The Scleractinia Shallows

[biggles]

I thought you had to go to the dr and get a script, what did you actually use ?

I accidentally broke an acro branch the other day and in anger i smashed your green stylo with the cutters.......... anyway that's why a little green ball is sitting behind your red and orange Bulent's Bliss frag :fun4:

 

[sparker1663]

I'm more concerned with the fact you know what a bitter a-hole tastes like?????

 

[reefmutt]

If you haven't tasted bitter a hole... with a hint of nutmeg, you haven't lived!

 

[sparker1663]

I wouldn't be trusting anything that remotely resembled nutmeg around that area.....

I was under the impression that you were breeding Blue-Faced Angels!

On another note, as you can all see in the pics I picked myself up the most adorable little teeny tiny Bellus Angel last week and I am completely in love lol.[/IMG][/URL]

Yes me too. What gives Dom! Make with the reef safe blue faced angels already. It's been atleast a month. Plenty of time to refine the product and bring it to market!

You do but Dave got some from a secret source so I stole some off him haha they were the proper 200mg powder capsules

I don't mind a few branches being broken lol should add a little more pop to the tank haha

:lolspin::lolspin::lolspin: gee I wish it was so simple to breed and edit millions of years of evolution :hammer: hahaha

 

[martinphillip03]

Dom, all kidding aside, how are plans coming to breed fish?

secret source came good with the secret sauce

Slowly lol getting to the end of the semester so it's assignment and exam time! Still searching for a pair of fish that I want to work with!

Indeed!! It's basically all gone :celeb3: just working on this damn bubble algae!

Oh here we bloody go........

Get off your arse, get your head in a real :reading: and figure it out. I would suggest some form of gene splicing apparatus before you even consider making foods - you need to make the bloody fish before you need to worry about what to feed them............. i've gotten you started now get on with it please mate.

Pifey and i will take a mated pair each asap ! :beer:

 

[cFloor]

Tank looks great despite the bubble algae. I think I'd have it too if I didn't have my desjardini tang. I'm loving the bellus and wrasses!

And please put me down for one tank bred, reef safe, Blue Face Angel

 

[kevlow]

And please put me down for one tank bred, reef safe, Blue Face Angel

It appears that there is going to be quite a line forming for tank bred, reef safe, Blue Face Angels in mated pairs. I would like to get my name on the list. My new display will be up and running next week so you can ship as soon possible.

I would suggest that you get an order processing software, one that allows us to see where we are in the line up. It can also give notifications as to estimated time of arrival.

Thanks again. This is an awesome idea.

If you could do this soonish as I kinda told my wife that we could get her favorite fish a a good mate was "making them" for us and now she is super excited. We're hoping they will be the first fish I my DT! This is exciting stuff Dom! You're amazing. My wife didn't even care about the shipping cost! Can you post some pictures of the breedibg/training program you're using! I understand if you can't is probably proprietary and against Peta or something. I heard you were using shock therapy and gene splicing!? Great ideas.

Seriously you lot! Pests the lot of you!! :uzi: :lolspin:

Well a little update on things in the Shallows. The new wrasse is doing great but the tiny little bellus didn't make it Her anal fin was gone and I didn't think anything of as it was just a missing fin but I awoke to one morning her stomach and abdomen completely gone I'm not sure what happened and it hurt but there's nothing I could have done, no signs of infection or anything.

The next update on the tank is the Vibrant vs Bubble Algae! I've put three doses in and I'm thankfully starting to see something so I hope this is going to work for the terrible infestation in the tank!! Even if they do look pretty.... haha


You can see the progression of death though which I'm loving haha


They've taken a hold a little stronger than I wanted as over the last two weeks I've had no skimmer on the tank as the pump died! Been a **** few weeks actually but luckily someone was selling a second hand RLSS R8i for just a little bit more than a replacement pump so I'm upgrading skimmer tomorrow lol. The other piece of kit that's nearly ready to rock and roll is the calcium reactor! We're all filled, the pH probe and controller is in and measuring, I've got the regulator and solenoid set, all I need to do is go and get a bottle of CO2 and get her cranking As you can see the tank has a nice pH of just over 8 lol


All in all, the tank is doing nicely and things will hopefully colour back up again after two weeks of no water changes, carbon or skimmer while doing the fluconazole treatment or bryopsis (WHICH IS THE GREATEST THING EVER). Carbon and GFO are back in the tank and I did a 25L water change today so things look a little fresher and the tank is still liking the AF probiotic salt

And even though it's flubber, this kind of flubber porn is worthy of being in an sps forum lol

 

[Pife]

That's incredible with the vibrant. What size bottle are you picking up?

 

[reefmutt]

Looking good, Dom!
So the fluco eradicated the bryopsis? I'm waiting I getting some myself..
Curious to see how the Vibrant works in the bubbles.
Go stick a pin in all the bubbles, on that'll get rid of them right quick. Then the Vibrant only has to work on spores..
It's very satisfying to stab the little buggers as well!!!!!
I like that new skimmer. They are very good and quiet skimmers.
I loved my DB10i until the pump died and it took 6 months to get a replacement- and then the new one died less than a year later and they never replaced it.. so I stopped using it and vowed never to use an rlss skimmer again- even if when it was working, it ran like a beast...

 

[Wrangy]

I just got the 8oz (250ml) bottle as I'm only dosing 8ml every 4 days so it'll last long enough to defeat it!

Yep, all the little stray strands have gone And I'm back to doing water changes again so my heart is happy too haha
I have thought about popping them and going with that but my other thoughts are, will the vibrant work on the spores? Because if it doesn't it'll make the cycle take longer as the spores will have to settle, start to grow and then be effected by the Vibrant lol so I'm just going to let it do it's thing and just siphon them out when I do water changes

I have heard of all the pump issues they've had but I think after 5 years of non-stop service I can forgive them for a pump dying haha I just hope that this one runs smoothly! It's also a new model too so a gen 2 pump and controller that didn't have the same issues I've just picked up and setup the R8i and I'm in love already haha already formed it's foam and is getting there lol it's also a match made in heaven as it fits perfectly with very little wiggle room
