Softies...

[Stigmatic]

im plumbing either a 20g or a 45g into my existing 120 which will be setup in the basement. I plan to use this to culture a lot of different zoos and shrooms, as well as any other softie that will flourish under PC lighting in a "slow flow" environment. I have quite a collection of different zoos and shrooms and would like to add to it if anyone is looking to trade rare softies.

Also... anyone around oshkosh that can drill a tank for me? :D

I have what I think are rare zoo's since I have yet to see them for sale anywhere yet.

Just glued a wandering polyp on a rock tonight :)

Two pics for you to see. The pics do them no justice im gonna take a macro of them this weekend.

I also have 20+ different types of zoos/palys that i will be taking more pictures of this weekend.

Nice, ill be fragging these pretty soon....

they used to be a light red under PC,s and turned out like this under my halides. They are call the purple people eater wannabes although the color scheme isnt the same. Ill br fraging one for the culture tank and another if you would like to trade.

The picture doesnt do justice since it is a few weeks old and these halides have change the outside to a nice looking velvet red color.

Done, lets trade :)

[Stigmatic]

Now all i need to do is get the tank drilled and setup first... lol

[z28cam]

Well come on get er done!!! :) :)

[Stigmatic]

Heres the plan.... I plan to lift the 20g up 1 foot, then plumb it into the 120 return line since that blueline 10 is more than enough for the return. Then have SOMEONE out there drill the 20 to have it gravity fed back into the sump. THe lighting on the 20 will be a coralife aqualight with 50/50 pc's

[Stigmatic]

Well here it is....

Its up and running, i decided not to plum it into the 120. It has a HOB red sea skimmer, and HOB filter to run lots of carbon for fragging.

Stigmatic - I interested to hear/see what kind of growth you get under the PC's! Please keep us posted and good luck!

[Stigmatic]

I am actually doing it for somewhat of an expiriment with that new Liquidlife food.

[z28cam]

Nice frags! As of right now im testing the Liquid Life food in the tank to see if it enhances any growth at all. Im not gonna holy my breath but when i add to the tank everything opens like crazy. Right now there isnt a whole lot in there, i have some Bright green and bright red zoos in there as well as some purple mushrooms.

What does the product claim to do?

[Stigmatic]

The product doesnt claim anything. Its a live mix containing rotifers, pavlova algae, and also contains cyclopeeze as well as many other nutirents. So far it has went over well with the softies in the tank, opening full moments after the feeding.

[z28cam]

ahh ic, sounds pretty good.

Just noticed post, maybe a bit late, but if you're in the area and still want your tank drilled, I'll be doing 3 40's this week. It only takes 20 minutes...

Nice Frag setup. By Liquid Life I take it you are not referring to all the St. Pauli Girl packaging I see. I have read a little on Liquid Life, but haven't tried it yet. Its ssupposed to be great for Acans and Blastos as well. Keep us informed of your progress. Maybe an update at this weekend's meeting at CBF??????
