Little white floaters, look like those micro air bubbles, but they are definitely not air bubble, everything is feasting on them, corals included. Any idea what they are?
That’s okay, thought I bought a new type of Favia, only to put it in my tank under my light and see that it was the same as the one right next to it ! Smh
I am getting asterinas established in one of my tanks, I designed a scape to create sheltered areas to act as a starfish refuge/reactor to keep the population up.
It always starts with some rigorous testing before I get living things in the tank, here is the counter testing for the controller for the Ridgeline Pico Scape. I have been excited for this design for a while!
The system includes programmable pump speed, full lighting control broken into 3...
I have others posted that I incorporated what I’ve learned, the Hexscape is my favorite and has been moved to my living room. Granted 3g is pretty small for a show tank, but it is pretty nice. A couple of the zoas from this tank ended up in there!
Added a couple acros on 2/19 (miyagi tort and immortal tort) and am getting good regular polyp extension! Did not like the digitata in the front so I replaced it with a yellow birds nest. Got a Favia (looks like the Sector 001 but not sure) and added it pretty high but seems to like the light...
Decided the design (being my first reef tanks and a diy pico) was too hard to do regular maintenance. I have moved all the corals and inverts to other tanks I have been building out!
I have my little thing of all-for-reef dosing to my 1 gallon! I do a 400ml water change a weekish. Keeping it cool when it gets warmer is definitely the harder part, and an ATO is almost non-negotiable.
Time for an update! Lost the Acro and green montipora to a spike in salinity (forgot to turn the ATO back on after a tank cleaning), replaced the acro with another kind of fuzzy stick and the monti with a Leptoseris. I also struggled with the coding for the lights and wound up with a few long...
