[StunnaShadez]

hey melev, does your nerites lay alot of eggs? mines lay them like theres no tomorrow. i constantly have to scrape the glass. theres alot on my koralia heads.

 

[melev]

Yes, they lay them quite often. I think they've figured out that I will remove them, because now they are mainly on the silicone seams.

 

[BradsOcean]

Wow...nice tank!!!
how many gallons is it exactly?

 

[melev]

My estimate is 20g. I didn't fill it up from jugs. It pumped in from the sump under my 280g reef.

 

[StunnaShadez]

haha, maybe by next week ill have a white koralia pump

Hey Mark,

What's the name of the red macro to the left of the Pavona refuge?

I think I have the same in my tank. Just sprouted out of the rock one day and has been growing very nicely.

Is yours sort of a deep pink on the back of the leaf and more orange on the front?

My guess is Dragon's Breath or Tongue.
Anything you could tell me about it would be great.

 

[melev]

I never got more information about it although I did try asking for help in the Macro Algae forum. It is Dragon's Breath.

Hey Marc, did you ever get around to posting anything about you collection trip either on RC or you website. I know you have been busy but I am really interested to see them whenever you get a chance. Thanks!

That is on my To Do list. I'll be adding that and the CRASE event to my site in the near future, and will try to remember to PM you the links.

 

[kmacartney]

Many thanks! When I grow up, I want to be like you.

 

[fillibar]

You chose the cut front rather than heating and bending it, any regrets about doing that? Or other things you would change (or have in a 2.0 version that has not yet made it to a thread yet)?

 

[melev]

Ver. 2.0 would have a bent front, and a flange on top. I'd probably drill holes around the base for closed loop flow as well.

It definitely looks like my Halymenia floresii. I would at least call it Halymenia, which is the genus for "dragon's tongue". Beautiful stuff. Doesnt seem to like super high light.. it'll flouresce orange as a stress indicator.

Nice to finally have an answer to that.
