How's the Dinos doing?

Thanks. Took some time to figure out how to make the panels. But they are fantastic.

The dinos... Just started attack two. With a higher dosage. From 17/ml every two days to 20ml.

The dinos are turning color to a brighter green. I hope this is a good sign.

Stand progress...

The last panel is built. Decorative trim is next.

Well happy to say, after a long year, the Dino's are almost beaten.

Today.

Mostly manual removal... however. I used biological warfare against the dinos.

I had a red slime out break. The first time I removed it, i noticed the dinos reduced. So I let it get way out of control intentionally as I found it was stronger and more resistant than the dinos and choked out their light source. About once a month I siphoned the Slime out and each time the dinos were lessened.

Maybe the slime was a result of dying dinos, but I dont care. It worked and I see a tank in the future again

Hi Paddy have you though of using a shop vac to clean up those annoying dinosaurs? My kids constantly throw those everywhere and I found when I sucked them up I never seen them again. Shop vacs also work great for slimy messes you don't want to clean up with a rag.

Another alternative would be a wife that forces you to shut down your tank. But that's a whooole different ballpark.

I hope this helps with your problem because I like to help out where I can.

A tank in the future perhaps?

Yeah I'm still kicking around. I'm a single dad now so my children have taken up pretty much all my time. Surprisingly I still have all my equipment and even dried my LR. In the future I would love to do another tank but for now it's just going to be stored. I came to a conclusion not to sell because I have everything, why get rid of it!?

[paddyob]

I'm beginning to add frags. I believe my situation to be under control.

Watermelons from MarkoD.
