Coraline algae is removed easily using a credit card. Nice looking critters.

thanks all cleaned up and looking great!

[rayme07]

Your tank is coming along nicely, and you have some great looking corals too!!!

[Amphibious]

Where’s the new pics??? We need pics!

[reefbeginer]

ok i will soon as my camra wants to work. it refuses to focus so if i did give yall pictures theyd look like blobs. haha ill mess around with it tonight to see if it will focus. id did manage to get a decent fts.the first one is before cleaning the second is after. i still need to get some areas but my hands to big to slip in there with the crdit card.

[SaltyDawg]

Looks good. What a difference a cleaning makes. I have the same problem getting my hands in those places as well. If you are as cheap as I am, this is what I did to make a scraper. All you need is a thin piece of scrap wood...cut an angle on the end...attach with a couple small screws.


Works like a charm. I have a glass tank so I use a razorblade but you could use a piece of an old card and yours wont rust.lol

[CarmieJo]

I think your tank is coming along nicely. I use a plastic spoon to clean the rounded corners of my nano.

[reefbeginer]

ill definatley be trying the sppon thing. and if i find time to make one i will definatley make my own scraper. my coral beauty likes to nip at the coraline algae so i might try and leave a little snack for him on the glass so he doesnt take it off my rock or back of the tank.

That is great! Keep up the good work!

If you have an acrylic tank please do not use a razor blade to scrape your tank.

And congrats on your frogspawn splitting

[reefbeginer]

it is glass. and im kinda getting mad because my snails keep knocking corals over.

[Rostr02]

Why don't you try some underwater epoxy and glue them to your rocks?

[reefbeginer]

i will do that. if my reef store has any. or where can i find some? like home depot or something.

[CarmieJo]

There are some that you can get at Home Depot like Aquamend that I have heard are reef safe.

[reefbeginer]

ok. im gunaa try and make a trip to our reef store today. ill see if they have any if not then ill go to home deopt.

[reefbeginer]

in the fts you can see my coral beauty and clownfish(who needs a friend...soon) and my recent fish is an ocellated dragonet. )) i love him he is hideing right now but when i can get a pic i will add it!!

[SaltyDawg]

If memory serves me right...some coral beautys are known for nipping at corals and I think that your tank size is the absolute minimum. Territorial disputes may be a concerne. Keep an eye on them and keep us posted. Really pretty fish. I'd like to have one myself.

[reefbeginer]

he only niped at my gsp and him and my clown love to hang out they just follow eachother around. not in like a chasing manner but like cool calm and collected. they like eachother. he hasnt niped at anything ive had in the except the gsp.

[reefbeginer]

im sacred there will not be enough copeopods for my dragonet. can i ween him off of live food and try to get him to eat frozen? if so how would i do that?

[CarmieJo]

Many or perhaps even most never switch to prepared food. They will starve to death unless they are in a big tank with a lot of LR or you supplement pods.

[reefbeginer]

ok yeah i searched online yesterday for pods to buy im going to check my reef to store to check prices but i will be starting to breed i guess u would say copepods to supplement with.

[reefbeginer]

you can see the extended part of the frogspawn is the part thats spliting. and i got the best pic i could get of my new fish but hes still camra shy.

[Rostr02]

Good pics, congrats on the frogspawn splitting mine is going through a split of its own.
