They were supposedly intended as barn/shed cats to control field mice from my property, but now house cats and 8 meals/day + clean up nightly chores. Can't win with the wife and kids. .

flooddc December 6, 2021 Author Share December 6, 2021 (edited) Hello It has been quite a while. Browsing around but not much activity. Anyway, has a bumpy road in the last 2 years. Finally was able to take procession of my rental property back a few weeks ago. Now working with insurance (a pain) to get the house back together. Not getting into detail, but non payment for 2 years and great deal of damages to property! well, tanks has some set back but I was able to continue the hobby nonetheless. Currently battling green cyano. I replaced my rodi filters and has been keeping up with water changes and appears to have improved a bit. I am thinking of selling off some of the corals to simplify my tanks. overall, I think I handled everything well so far.

flooddc April 1, 2022 Author Share April 1, 2022 Well! Finally getting some breathing space back. After many months of repairs and it now on the market. as for my reef tanks, I took a chance with chemiclean several months ago and got rid of the green cyano algae. only one torch colony and purple sponge was affected. I supposed they like algae water! The darn heliopora (aka blue coral) is taking over and suffocating any corals on it's path. I guess, a partial or total breakdown is needed to get rid if it. Or perhaps, let it be and have a tank of fish/heliopra only tank Here is the recent photos of my tank after water change and cleaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roni April 2, 2022 Share April 2, 2022 Sorry about your rental property issues... It certainly sounds trying and it's a reminder how hard "passive" investing can be at times! Your tank looks great! Would love to see some close ups when you get time. Are there some clowns in "jail" in one pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there some clowns in "jail" in one pic? Thanks! lesson learned with rental property especially in Montgomery county, MD. Was originally planned to downgrade to the rental property once retired, but things took for the worst. Will definitely never rent again for sure. The pair of clownfish in the cage belongs to the a friend on WAMAS that recently moved. I am holding them until he get his tank backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your rental situation. That was our worst nightmare when we had a rental. We ended up selling it last year while the price was high. It's a lot of pressure off our shoulder.

flooddc May 11, 2022 Author Share May 11, 2022 Since the heliopora has been growing out of control and suffocating corals, I have been thinking about doing an upgrade and get rid of the heliopora all together. So I have sold off some of my euphylia colonies in prep for the upgrade. My original plan was to get two 5 footer tanks to put in place of my 210 and 100 nems tank. After many back and forth thought, I decided not to proceed with the upgrade since it going to take a lot of time and hard labor. My new plan is to attack the heliopora issues one section at a time. I had some spare time tonight and dive right in. I removed some colonies into my sump and attack the heliopora. Pull some rocks along with it and trimmed as much as I could. Got a basket full of heliopora just from one section of the tank. Looking promising this far. Will have to move to the next section when I get a chance. Will update my progress. Thanks for reading ?.
