F&Fmgr August 30, 2010 August 30, 2010 those yellow things look like parazoanthus(yellow daisy zoos)....tough as nails, kalk 'em if you dont want them
Origami August 30, 2010 August 30, 2010 Things are coming along nicely, I see. It's hard to tell (because of the focus), but the brown things you're looking to identify may be Aiptasia - a nuisance anemone. It could also be some sort of feather duster. Look up pictures of each or, if you're able, get a clearer picture to post.
Jon Lazar August 30, 2010 August 30, 2010 Based on their tiny size and general appearance, I'd guess they're a nuisance hydroid. Not the worst pest ever, but tough to get rid of. Jon I bought some big pieces of LR (priced really well) and once I got them home and dropped them in the tank I discovered little growths (dare I say polyps) coming out into the light! Check it out and help me identify please... What are these?
dcreefer May 2, 2011 Author May 2, 2011 Well it has been a long while since I have updated my thread so
zoozilla May 2, 2011 May 2, 2011 -My Reeflo Orca Protein Skimmer (aptly named the Beast) broke and remained that way for about two semesters
dcreefer May 2, 2011 Author May 2, 2011 Hey Dan, I used a piece of vinyl tubing and pvc glue to couple the shut off valve to the skimmer housing. Wasn't a hard fix but between school, family and work...I just could not get a momment to really go for it. I fixed it about a week ago. If the tubing fix starts to fail, I am going to drill the actual case/housing of the skimmer and add a bulkhead. (I may actually do that anyway over the summer.) I'll take pics Thanks for your ideas! What are you using for a skimmer now?
dcreefer May 2, 2011 Author May 2, 2011 A couple of pics... Recently added a Unicorn Tang...Thanks Renee!!! And a Video! [url=http://s698.photobucket.com/albums/vv343/dcreefer/?action=view
dcreefer May 2, 2011 Author May 2, 2011 This is a video under the old lights... The old lights were great, but they were nearly $100 a bulb (x 4) and they needed to be changed at least twice a year (really every 3 to 4 months). The new bubls are the $13 ones and they seem to be doing pretty good by the livestock. I have mixed the 14K and the 20K but, I will be going to all 20K soon.
dcreefer October 9, 2012 Author October 9, 2012 After acquiring a pretty good amount of new rock from Brian Ward (thanks B), I am in the midst of a restructure! Here is a video of the "tang topia". I added a new purple tang and the whole crew seems to be getting along. The "Needs"list: Air, Water and Ice Neptune (my current RO/DI just cannot produce water fast enough) New Large Custom Sump with huge grow out refugium (need more room for growing red gracilaria) Ozotech Poseidon 200 Kit The Wishlist: Dialyseas (any model) Remote 250g sump
dcreefer February 12, 2015 Author February 12, 2015 Last video before we sold and gave away the fish and broke it down.
dcreefer March 7, 2016 Author March 7, 2016 Closure...we moved and the new home owners did not want a reef tank in their home... So tank has been removed... and sold. It is currently being used as a grow out tank for big belly seahorses! Seahorseconservancy I am in the process of building a new tank... Check it out! Happiness 2.0 "The Happiness Awakens"
