SnooknRedz's 20 Gallon(SHUT DOWN)

Thank you. I said the same. I originally went in just to get some water for top offs and a WC but they caught my eye and i had to do it.. I had been waiting for them to get a decent batch in. today was my lucky day haha. BTW i like your avatar. If you click on the 1st pic you can see my YWG in the top right by my thermometer, just chillin. haha.

 

Thank you 2in10!

 

Due to my new work and school schedule its hard to find time to get on here so here's an update of the tank. My black & white clown died 2 weeks ago from my YT damsel. I removed the damsel and just picked up a new maroon clown. Im still battling GHA like crazy, I just bought a new Hydor Nano 240 to add more current to help rid the GHA. My polys are doing pretty good i see a new full grown polyp, and another forming. I have a lot of coralline growing on my base rock, skimmer, filters, hell its everywhere and growing fast! Now that the tank bully is out im thinking about adding a shrimp sometime soon, as well as some other type of lps (undecided still).

Heres a vid of the new clowns first feeding, I think he'll do just fine ;D

Heres another i got this morning before work with the actinics on. Enjoy ;D

 

FTS

The CD case on the bucket lid is my ATO.. well almost auto

The valve where I can set the drip rate to about 2 drops/sec.

Very nice DIY

 

thanks 2!

Heres a little video of the tank at its 7 month point. Most of the GHA is gone and my YWG (Hannah) comes out all the time now that my YT Damsel is gone.

 

Found myself staring at my tank a little more than usual. come to find i added 10 hermits a week ago... 7 are gone... idk why? i havnt tested my parameters but my snails and fish are doing just fine so im not sure why that is. im guessing didnt make it past a molt, but why all of them all the sudden? I found my blue legged i had for a long time ( couple months) has been killed and his shell over taken by another one. and now that crab either died or moved on that fast. This is depressing! but i also noticed i have pods!!! quite a few of them actually hangin out in patches of GHA and on the glass. def a good sign.

 

They molt quickly if there is enough food, all you see in the tank is the carapace and legs, I don't think you have lost any.

 

I hope your right, i know i've counted 4 "bodies" ive seen floating around. and i have 3 shells with no crabs. but i am new so im not 100% sure if its their carapace or just them. Ill just keep looking!

 

Those sound like molts.
