Psiclone's 55 Gallon Reef Tank

That thing also seems to be a filter feeder♠

 

looks good
pic is too blurry jk
im not sure what it is


I like how your lighting looks

 

Well time for another update.

There's more things starting to pop up as the nitrites are going down. Now I know I shouldn't add anything but Packleader made me do it. Feel free to flame him. So I got a couple of freebies that he was going to flush down the toilet lol. It's for science!

Green Star Polyps




Pulsating Xenia


Zoas- Favorite so far



Everything seems to be pretty happy. The Kenya tree did not make it past 2 days.

The Liverock has started to get some brown algae and some weird algae forming on it.





Ok here's the one I'm worried about. You'll probably have to click on the picture and magnify it to really see what I'm talking about (Hold control and scroll your mouse wheel). It looks like a small fern and is spreading to a lot of the rocks in the tank. I'm scared that its bryopsis.

Evil SOB. Blow up the image and look along the top of the little rockline


Also the hitchhikers seems to be happy.
Bivalve Clam


Vermetid[sp?] snail. This guy throws out a little tow line into the current and rakes in the goodies.


Thanks for looking. Help on the little feathery invader would be much appreciated.

 

First algae rock looks like normal diatoms and GHA - nothing to be alarmed about. Can't tell what the "fern" one is though.
Corals look good

 

Parameter Update:

pH 8.2
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 2.0
Nitrates 20
Phosphate 0.5
Calcium 480
dkh 12
Mg 1230

On a sadder note the xenia melted away today

 

Well

Insert Noose here.

I'm breaking down the tank and nuking it due to bryopsis infestation.

/cries like a girl

 

Lets see some pics of the crime scene

 

You might need to take some corals back, Packleader ?
and your Bryopsis with them? I Shouldnt laugh - its not funny

 

Bryopsis did not come from my frags, it was from some LR he got.
And no thanks, I will skip on taking those frags back He can do with them as he pleases

 

i have 1 3-4inch long fern thing in my tank, its not on the rock its on the glass and there is only one of them, it looks like a loong fern, is this what your talking about?
