Count me out.... woke up today and not really feeling like doing the drive up and back. I have some things to do tonight to prepare for tomorrow. Looking forward to a report!

My symbiosis tank got some Dome love also. Added another clear anemone shrimp and an itty bitty Pom Pom crab last night. Eats see if I can find the crab again this morning

Added a super big blue spotted watchman and a blue-ish pistol,shrimp to this tank, that I got from that Dome meeting. I think my daughter was hanging around Planeden too much at the meeting, because she named them at the store Ben and Jerry

The pistol was apiered up with another smaller goby at the store, so wasn't too happy last night when the big goby came its way. Hopefully they will work it out today. The pistol made a nice cave in the front of the tank so far.

Congrats to JeeperTy for winning!

Thank you Gary and Aquadome staff for hosting the reef club meeting. Gary's talk was great, and my wallet is a lot lighter.

Dose log

Today tested calcium at 360 ppm and Alk at 8.4 dkh.

Losing 20 ppm calcium a day. Daily dose to maintain is 10 mil.

Losing 0.3 dkh (0.1 meq /l) per day. Daily dose to maintain 8-10 mil.

It's seems odd (compared to bottle) that my Ca is going away so much faster than Alk. Theoretically I should be dosing twice as much for Alk as I am calcium.

After testing I dosed 30 mil of Ca which theoretically brings me to 420 ppm. so tomorrow I'll be at 400.

2-14 dose 20 mil Alk

2-15 dose 20 mil ca.

2-15/2-16 test with salinity at 1.025. Maybe professionally.

2-17 go watch other people test and dose at Austin aquarium.

The meeting at the Dome is today, 2-16. The Aquarium visit is on the 17th.

Beautiful as always!

Looking forward to it!

Just wanted to add these are great fish. I have one in my 24g paired up with a large pistol shrimp. They are a great pair.

Good luck with the sale!

I want to see a saltwater version of this.

Fish can start visiting each other in multiple tank homes.

Where can I find this post?

The MARSH section of the forums is at:

Off to a great start with the pictures! And the tanks and new critters look great.

Hoping also for a recovery on the bubble coral.

I suspect this might not have ended well for the starfish... I took him off of the anemone after the picture. Not exactly sure what he was doing.

Looking forward to some spiffy pics from fellow ARC members

It's gone! Thanks for all the interest folks.

Bummer

I enjoy my Nest, except for seeing how much my heater runs!

You could still have a Nest, but you would need to have a "C" wire installed if the voltage sipping is causing problems. I have had no problems at all without a C wire on my system and (1st gen) Nest.

Moving to MARSH section.

Awesome hitch hikers.

Just noticed the reoccurring question about not being able to edit the first post.

Only premium members can go back and edit posts after an hours time.

My Kenya tree goes through cycles like that. Sometimes it is because a shrimp or something bothered it, sometimes it is just because. The one caveat is that in my large tank, my angel took a liking to it, so it was always shriveled up.

Give it a day or two.

Btw, Kenya trees can be as bad as Xenia mine drops branches all the time which drift around the tank until they attach to something.

I would highly doubt that it is photosynthetic. It seems most fans like that are found in dark caves/under hangs and strictly filter feeders.

That doesn't look 440g
