house"... it was living in the capricornis plates and since we moved the coral it was angry ;) but now it seems happy back home ;) |

Dear husband brought home a digital magnifier that he used at work to make welding on electronic parts.
it looks like this: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...150g/optex.jpg it magnifies 200x... but has just a 2megapixel, so it's not great resolution... it's quite difficult to focus and when there's too much light it's a blur... but I manages to get those pics of the aquarium with it: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...50g/organ1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...150g/stag1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...g/superman.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...150g/torch.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...g/frog-7-1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...50g/brain2.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...50g/brain3.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...50g/clam-4.jpg my favorite: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...150g/clam2.jpg |

He looks fantastic! That's interesting with the yellow tail. Mine doesn't have that.
|
I so want one of those fish. Maybe if I take out a few rocks and put in some traffic signs on the reef to coordinate movement of the tangs and...

an other pic I did yesterday: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...008-02BW-1.jpg |
last week-end I found one of my 2 emerald crab dead :cry:
but I was fooled! the day after saw the 2 emerald in the tank! it was not a dead crab I found but a mold of one! :laugh: |
Yeah the emerald molts are extremely convincing! My last emerald molted while haning upside down in a cave. The molt was even gripping the rock exactly as the live crab would have. No idea how they do it.
|
I love the colors! Very nice tank.
|
globaldesigns: tanks :)
lastlight: yes it's quite amazing! the molt I found was almost complet, missing only 2 back tiny legs! next time I wil keep it ;) |
tried some night pics.. under the moon lights... not an easy thing!!
here's my best shots: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...0g/FTSnuit.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...g/milinuit.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...g/diginuit.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2.../brainnuit.jpg |

We notice that the colors of corals in the tank ... it's more "vibrant" ... more colorful ...
We changed nothing ... we do not add anything (no zeo, no iodine, no trace elements) ... We use instant ocean salt .... we have a calcium reactor (knop KORALlith), we stopped the kalkawaser reactor for the past few weeks (PH and KH remains good) ... we use e-bay MH... Is this because the bio-pellets reactor? maybe .. maybe not ... an example of more detail and vibrant color ... the brain: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...aincouleur.jpg |
Do you have a before and after picture?
Great film btw :biggrin::biggrin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jeh14N-hDE |

We just order a new gadget...
a Vertex Mocean 2000 We will replace the return water loc-lines with it. geek all the way! :lol: to be continued...with pics and video ;) |
wow, that thing is beautiful! I can't stop staring at it..
|
Great thread!!!
WOW Josie...nice job all the way, great updates and with all the equipment specs too! That is very helpful for others to see. Love your devotion to keepin up the posts with ample pictures. That brain is soooo GEORGEOUS! The bio pellets probably help alot, reducing nitrates-which make colors drab and reducing phosphate-which inhibits calcification, you will probably notice a surge of SPS growth too. Great job, keep up the fantastic work. Love to hear reefers out there that are totally comitted to their tanks like you are. Looking forward to the next round of updates. Very inspiring!!!
Cheers Ronnie:biggrin: |
