GlennF's 1500 liter mixed reef tank
- Thread starter glennf
- Start date
Work in progress
I removed a branch invested with invasive zoanthids sp.
Because i needed the branch i spayed the pest zoanthids with 10% caustic soda an left it there for a few hours. After that i used the highpressure washer to remove the waste.
I used a facemask all the time

Be careful with those palythoas, I cut some of the same kind under a diamond band saw with full face protection and somehow the toxin got aerosolized--Had to go the ER with tachycardia and incessant coughing.
Of course, living in the US means the doctors thought I was crazy mentioning the poisoning and sent me home saying I had the flu. Afterwards they billed me $1700 lol
These are the last pictures of this section of this tank.
It was long overdue and needed a makeover.
Glenn you are the only person I know who grows their own reef!!!

I aware of the danger...
I avoid close contact and the aerosols.
That is why I worked outdoors, used a facemask, sprayed it with caustic soda and ran away leaving it stand for hours.
I think the caustic soda may have neutralize the toxine, which i believe is an organic compound.
Anyhow i use the pressure cleaner long time after all zoa's ha become mush...
I also stand upwind when i used the pressure cleaner.

I love the new redo, looking at the pics it feels like a reef out in the wild.

My way of reefkeeping still make people frown their eyebrow.
The thoughts:
Impossible
Stupid
To much work
Why bother?
To expensive
Obstinate
Displeased
Controversial
Etc..
I don't realy care about that.
I care about results....
I thinks it's a frogskin acropora ...
Happy Reefing, GlennF
