jestep Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I just saw some pods running around in this tank Yay! Always nice to finally see a good amount of life in a new tank. We were looking at pods and some nematodes on the glass with a cheap 10X photo loupe last week. Pretty amazing looking at them up close if you have a loupe or a magnifying glass.

I do actually, great idea! I've been seeing something that looked like nematodes crawling on the glass but figured they must be baby bristle worms. Are there really nematodes in sw tanks? I only know of them in soil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ct67stang Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 awesome placement of that dendro, is that a dendro from aaf a long while back? I got one when he was selling a few and it has grown to 4 or 5 times its size. it is a hog when I target feed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one when he was selling a few and it has grown to 4 or 5 times its size. it is a hog when I target feed it Thanks! I like it there too but just recently I've wondered what it'll do when it gets bigger/wider than that little cave. I actually got the dendro it came from from aqua sd maybe 2yrs ago. That original dendro from them has grown many new ones. Mine are all food hogs too. That's why I like them. So much easier to feed than sun coral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KimP Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 That Toadstool is just Beautiful!! Thanks,I think so too. It's gotta be the uv or something with that bml fixture.

+KimP Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Is your leptastrea blue? It's kind of a purple blue. Silvery-ish. I don't know what to call it Maybe lavender? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esacjack Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 call it "KimP's Purple" that way you can frag it and sell it for 300 dollars a pop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KimP Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I had a chance to do some maintenance this morning. I reglued the leptastrea and birdsnest that fell, removed some grape caulerpa looking algae growing by the zoas, and glued the new orange leptastrea on the rock. I'm really liking how it's coming along, especially with the new leptastrea. It filled in a big blank area nicely. I'll update my budget and pics soon. I went to clean up the refugium but realized the cheato is exactly the same. I guess there's just enough nutrients to keep it alive but not growing. Maybe it needs a brighter light, since that other macro popped up in the display, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planeden Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 i like grape caulupra. i may buy some for my tank and here you go just throwing it away. how's the mangy tribble? (leptrastrea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Oh I have plenty more grape caulerpa in my lagoon tank. I like it too but not when it's choking out zoas. The leptastrea is doing fantastic! Growing slowly but steady. I hope the orange does well in there. Gotta get a pic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planeden Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Oh I have plenty more grape caulerpa in my lagoon tank. I like it too but not when it's choking out zoas. funny, i thought something like this may be the answer. i scoured your FTS here to see if i could find some. since i didn't, i figured i would go for a little jab.

+KimP Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Okay here's a shot of the improvements. Some corals are closed up because this was right after I was done messing with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
