I rubber band it to a small rock and put that on the substrate.
The chaeto I’d just use tongs to dangle in front of the crab, or pin it under a rock or in a crevice.
Actually prior to algae sheets I’d feed it strings of chaeto from my fuge. Then I read that doesn’t allow the nutrients to export so I switched to the nori.
when my bubble algae was gone mine had gone pale white, but after I started feeding algae sheets it greened up again. Probably was starving and either would’ve died or found a taste for coral. Either way algae sheets 2-3 times a week worked well, and the crab kept scouring the rocks too.
I seeded with algae barn 5280 (multiple species) as well. I’ve read where people without a fuge make a rubble pile in their display and seed that so some pods can multiply In there where they can’t be reached.
I’ve also used the bottled reef nutrition tigger pods to boost the population at...
I use a hang-on refugium from BRS and replaced the strip light with a clip-on flood light from Home Depot. Works a lot better! I use indoor/outdoor floor bulbs and growth has been great. Only complaint is the chaeto near the surface gets burnt and stringy, So I discard from the top down. the...
Great time-thanks again to the Aquarium Care Center! My son and I had a lot of fun. He loved checking out the eel, the blue velvet damsel, and the “mini-eels” (cleaner wrasses).
Scored some beautiful rock flowers at an awesome price-what a great variety there were to choose from! And glad I...
Awesome. In theory I'd love to, but in reality I'm never sure if I can all off a few hours away, especially once the kids' activities take over my calendar. I'll follow along and if the timing works I'd be into it.
I think it’s important to thaw and then rinse the frozen food if possible (cyclops are to small to rinse, and LRS and Rods supposedly don’t need to be rinsed)-otherwise frozen can cause a mess in the tank.
I like to mix it up so I have a few frozen foods and pellets so I try to feed different...
