flyguy7150 · 12/16/2007, 12:06 PM

Start off a new page with some pics of my newest addition...

Some kind of acro, don't know the sp?

easye123 · 12/16/2007, 01:13 PM

lookin good!

are you treating new acros for bugs and flatworms? If not i would HIGHLY suggest it. I cant telly you how many mistakes i made with wild colonies having red bugs. Lukily only a couple colonies had AEFW and lukily ReviVE treated them....

I would order some revive and se if you can get some inceptor if your gonna start adding lots of acros.

No i haven't. It's hard to get interceptor. I was gonna pick up some iodine, like lugols, and use that for dipping.

easye123 · 12/16/2007, 08:54 PM

Ive never used Iodine.. dont even know if that does anything. I would order a bottle of Revive. its like 6 bucks.

flyguy7150 · 12/16/2007, 09:02 PM

hmm you got a link???

flyguy7150 · 12/18/2007, 10:06 PM

Don't know if itll survive

chrismunn · 12/22/2007, 03:55 PM

so did you take care of thoes mojanos? i was able to suck them off the rock with a turkey baster when i had them in my tank.

flyguy7150 · 12/22/2007, 06:14 PM

yep so far looks good, mixed up a thick kalk past covered them fully in it, wouldnt squeeze through a needle, and they are gone now. Hope they dont return

Reeftanks6 · 12/22/2007, 06:49 PM

Unfortunetly, yes. The pagoda cup and monti confusa at the top on the left side.

Reeftanks6 · 12/22/2007, 07:32 PM

oo has it done a lot of damage or just a little because i want to try to get a angle for my 90 any suggestions

flyguy7150 · 12/22/2007, 08:05 PM

Well the pagoda is still doing fine, still shows its polyps, just not as extended as it was before the flame. The monti still shows its polyps at nighttime. All angels are 50/50 when it comes to nipping. I'd stick with the dwarf angels for your 90.

Reeftanks6 · 12/22/2007, 08:10 PM

yea thats what i thought but idk if i want to take the chance with all the money spent on corals

easye123 · 12/22/2007, 08:42 PM

Majano anems are my nightmare. lukily i dont have gha or byropsis or anything like that but boy do i have mmajanos..

If I set up a new tank and saw one at all I would compleltly get rid of that rock. Joes juice or anything like that is just temporary.. they come back worse. When you put the stuff on them the main one get so stressed out that it splits like crazy.. which in weeks turns into a mess. theyre worse than apatasia IMO.

SO if that rock isnt a big deal I would get rid of it completly.

flyguy7150 · 12/22/2007, 11:21 PM

well i posted about those majanos about a month ago, kalked them, and havent been back since, knock on wood.

flyguy7150 · 12/25/2007, 09:09 PM

Merry Christmas!!!
Lots more pics, these are all actinic shots....
Start off with FTS...

flyguy7150 · 12/25/2007, 09:10 PM

These UVL superactinic really brings out the colors, they're great...

Reeftanks6 · 12/25/2007, 10:07 PM

flyguy7150 · 12/27/2007, 01:59 AM

You dont have to take a chance

You can look into the genicanthus genus of angels. They are plankton feeders and reef safe. They are just a little tough to find sometimes, and all of them arent especially suited to reef tanks.

flyguy7150 · 12/29/2007, 05:11 PM

Side view pic i liked....

sump and equipment shot, added the 2nd phosban reactor...

using phospure, also picked up that revive stuff...

How much GFO do you guys run in your reactors??? I have 4 tablespoons in there right now, seems too little

Reeftanks6 · 12/29/2007, 05:27 PM
