weird.

neat looking.

to move around, does it roll or scoot?

 

It scoots. It scooted about three inches from last night's position. It looks comfy now.

 

So here are some more pics. The sea apple looks happy and is currently moving toward the sea floor. I am not sure whether I should move the pagoda out of the way or leave it there. Ahhhh, I'll just leave it. Here are the pics. Got some good ones.

This is the it's good side (OK the only side I could get).



Here is a frontal shot



Here is close up.....




This is seriously one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I love it.

 

it has a nice colored crown. the royal ones are cool too there blue and yellow. they always seem so fat for something thats a filter feeder(well i think its a filter feeder anyway)

also something tells me if you bit into that apple, it wouldn't keep the doctor away

 

i am looking at the animal that whipped out my old 55...... i will never even think about keeping one again. just be carefull John, it looks great though.

 

Oh yeah. I know. They can do a gooooood job. Beauty and the Beast. What set your's off?

 

i didnt even read your last post... whoops! mine came in an Acan Lord rock i got offline, never knew he was there till it was too late.

 

Testing

11:45 dKH= 8.4 Added 3 tsp of Reef Builder
15:50 dKH= 9.8 Added 2 tsp of Reef Builder

 

Very Pritty & Nice PICs PJ

 

Testing

OK, it's waaaaayyyyy too late, but I was making a drip system for my Calcium and got carried away.



It became a Mooby's moment

Anyway my testing came back as:

pH: 8.2
Temp: 82
NH4: 0.3
NO2: 0
NO3: 25
dKH: 9.8
Ca: 370
Mg: 1320
PO4: 0.25 (approx)
SG: 1.0265

I added some Prime to detoxify. I added some Phosphat-E to get rid of the PO4. I added two more teapoonsful of Reef Builder (7 tsp total in last 14 hours) to bring the dKH up to a target of 12. Will retest tomorrow. I will then start a Ca drip and start bringing the level up to 460 (25ppm per day). Then I will worry about Mg.

My goal is to start three drip systems to maintain dKH, Ca and Mg. It is not going to be connected to an ATO, although it will, in a way, perform the same task. We'll see how it goes. Shouldn't be rocket science.

Oh, and as a side note, I mixed up some Joe's Juice and began looking for my aiptasia. I was on a mission. I could only find one. It seems my Peppermint shrimp have been doing their job. But the one left got it good with a syringe full of death. Neato. It did not like it a bit.
