Still working on it Diana. Trying to figure how to clean that one large piece that is left as I can hardly lift it and it is covered in sponges and corals. :confused:
Good morning. This is a record temperature for New York in February. Almost 70 degrees and it should be about 20.
Tomorrow night it is going down to 25.
I took this at 630 this morning
So far I have about 80 gallons of ASW mixed and I found and bought more large vats to hold water, fish, corals and rocks.
When I mix up about 50 more gallons of water and heat it up, I will remove about 20 gallons of water from my tank to put the fish in and remove another 20 gallons of water...
Diana, come and get it. :D
Now I am just waiting to mix enough ASW. I have about 80 gallons so far but I need 125 gallons. I am also repairing some DIY "Rock" also
For Sale....FREE. It looks much better than this picture shows and is a 5" Koran Angel. . Perfectly healthy. If no one wants him next week I will give it to an LFS for their show tank.
I now have about half of the rock out of my tank so I have vats all over the place. My fish are all looking for new homes and they are giving me dirty looks. The rock I cleaned pretty good will be going outside in sea water. It is very cold and dark in the hopes the sponge will die but not...
I don't think that would work. Much of my tank is DIY rock and it has a lot of protrusions on it not really like store bought rock. Much of it is also dead corals from the last 50 years that I left in there so imagine using a rotary wire wheel on a piece of dead acropora with sponge coated...
I will attempt to do that. First I have to crawl out of my tank. :D
This is getting to be a lot of work. I have to get a 10 gallon tank for some of my corals that are encrusted with sponge because I can't get the corals off without killing them. I can remove as much visible sponge as I can...
I removed about a quarter of the rock on one side of my tank to try to remove as much sponge as I can
I cut the corals off the rocks and put them back in the tank. The rocks I removed, about 10lbs I scraped as much sponge off as I could and used a stainless steel brush on the really encrusted...
This year will be our 50th Wedding anniversary so we were going to take one of those Mississippi Riverboat cruises. Just the two of us. I don't want to go to Europe with all their problems. We have been to about all the Caribbean, Tahitian, and Hawaiian Islands and there isn't really many places...
I am going to fill the tank completely with ASW for a while as I don't think that sponge will live in it. I hope not anyway. The NSW I collect is loaded with silicates and that feeds the stuff.
When I am certain no sponge is alive, I may switch back to NSW or at least 50% NSW. I really don't...
Good Morning. On my walk in the cold and dark this morning I was thinking about passwords.
I hate anything with passwords because they never work for old people and are just made for Millennials or pre schoolers. My Grand Daughter who is 10 has no problems.
And has anyone noticed that they...
Today and tomorrow I will have the kids and Grand Kids here so I can't do anything except pick up things and clean. They are slobs. :oops:
WEll,,,messy anyway.
WE also have a lot of dinner invites and friends coming over to stay overnight so it has been very busy. In between I work on this...
