Worm's 180 build

Amazing clarity. This is just with moonlights on? Between the snails, hermits, scarlets and bristle worm you should have a very clean sandbed

It was about 9pm I think. So the actinic were on. It has been very clean lately.

Are those tonga nassarius snails. And the crab needs Jenny Craig.

IDK if they are tonga, I did not see their passports.

They were declared as just Nassarius.

That 'MR Crab', I have had for a LONG time. He has been through quite a bit and is still kicking. If he wants to eat what is on the sand, have at it. As long as he stops stepping over the polyps, when I am trying to look at them. He keeps them clean I will give him that.

Nice vid. Did you feed them cyclopeeze or did your shrimp recently release babies...I could not tell what the little things floating were.

 

[worm5406]

It was cyclopeeze... LOL... You could pick it out huh? Little red dots.

I actually could see one the video was pretty clear around 1:23 before the second hermit comes into the picture .

You have eyes like a hawk. I had to watch it a few more times to see.

Wayne - I am like a little kid when he posts a video trying to see what cool things will be in it. Probably helps that I view them full screen on a 24" monitor...lol.

Worm, posted some week 1 for Reef Energy growth in my thread as you requested.

 

[worm5406]

OK so here is my week 1 energy growth, with questions.

Is it supposed to look that color after dosing?

This is during water change. I wanted to see the bubble pattern coming out of the mp40, as it was too close to the water level.

See how the bubble stay to the left of center. The other mp40 makes a NICE turbulent area right in the middle.

Water coming out.

 

[worm5406]

Look how spread it is and how big this LTA looks:

See it just to the right of center on the sandbed.

After adding supplements. WHAT IS UP WITH THIS COLOR? I did not have the blues running so I did not get the glow others reported.

Ignore the little bristle worm in the bottom center of the picture, he is my friend.

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Yea its pretty drab when you add it with the lights on.

 

[Sonicboom]

Little bristle worm!? Dude that thing is ridiculous..lol I don't care how beneficial they are that would be gone from my tank..lol

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Well worm should change his name to big worm.

Got shrimp today.

Here is how I do my shrimp:


Cut them up into little bits.

Put them into a freezer bag. Spread them out. Place in freezer to freeze, separated from others to make getting them out easier.

Why stop there? that for the nems?

Why stop there? that for the nems?

Was wondering the same. Pretty large pieces from the looks of it.

Day two pictures of red sea supplements.

I wish something was to scale in here to see how LARGE this guy/gal is. LOL

 

[worm5406]

Cell phone does not capture the PURE BEAUTY of this:

OK those are day two.. The last one was during actinic lights. Sorry.

I tried to use worm MANY years ago when all we had was AOL... But the name was taken. So I took their suggestion of worm5406 and stuck with it all these years, when you guys were still in diapers... LOL
