Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I believe clams are filter feeders by pumping water through them as well, not necessarily microfauna. They have no hunting capabilities, just whatever water flows through.
Perfect unseen heroes under the sand or in the sump honestly. No lighting requirements since they're non photosynthetic...
UV sterilizers uses the UV radiation
to mutate the pathogen, parasite or algae so it is unable to reproduce, thereby reducing it's population in the tank over time. I just got one too, for my new build, primarily for polishing the water. Plan on running a few hours a day, haven't given it much...
You can get a slipxthread adaptor and throw on the ¾" slip bulkhead. Not the prettiest, but gets the job done in a pinch.
Otherwise, give Aquatic Obsessions a call, I get most of my fittings and bulkheads from there.
Looking for a nice brain coral or maze coral skeleton.
Something like this.
Would be open to favias or acans too, larger pieces, if possible. Symphyllia? PM me what you got.
Hmm.. mine are in my DT, swimming around like the poor man's anthias haha. Actually found the baby in the DT too.
I do have a trio of them in my refugium tank, hoping they'll have better survival rate of babies under the protection of the enchanted forest of chaeto.
1 of the oysters definitely didn't make it, but I suspect he wasn't alive when I got him. They're sold on a bed of ice, so it's hard to tell whose alive. But the CuC cleaned him up good.
Finally got some saltwater molly babies!! :dance:
Or at least first time I saw one hehe. They've been fantastic with algae. I figured the babies would either grow up or become food for everybody, but there's bound to be a handful of survivors each batch. He's of the dalmation variety.
I guess...
6 months for the quahogs, maybe 4 months for the littlenecks, 2 hours for the oysters haha. We shall see.
Were you feeding the bay tank at all? My dirty af tank got all that detritus, Reef Energy AB+, reef roids, phyto, live brine and Benepets. I wonder if that's helping them at all.
