I saw this picture and thought of SLAGATHOR. Hahaha.

Well had another successful feeding . Table shrimp and of course the silverslide head. I'll keep mixing the food with the fish head for a good month then I will give it a try without it and see what happens.

Good job! I just got mine to eat last night also

 

[Hondatek]

I know I saw that.... Which half did you feed the head or tail? I'm 95% sure the head is what triggers their feeding response after today . Well with mine at least .

 

[Khij159753]

Yeah it was the head half.

 

[Hondatek]

2 pics from today. I got a New phone with a pretty good camera . I just have to figure out why they are small

 

[Hondatek]

What are some opinions on getting a trachypyllia brain coral ? My main concern as always is the tank being low flow . It's only flow is from the mag 7. Thanks

 

[Hondatek]

What are some good algae eating snails ? I got my nitrates and phosphates down to 0 so I just need the remaining bits of hair algae gone. No turbo snail because if they knock my frags over I will feed them to porc chop lol.thanks

 

[Ingy]

The turban snails do a great job for me. They are not very susceptible to predation like their cousins.

 

[skywhitney]

Nerites are awesome. And nice and cheap lol

 

[Hondatek]

Ok thanks . I'll see what my Lfs has in stock today.

 

[Hondatek]

Check this out . I never seen my frogspawn this big before . I might have to move it over its blocking slagathors walk way.

 

[Crystal A]

That a mean looking pic. Glad you put it in the potm.

 

[Hondatek]

Thanks . It only took a whole day to decide which one to use lol

 

[Crystal A]

I usually have them picked out right after I post one. Haha lol

 

[Hondatek]

Just spent an hour at the lfs eyeballing the green welso but I could not accept the price tag on it.picked up a red acan with 4 heads for $ 30. Thinking I should put it pretty high up but I'm not sure. Any suggestions ?

 

[fort384]

I would put it low, especially to start. Acans don't need crazy light. I have some on the sand bed in my tank, and others about midway up. Both are doing well and growing.

 

[Hondatek]

Ok thanks fort.

 

[fort384]

Of course it is fairly evident that you don't actually have them since there are no pics.
