Kevin's 36 gallon tank

[kwandrsn]

Ha ha. I had the window blinds open and the tank light wasnt on yet. I was watching and the fish were leaning to one side or the other / \ I was wondering why. I turned the lighta on and they straightened up.
Weird huh?

[apet66]

You caught them clowning around. Lol

[kwandrsn]

It was mainly the chromis

[kwandrsn]

Well with my nitrates being 20 I've come to the conclusion the nitrate removing filter pads don't work. Time to try something else

But I guess 20 isn't that bad

[kwandrsn]

Now its time for a Seagrams and coke

[kwandrsn]

New critter
Some kind of worm with legs
Also a hydroid that the guy at lfs says is a start fish... Ha...



And whatever the mystery xenia thing is I have 2 more starting to grow on the same rock. Too small to get a clear pic

this is growing I'm the shade under a rock not sure almost looks like little cups or something



I'm still on my first cube of frozen food lol. I don't think I needed two packs

[kwandrsn]

Aptasia?


Not sure it sucks back in sometimes
Kinda clear tentacles with a white spot maybe 1/32" from the tip

Could be glass anemone, its a pest and should be removed.

My mussel I named him Herman. He has a afro. The snails cleaned all the purple stuff off of him except for the top lol

I don't know it doesn't look like aptasia but if it is bad I want it gone. And I don't want Aptasia anywhere in my tank

Lol. Basketball is good. It's awesome that she's involved.

I don't know anything about the nuisance. I wish I did. Your tank looks great though!

[kwandrsn]

Thank you. it looks close to glass anemone. Maybe need to get it gone just in case. I've noticed it kinda looks like a circle

[apet66]

Google glass anemone and look at the pics.

[kwandrsn]

I read you can use lemon juice to get rid of them. How would I go about doing that. I have some lemon juice in the fridge

I did some pics look close other don't look like it at all

[kwandrsn]

I'm sure it is a pest anemone just need to figure out how to use lemon juice to kill it.

[kwandrsn]

Ok so I read you use a needle to inject lemon juice into its base. Hmm I don't see a base and I can see me going to the pharmacy and saying "hey...I need a needle man"
2 minutes later I'm surrounded by cops

Lol, that method is very difficult. The stems are small and they retract fast. I recommend aiptasia X. It will work on aiptasia and glass anemone.

I may look into it. Depending on cost.

I still can't believe all the stuff I've found on 2lbs of that live rock. I would be going nuts if I bought all of my rock live lol.
Definitely going to buy more from there lol. I just hate all the aptasia in their rock tanks

[apet66]

You just have to stand there and look for rocks without aiptasia on it. I've seen brain coral on their live rock. I picked a rock with aiptasia because I didn't know any better. Found 2 big ones last weekend when I moved my rocks around. Aiptasia X'd them buggers.
