Glad it all worked out as well. People would be surprised at what we do for our tanks (aka: Turkey baster for water circ.)! When our power went out, couldnt find the baster, so I was using a straw to blow bubbles in the water. Yeahhhhhhh, cannot credit that to anything surviving! We bought...
This is a great time to get generators around here, which is not far from you. Everyone one bought them for their outages of 2 weeks, and then returned them back to the home depots, or private selling. You could most likely find a good deal! Glad to hear it will only be a few hours. That...
Have you tried calling your electric company to find out why the power is out and get an estimation on how long? That might help you better prepare. I lost power in December during that huge icestorm. My tank went about 36 hours without power. Our generator (bought specifically for my tank)...
I agree, it looks like it is still adjusting. I personally would lean it up so that the top is not sitting in the sand. It may take it a few days or even a week or so for it to come around. You may notice that it has a thin clear skin that will shed off of it. This is commen for leathers to...
I would make sure your house is warm tonight to help keep the temp in the tank from dropping too low tonight. I would highly recommend getting a heater tomorrow. Everthing should be fine until tomorrow morning. If your house is 70, your tank should stay close to that same temp. A bit cooler...
Oh man, the idea of that happing frightens me. I have been lucky as of yet with our big party ragers. Most likey because they all know they would be very badly injured if caught!! You dont want to suffer the wrathe of Jaime!
Have you had your bulbs long? I like the coloration on your tank, and your coral certainly seems extremely happy! What type of ATI, geisman are they, ie: actinic, midday, aquablue, ect??? Thanks!
Such a beautiful tank, NYCBob. I know you have mentioned before that you use t-5 lighting. What brand fixture are you using? I'm also curious what kind of bulbs. My Nova Pro fixture is just turning a year old, so I will need new bulbs most likely by this summer. Trying to plan (aka budget) now!
In the second pic its the white behind the anem foot. Just looks different in the photos with the flash vs. non-flash. I will start an ammonia test now. I need to test params tonight anyway, did a water change about an hour and half ago.
I am wondering if one of my anemones is splitting. The seven anems are all on one rock. I have one that attached on a rock just below, the anem head is up where all the others are. Under that rock next to where the foot is, I can see tissue like stuff on the underside of the rock. Its a bit...
