My Reef-In-A-Cube

OH, I forgot about all of that, I am sorry, How is he doing lately?

I am going to attempt the raising of the mag again, It seems that when I stopped it was because we moved, so I slacked back on w/c's and the mag testing and dosing....so this may work for me against this bryopsis.

Hospice has been called in now and the Oncologist team told him he has about 2 months left. I wish I had better news, but thanks for asking just the same.

I have heard of many people having success with raising their calcium against Bryopsis, but it seemed to be one product in particular that worked the best. I think it was Kent Tech-M and it was actually a side effect of dosing with it. I know there is at least 1 thread on here about it if not more, so you may want to do a search on that.

[YeeHawReefer]

I did that search, and I have read multiple threads from all different boards too, with the same basic success with before and after pics too.... and oops you put ...calcium in your post , then it would be PINK PINK PINK with all that calcium.

i was thinking about getting those light's do you like them? do they work good? any flaw's? i want those because they dont cost a lot unlike sunlight supply

[YeeHawReefer]

The only thing I wish I would have gotten is the better model, just because this one doesn't have parabolic reflectors, its just one reflector for all 4 bulbs....Its still a bright light.

[TR 25]

dose it make it a big difference if they each have an idividual reflector

The T5s on here is just a Nova Extreme 24" fixture, it hangs over a bit, but doesnt look so bad, The corals enjoy it, Though it does NOT have parabolic individual reflectors, so if you get one, get the Pro, or Tek light, actually I was looking today there are quite a few now.....small wise for 24" fixtures....some 4 bulbs some 6. You asked, I produce:

29 cube, next to it, my 3g pico:

i love the little one is it hard too keep up on and top off?

[YeeHawReefer]

It has a top on it so its not real bad at all for topoff, I will take some pics when I can, i am coming down with what seems like that flu bug now....

[TR 25]

Sorry, I have not been online in a while.

This is the Tech-M I was referring to: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...fm?pcatid=4791

Finally, some new pictures, I have been slacking, BUT, I have found a sea hare to hopefully assist in the eradication of the bryopsis. I should be getting it tomorrow after work. Here are some pictures....

First up is the problem: A best I can get macro shot of this stuff and its roots.(cerith snail to the right.....)


And here, besides a small colony up top, here are the only zoas I have left after this stuff has smothered 2 colonies now......I keep it back as best as I can so they can survive.


And now the positive: A good picture of my shrimp....I have found an ID last year for it- Hawaiian Candy Cane Shrimp:


And a duncan macro...just playing with this little point and shoot digital my wife has.....It doesnt take bad pics at all.

[aquawolf]

Nice pictures. That algae is something else. I wish you luck with the sea hare and hope it mows it down for you.

I just finished posting a new thread for the 54 gallon frag build.

[YeeHawReefer]

sweet, headed over to check it out now, hopefull the Sea hare will help, I do know its not a fix, but it may be.........
