    pods

    Aye. Well I don't really have room where my tank is to add a fuge. So I guess until it moves I will hold off.

    pods

    Is it necessary to have a fuge on a 25 gal tank to support coepods for 1 mandarin fish? I added a bottle of tigger pods a month ago but I never see them. As always thanks for the help guys.

    something on my leather

    It doesn't look like a nem tho. And I thought that's what aiptaisia should look like?

    something on my leather

    So. A few days ago I noticed these tiny feather duster looking things on my leather coral. They are solid white and all have the same 8 point head. It seems like they grow in a colony and might be spreading upwards on it. these pics are 2 with my normal lights and the last ones with my super actins

    What kind of coral is this?
  14. wvanderborg

    should i add lr?

    And even at 2 inch a 55 is too small for that? And mr-X I've noticed your very good with ids. I got a leather coral in my 25 that I'm not quite sure of its actual name... think you could possibly give me an id? I know the ones a toadstool but the other is like purple and spikey and idk what it...

    should i add lr?

    Regardless of whatever common name it might be called here or there there's a picture on my album 25 reef. She's clearly identifyable in it.

    should i add lr?

    My mistake mr_x I shoulda been more specific. Its a yellow tail blue tang. Aka dorie from finding nemo. Lol
  17. wvanderborg

    should i add lr?

    I already have a yellow tail in my 25 gal. Dropped off by a customer at my work because he was moving and couldn't take it with him. And I figured it had better odds with me at home than at my work (I work at petco) but what your telling me is I might as well just get rid of this then because...

    should i add lr?

    Its a 55 gal fowlr. Or its going to be. Haha. Ammo spikes makes sense. But with my 25 I started with like 10lbs and moved upto about 25lbs and I added that all piece by piece and never had any spikes. Maybe I just got lucky. :/

    Copepod propagation

    Awesome. My girlfriend saw a mandarin and fell in love with them. I picked up a bottle of tigger pods and dumped them into my 25 reef just to see if they would colonize well enough to suffice one. But I was wondering about the conversion from live to frozen foods. Thanks carey. Lol

    should i add lr?

    How would adding lr cause spikes? And spikes in what?
  21. wvanderborg

    should i add lr?

    I picked up 2 pieces today weighing about 8lbs total. I don't really have extra $$ to pick up as much as id like so until I get paid again this is what I'm workin with. I just need this to cycle fast so I can get my dottyback away from my mean yellowtail. They will meet again but I think wit the...

    Tanks been cycling for 3 days. Levels are salinity 1.021 ammonia 0 nitrates/trites 0 temp is 78 ph is 8.2 (lights off) 8.4 (lights on) and yea. After work I plan on picking up maybe a 6lb piece to start with. But should I add it this soon? Thanks in advance everyone.

    does this look like aiptasia?

    I have a 55 gal in the cycle that the tangs going into until I get my own house and my 125 gal. Then she will go in there. Lol. And the pic is the first one in the album. I mainly use the droid app to view the forum and I'm not to sure how to add pics on threads this way.
