Nightster's shallow 50g build

Oh and the birdsnest has a purple monti attached to its frag plug, should look cool eventually.

 

Started my kalk dripping today, 1tsp per gallon @ 1 drip every 4 seconds. Nervous. Numbers pre drip are as follows.
Ca- 460
nitrate- 0
Phos- 0
Kh- 161
Salinity- 1.027
Noticed a small amount of coralline on my overflow too. Nem stayed in the spot I put it in. We'll see how long it stays there lol. Opened up pretty good, might try and feed it a small piece of shrimp.

 

yes, try rewarding it for being where you want it.....You can drip kalk quicker than that...I always drip kalk with lights off.....

 

Well I fed the nem, at first it seemed like it didn't want it, but once it figured out what it was it was more than happy to close up around it. Back open now, looks happy. For the love of something holy i hope it stays put. Its in the best spot yet. My kalk dropped started to slow already so I rigged up something else. Gallon jug with 2 holes in lid one has air line running through it with a choke valve on the end. 3 drops per second now. Anyone know of a good choke valve that would work for this?

 

Here is crossing my fingers the BTA stay put.

Good luck with the kalk. I have used it in the past and liked the results.

 

Thanks I need it! I'm gonna print out a picture of a rbta hosting a b&w clown and see if mine will jump in. Maybe that'll get the rbta to stay also. People actually have luck with that method?

 

Why yes they do.

Please post the results, I am really curious to see if it works for you.

If your anemone would hold still they might take to it on their own. You can also just target feed the anemone and not feed anything else. Sometimes they will figure it out.

 

So target feed the anemone and nothing else hoping the clowns go in for food?

 

Checked this morning to see how the dripping was going, my gallon jug had fallen into my sump. I don't think any spilled, frustrating. Poured the mix back into my other container, its sturdier. Anemone was still in the same spot.
