180 Up and Running (Downgraded to 90 Gallon)!

Hell Mommy always says it's completely empty...

Have you tried one of these. Lettuce Nudibranch (Bryopsis - Eating Nudibranch) - Tridachia crispata

 

Well, I'm sure you balance her out

Those little nudibranchs would get sucked through our system and destroyed within a day the way our flow is set up. We've gotten a few urchins and I've been hand plucking the long strands out weekly and blasting as much detritus out of the rock and coral as possible on a daily basis. We've tried raising our magnesium levels (as was suggested on a popular thread on the subject on another forum) but that has done nothing for us but piss off the LPS corals so we're letting those levels drop back to normal for the time being.

 

Well at $14 a piece they would be cheap bait if they didn't work. ;D

 

Hey Amcarrig Tank looks Amazing. Love how fat your Acans are. I could never get them to do that.

Looks Great.

My dear boy, dontcha know that nothing in my tank will eat a nudibranch

 

Thanks J. One of the corals that I think that you're talking about is the candy cane that is next to an acan in the center of the tank. I've had that candy cane for about 10 years now and many of my club members have a piece of it as well as it's a really good grower. The candy cane and the acan are two of the few lps corals that has done well regardless of the troubles that we've had with the tank. So far, we've only only lost one small blasto colony as a result of keeping our mag and ph up so high.

 

Once it is sucked in and chopped up by that 11k gph Dolphin pump it will just be little pieces of food to the rest of the fish.

 

LOL I'm going to design a series of H/D commercial garbage disposals around that pump LOL the Dolphin rules ..I can't wait to see what the two Big Moes I showed you when you went to the shop with me will do.. 20,000 GPH ea. and you know what the little 11 K like I sent you would do LOL

 

wow the tank looks REALLY good you two! I hope you both are very proud! Good Job!

 

Yes well last week or so I was so temped to pour a few gallons of Bleach into it then just start over.. Then after a few hrs I decided to take another course of action on the byropis . We'll see and film at eleven.. I still kick my butt for not just tossing out that one coral and rock when I thought about it..
