The Nem Diary

My friend bought me a LTA as a gift

It even caught some food when I fed the tank so I spot fed it a bit.





And here it is after a few hours in the tank.
It moved there last night and was still in the same spot this morning.

 

is that all green hair algae? gotta get that under control! but the nem looks nice! love the purple. Was it dyed?

 

Thats a crazy purple. I'm wondering if it was dyed as well. Don't sweat the algae its a process, thanks for the pics.

 

Not sure about the purple though, LA has some really purple LTAs from time to time.
Am fighting the GHA...just got a good skimmer &a am hoping my new lights come in next week....next is a reactor for bio pelets & an ro/di system (currently is just r/o w/a aor fine micron prefilter + a double dose of UV).

 

GHA isn't a big deal, when you start getting bryopsis and bad calurpa then you have a problem. I think thats a rocking nem dude! keep us updated with pics.

 

Nice nem!, just an fyi, once you replace the bulbs, the algae will get a bit worse before it gets better ime.

 

Thanks.
yeah it's cool....only thing is that the water that it was in smelled like sewage and I know it was some sort of LFS (possibly home based though...knowing the friend who got it for me). Poor thing, I definitely don't want more stuff from there...justhope the nem makes it.

 

Thanks.
I'm switching from cfl/T5 combo to and LED fixture so we'll see if it affects the GHA.

 

Thanks

Here is a more recent picture.


Plus one of the rock flower anemones.

 

Both very very nice, congrats.

Yeah I am not to worried about the algae, this is not your first time at the rodeo.
