Mr. rY's JBJ 28g NANO-CUBE CF-QUAD

[Mr. rY]

The tank is coming a long nice! The coral looks super

What is that piece of equipment the clowns are near?

Thanks!
Its a 360 wave maker, and the one near the thermometer its a koralia powerhead 425gph

 

[Craigj247]

Cool! Quick question... How come the water surface seems so still? Or am I just imagining things...

 

[Mr. rY]

I have the stock powerheads on alternate mode so in this pic the one thats running is the one one the left which i stalled the 360 wavemaker, all it does is make spiral water flow which doesnt affect the surface, after 5 mins it turns off and the right ones turns on, i have it face upward so the waves affects the upper portion of the tank. I believe i get more circulation in this setup plus the koralia in front

 

[Craigj247]

Cool... You should look in to getting two vortecs... You'll love those... The options for timing is crazy not to mention that they are wireless too... But a bit pricy...

 

[Mr. rY]

Theyre expensive i could get a new bigger tank with the price of those lol

 

[Craigj247]

Lol is true

 

[Mr. rY]

Pls ID



For the past week i noticed my zoas have been close most of the time and i noticed this little furball-like crawling on top of my zoas, i was wondering if they could be the reason y my zoas r always close, so i tried to tweez them out but when i do they separates into this little black pieces which is in the picture. I did this last week but they seem to always come back into my zoas. Pls help

 

[Craigj247]

Wow no idea dudes... Try running a google search for parasites on zoas... There is a whole bunch of stuff...

 

[Mr. rY]

I did, its kinda like a small nudibranch but everytime itake it out, its body separates

 

[Craigj247]

Any way you might be able to syphon them out?

 

[Craigj247]

Something I came across... not sure if this is it though

Parasite On Zoas - Singapore Reef Club

 

[Mr. rY]

It is like that, ill try to syphon them out when i see them again, thanks!

 

[Craigj247]

No worries... Good luck!

 

[Mr. rY]

So i just syphon it, it seems that it works better than tweezing. Hopefully theres nothing left

 

[Craigj247]

Great stuff... Hopefully they don't multiply faster than you can get them out.

 

[Mr. rY]

Yea hopefully bro, they dont seem to bother my other corals, my lps and leathers r great, im not getting zoas for now until i resolve this prob. Btw thanks, hows ur tank so far, and your 90g in the future? Got ur supplies ready for that?

 

[Craigj247]

Tanks is doing good... Didn't start on the 90 gal yet have it all planned out but over here in Sri Lanka there are only a hand full of people in the salt water hobby so likewise no real aquarium suppliers for the marine aquarium products. We have to get the tanks custom made... Even the sumps etc. I need to buy from about 5 to 6 different aquariums... It's real hard over here...

Will keep you updated no sooner I start... Going nano tank hunting over the weekend as a friend of mine also wants to get in to the reef tank hobby.

 

[Mr. rY]

Goodluck man, spread the words on reef keeping ! Haha

 

[Craigj247]

That's the plan

 

[Mr. rY]

What kind of snail is this? Its a small white one, no shell yet.
