A super-pygmy lightning plesiosaur......I think u may be on to something! I think eating algae and pooping trace elements might be a little TOO much to hope for, one should always try to keep their dreams somewhat reasonable, otherwise they’re just setting themselves up to be let down!

I’ve seen it mentioned, but nothing about why, or what to do! My little guy seems as healthy as ever, but his lights seem to be almost out. They REFLECT light pretty well, which I can tell cause he leaves them uncovered a lot now, at least around feeding time, but Ive recently noticed how dim they’ve been getting, and now possibly out. It’s in my QT tank still, and I’ve never introduced any medications since the tank was set up for him, but I’m sure there’s residual copper in the rocks and everything. I didn’t think of copper as a big anti-bacterial agent! Is it? His lights didn’t start diminishing for many weeks.

Lol a plesiosaur? Well, overlooking that they’ve been extinct for like 66 million years, and I’m quite sure you don’t have anywhere near a large enough tank, then you might be able to get away with it, depending on your reef. they’d probably be fine with corals, and any reef tank sized inverts, but they WOULD eat all fish of significant size.

Thankfully, the day I was going to take a monti home, monti nudis appeared and started to damage, and lay eggs on it. I’ve seen plenty on dipping the montis, and how often, but nothing mentioning how long to continue the treating. How long should the treating continue?

Lol

Oh geez, I’m so sorry! I thought made this thread on a fossil forum!!!!! Lol

I don’t know what it actually IS, but someone called it an “appendate bone”, although I don’t know if that even exists, after trying to search for it. It’s apparently part of the appendage, I guess. Here it is. i dont recognize it, but it gives me an impression of the neck area, or tail.
-
What’s an appendate bone? I don’t see anything like an apparent appendate bone in the plesiosaur appendage. What is it/where is it?

I was just wondering about the chart. I still find it pretty confusing, but I think I have a VERY general handle on it, but one thing that’s come up by me and a friend I was showing the chart to, is that filimentous/filament wrasse, as far as we’re familiar with, are pretty passive, and not aggressive at all, but I THINK the chart is saying that they are among the most aggressive of flashers . IS that what the chart is saying? Does that seem off to anyone else? I have very limited flasher/fairy wrasse experience, probably only dealing with half a dozen+ types or so, of what I believe many are the most common ones(lubbocks, filament, mccoskers, carpenters, blue/cyaneus, angular(?), solar, and yellow fin), but only of any significance with that first half, and I’ve never noticed any aggression, even towards others, through glass. I think there’s a good chance I’m misunderstanding the chart, though.
-
Yeah, I’ve got the ol’ standard all-glass aquariums. I’m not the handiest person around. I actually can do quite a bit, but it always looks like someone rushed and improvised, and made changes in the middle of making it..........because I DID! Lol
-
Thanks very much! Looks promising! And SO much better than me trying to put one together!!!
-
Oh awesome, thank you SO much!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Does anyone actually sell reef tank covers? Screen type, not glass. I’m assuming id have to make something, cause there’s too many variables with things around the rim, so would anyone happen to have any good and simple solutions. Something to clip on the sides that sticks up like a wall, would work too. Overall that sounds easier to do, except for the clip part.
-
I can’t find it anywhere, so maybe it got deleted, or too old? I don’t know, but it’s not showing up in my activity, but i know I had a thread before asking about mixing fairy and flasher wrasse. Someone posted an awesome diagram specifically about that, with boxes of species that go together, versus what doesn’t. Does anyone happen to have that chart?
-
Lol true, if u can get to the rock!
-
I’m familiar with goniopora having been one of those corals that’s best avoided by most people, but ive been under the impression that, among lots of “best avoided” fish and inverts of the past, that gonios were much more sturdy and hardy these days. Are they actually better than before, or are they still one of those things that’s at best, on borrowed time in a tank, and might be good for 4, 5, 6months, and then start to waste away? If so, is it known what the specific and unmet differences that have caused them to die off when everything else is doing fantastic? Do they absolutely have to be fed in order to survive long-term?
-
Not that I remember. However, if it was spooked, it would get itself between rocks and extend it dorsal spine to jam itself in. A defensive maneuver, I suppose. No harm, though. Yeah, I could see that becoming an issue in unusual circumstances, and taking apart part of the rock work in a reef would be quite an annoyance, as opposed to a FOWLR. I’d just have to make sure I get one soon, before I have to strip tanks down to move them, that way if it’s not working out I’ll ALREADY be taking down the rock work, and won’t have to do it separately just to get it out! Lol
-
Awesome, thats good to hear! Did it ever move rocks around?
-
I’ve always heard sargassum triggers are generally reef safe. I don’t know if that includes shrimp and stuff, or what...or even how accurate that is. Does anyone know?
-
Does anyone have any experience with flashlight fish care? I’m especially interested in treatments. Bioluminescent things like flashlights and pinecone fish can’t take many normal meds, so I’d like to find out any info that could help in those circumstance. These are also both delicate fish, so that also makes the med situation more difficult. I’m not aware of ANY meds that pinecones can safely take. Of course nothing antibacterial. I’ve heard it’s a good idea to treat all new flashlight fish with prazipro, so I guess flashlights can handle that, but that’s the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
-
You’re really selling me on these reefLEDS!!!
-
On illuminas? I started watching a couple videos back before I got it, but it didn’t take long for them to lose me lol. I’ll take a look again tho. It’ll take a miracle for me to stick with it, though. GOSKN5 is really getting me hyped up on those reefLEDs! Lol
-
Thanks so much!!! I just joined there and posted on the thread
-
Awesome, that’s what I like to hear:) I’m guessing you have the 90s, for your 180gallon right? I’m thinking the 90s would be too much for my 55, or 75 when I switch over, and that I should go with the 50s, if I do go with these reefLEDS, right?
-
Does anyone know anything about the fixtures I mentioned? If anyone has had first hand experience, are they actually good fixtures, or is my experience the norm. They both work the same way as far as what i don’t like about them, so I’d imagine that’s not just a crazy coincidental problem that both just happen to have.
