That's cool
I'll let you know how cool it is:lol:


Have this green bubble coral that is healthy and feeding but some of the bubbles are turning brown on the inside. I have my nitrates and phosphates down to unmeasurable and the water has become crystal clear.
Wondering if the increased penetration of the lights might be causing this?
 
Bubble corals do have brown pigments in them so I think it's normal. If it croaks, it wasn't normal.

Tks the coral seems healthy. I try not to go with the second point...to expensive besides with my wife taken a real interest in the reef..finally...I can't let anything die at least without a plausible explanation of why it wasnt my fault lol
 
just found the thread. like the copper penny trick. Too bad todays pennies only have 2.5% copper. Before 1982 it was 95%. Need to look for some old pennies.

Ha ha, I have a jar of about fifty of them, I'll sell 'em to ya for a buck apiece!

(J/K) :lol2:
 
Thank you Capn, I saw that link. I have a pneumatic mind and it infuses knowledge through photosynthesis and telekinesis from these forums, especially when someone mentions my name.
As for my tank, Dam the thing looks healthy. I don't know why and I can't remember the last time I changed water but I will have to get to that soon just so people don't start yelling at me. I hate when they do that. I can't stop my mandarins from spawning and I think the rest of the fish just feel left out so they all spawn. My copperband is so jealous that he doesn't have a mate and he spits at me every chance he gets. The algae trough doesn't have any algae in it for some odd reason but it is teeming with tube worms. So many that they can't even stay in the water and are slowly climbing up the wall. The latest batch of amphipods I collected and added formed a Glee club and are practicing DooWops. I am taking my Grand Daughter to my collection tide pool tomorrow and hopefully have her "help" me collect amphipods. With any luck, we may get "one". She loves the tide pool.
My pistol shrimp are still building mountains and I think they are spawning, but it is hard to tell because the female doesn't come out much. She is shy but I can see her antenna so I know she is fine.
The possum wrasse is venturing out in the open more and I think the multibanded pipefish is goading him to do it. That pipefish is a show off as is the shier dragon face pipe. But they are very cool and I am still looking for more multi stripe pipes as they have a high coolness factor. I don't like angelfish or tangs as they are just to yesterday. Occasionally I see a fish in there that I have no idea where it came from and must have gotten into the tank through osmosis.
I have a bio pellet reactor, empty of course because I think they are only for Girly Men. I keep the thing in there because it seems to be a disco for brittle stars. There are loads of them in there. I am not sure what they are doing as brittle stars are by design, lousy dancers as they have 4 left feet.
OK, time to go and get Greta. Now the fun starts.





 
I don't have time for raising fry any more. I couldn't be able to catch them in my tank anyway, but I used to raise fish years ago.
Now I have to spend time with some of these
 
For Paul lol.
