I bet I have you all beat on animals. We have 3 horses, 1 sheep, 2 goats, 5 dogs, 6 cats, 1 rat, 3 guinea pigs, 3 birds, 1 bearded dragon, 2 fw tanks, 1 brackish tank, 1 sw tank and a partridge in a pear tree.
When I fragged my I used bone cutters, but you could use any type of heavy duty cutters and just cut down low where the heads split, nowhere near the meat of the heads though.
Kinda funny, I have a coral beauty that doesnt touch my xenia at all. I have tons of it my tank to. I really need to frag it. Also to answer your question xenia attaches to just about anything. if you put it near the glass it will attach to it all by itself. Mine did anyways.
I have my 75 gallon set up like the second pic with 2 koralia 3's and it is plenty of flow for me, so the #2's would probably do good for you. I also like the flow going off the front of the tank.
I would guess while moving the tank you stirred up the sand bed or something of that nature. It is the amonia that is killing your fish, they are very sensitive to it. I dont know that there is much that you can do since your tank sounds like it is going though a mini cycle. Bring the fish to...
It would work fine but +1 on making sure there is plenty of left over space in there in case of a power outage. When I set up my sump I cut all power to the return pump to make sure that it could hold all the excess water from my overflow.
is it already wet sand with saltwater and bacteria in it? If so then do not wash it. When I added dry sand to my tank I washed it because it gets alot of the silt out and your tank will not could up as much.
Question??? Now I have a huge colt coral that I need to frag. If i cut off an arm and stuck a toothpick thought the bottom, could I just rubberband the toothpick to a piece of rubble untill the foot of the frag attaches instead of doing the whole rubbermaid thing? Any help will be great. I have...
dont worry weather you like it or not, you wll have more xenia then you can shake a stick at. I started with 2 small frags 6 months ago and now 1/4 of my 75 gallon tank is xenia (i need to frag it.) Ive even had tank mistakes where I killed my xenia down to the stumps, but it grows back like a...
You can frag the heck out of it. How big is it? Any pieces you cut off of it, just use fish line to tie it onto a piece of rock and it will heal and grow. Any questions about it pm me and ill let you know how to do it.
What you could do to make things much easier for you and there is no setup is get a hang on the tank refugium. For a fowler tank you dont need a sump though. I like having one because I can put my protine skimmer and heaters in it.
Ive had mine for about a year and a half. No special feeding or anything. I do kent phytoplex in my tank a few times a week for all my filter feeders and that might help Im not sure. My coco worm has grown a few inches since ive got him too, I can tell because the top part of the tube is bright...
I know, it is honestly going to take me a few hours to frag all that xenia, let alone the colt coral that now takes over almost a quarter of my 75 gallon. Hopefully the lfs is in the frag buying mood.
