BadFish's REEFER Madness

[iDream]

that blue ric looks awesome!

Tanks, got them from the LFS. They had a deal for $10 a piece, couldn't pass that up.

 

[Badfishofbabylon]

These LEDs are making algae bloom like crazy! I cleaned it last night, now look at it. I guess I need more snails

 

[iDream]

Is the cycle done yet? I know you like the LEDs but if you're cycling you might as well keep them off

 

[Badfishofbabylon]

Yeah it got done like 2 day ago, right before the algae got bad. The LEDs are only at 20%

 

[mr_X]

that appears to be diatoms. quite common at this stage.

 

[Badfishofbabylon]

Yeah, it just wasn't this bad in the first tank. I guess its the LEDs that is boosting it.

 

[ChizerBunoi]

Wow that tank is sexy.

 

[Badfishofbabylon]

My wife and I have been neglecting this tank the last few days because I'm in the middle of another much slower build. So she decided to add something to make us take our focus back on this tank.

 

[Badfishofbabylon]

Drip acclimated him for about 40 mins, as soon as he got in the tank he snagged a star.

 

[iDream]

Nice! I love harlequins!

You will probably have too feed him stars after he kills all yours in such a small tank

And where's the build thread for the other tank?!

 

[jenatron]

Noice!

 

[Badfishofbabylon]

Makeshift starfish tank.
My dog Louie loves watching the tanks

 

[Badfishofbabylon]

Don't worry iDream she was already on top of it, she picked up 2 choc. Stars.
And the other build thread will be up when I find time to write it. I'm in the process of looking for a house, and building a tank. What's wrong with me?

 

[iDream]

Good, also I imagine with the tank being the size it is adding a whole star will pollute the tank pretty fast, so just feed it a leg.

 

[Badfishofbabylon]

Yeah, I'm hoping since they regenerate there legs And I have 2 of them that I can just cycle through legs and not have to buy another star for while. I'm just not sure how often to throw a leg in there.

I find this hilarious in some sick twisted way..

 

[iDream]

^^LOL but it's okay because starfish aren't advanced enough organisms to feel pain! I think..

I'm not sure either, I imagine every 2-3 days would be a big meal for him/her so maybe every 5 days? I say google it!

 

[Biocube14]

Yeah, this is almost worthy of a 'saw 7' script..

 

[mr_X]

i don't think this is going to work for the above mentioned reasons. water quality, chopping legs off of a starfish and tossing them in, getting a harlequin to eat non-live food....
i am interested to hear the outcome though.
