I'm trying....did this work?

[scbadiver]

WOW, THats the first time I got it to work. I'm hoping to meet up with this group. Thisa is my tank last week. I just finished to hood trim.

[trottman]

i do need sand............ nice pics

[DARKSILENTTYPE]

If you don't mind me asking what is that growing in your tank ?

[Letmegrow]

Caulerpa.

[ramtheory]

scbadiver nice looking tank and welcome to the group. Would like to see some close ups. Maybe start a thread about your system looks like you have spent some time from the looks of your gallery. awesome :thumbsup:

Dennis

[DARKSILENTTYPE]

I thought it was .I have been pulling mine out of the main tank and throwing it away .

[jwalters103]

if he ends up putting any tangs in there they will end up being the fattest on record

[trottman]

there is a yellow tang in there................ i think that tangs like softer algae though, dont they?

[JxMetal]

I've noticed that yellow tangs like softer algae.

If it was a hippo or one of the larger types of tangs I think it would eat that stuff right up.

[saltyunderground]

Here's a few more from a freind's new camera.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/Saltyunderground/DSC_0407E.jpg

[scbadiver]

Thanks. The stuff in the tank is Neomeris Annulata, or as I like to call it, "miserable green weedy crap" Tangs wont touch it. It's like halimeda, calcium based algae. here you can see it closer...
http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/11194new_TANG_W_1.jpg

I think I have to pull out all the rock and clean it manually at this point. I'm always open to a better (easier) plan though. Hermits and crabs nibble at it, urchin breaks it loose but i just have TOO much growing TOO quickly. I spent about 2 years building eveything real custom and in the mean time the tank itself got away from me.

[dphins]

I doubt there is an easy way to rid your tank of all that algae.

[scbadiver]

Yeah, I let the calcium level drop to about 100ppm and it really started to decline but then so did the corals, snails, and eveything else. As soon as I brought the calcium back up it took off strong as ever. I can hardly keep my level above 300ppm due to all of the algae. I'm thinking a case of cold ones, a big bucket of saltwater, and a day with the scrub brush will slow it down dramatically.

[AIMFish]

Great looking tank scbadiver, what are the dimensions on that? For helping control your Neomeris I was going to suggest lowering calcium but you've tried that and can't keep it low do to other inhabitants :( Have you tried growing another type of algae for nutrient competition? If you did I would manually remove as much of the Neomeris as possible so the new algae has an easier start.

[JxMetal]

I see some caulerpa behind it, so I guess that nutrient battle isn't being won either.

[scbadiver]

Thank you. Tank is 96x24x24. I have about a 60 gallon fuge in the basement that I try to grow "good" stuff in. I can hardly get the caulerpa to grow though. I have tried different lighting, adding iron, adding/reducing current and nothing as really helped. I think there is just too much stuff so thats why I'm thinking about pulling the rock out and cleaning it. Believe it or not, that stuff is so tough you can pick up(or completely knock over) rocks just by pulling on 3-4 stalks!

[jwalters103]

have you tried the seagrass and macroalgae forum? someone there might be a little more familiar and be able to help you get rid of it

[DARKSILENTTYPE]

Here is my tank its in a three shot

All very nice shots!! I am jealous.

Dave:)

[capncapo]

Lookin' good John!

When you going to add some rock?:D

[kentrob11]

Does it matter what kind of pics? Here's one from the last SLASH after hours party- I think that's Chadfarmer under there...


[violation]

[fade32]

That is 300# to 400 I have around 300 more in the sump and I bought 100# of uncured rock ( I will never due that again ) in the garage because it stinks sooooo bad. All in all I think around 700 to 800# give or take.

[kentrob11]

You talkin about rock or the chick on top of chad?

[fade32]

Your not right Kent I was talking about the rock in my tank. I know now that you got rid of your tank your chasing your other hobbie ( whale hunting ) you dont have to bring us into it. LOL

[Nanook]

Looks like plenty of rock to me! I plan on using 350lbs in each tank...I want room for coral growth.

:)

[kentrob11]

butter em up and give em to me slopppppy! Don't act like you don't remember what we talked about before- The hot and fatties will never see us coming!

:lol:

[kentrob11]

hey john- put a couple of peaks and a ledge in there- Cover the peaks with different color stags (micropthalma/slimer/baby blue) to let some light through- It'll be sweet

[Spiffyguy]

Showdown between the shrimp and crab over a piece of nori. crab won.

[fade32]

I think I'm going to have a slash scaping party.

[Arsenal11]

Just giving you a hard time........it IS looking good. I'll have to come by and see it.

[fade32]

You know where I live.

[ramtheory]

That is a pretty cool picture Spiffy. By the time I would find my camera to take something like that the crab and shrimp would be gone.

Here's one. ;)

[ramtheory]

Hey Tom that would be an easy costume to pull off. Then you wouldn't have to wear them boots. You need to wear your wig at the next get together. :thumbsup:

[Goalie66]

Hmmm, good idea! But there is no sewing involved.
Of course that would be my Paul Stanley wig not Ace's

[ramtheory]

:lol: you have it already figured out don't ya!

[Goalie66]

See! This was me 2004 Halloween. (presewing days) :rollface:

Remeber no flaming. :lol:

[sirreal63]

LOL...that is great!!! Won't take much work with that wig. it is a wig isn't it?

[Goalie66]

I'm like one of them old dolls, you can pull on my hair to make it longer and then to make it shorter again you just pull on my.......
oops don't want to get banned. :)

Man that pic was 20Lbs ago. (I've lost that much not gained)

[ramtheory]

I'll bring all the costumes!:strooper:

[Spiffyguy]

ramtheory I keep the camera and vidoe camera close by to the tank for that very reason. I have trained my inverts well too. When I feed the crab he comes out of his hole and sits there. even if I remove the tongs and even mess with the tank he just sits there. KNida nice. The shrimp has no fear either. She came to the glass this morning while feeding and fanned her swimmers right in front allowing me to inspect her eggs. pretty cool stuff.

[kentrob11]

God Tom that's frikin hilarious!

[Mykayel]

I'll play along:
http://web.umr.edu/~mlubiews/corals/full-tank-3-06.jpg

[ramtheory]

Nice looking hammer Mykayel :thumbsup: got a close up?

[Mykayel]

I made a trip down past springfield last weekend to get it, its a brighter green in person but I can't seem to capture that in a picture.
http://web.umr.edu/~mlubiews/corals/hammer2.jpg

[ramtheory]

Looks like a wall hammer and a nice one good color. Doesn't even look like there is a sign of receding. From the person in Carthaga correct?

[Mykayel]

Correct on both, form the guy in Carthage who had a great tank, and it is a wall type. Do you have any good tips on keeping it in good health, you make is sound as if they are difficult to keep.

[kentrob11]

How bout a moonlight shot:

http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/8543image1.jpg

[ramtheory]

It is hard to find a good specimen that is not receding thats all. I have had mine for a while and having good luck with it. Good lighting and water quality just like anything else and I target feed near the mouths with mysis. Not difficult to keep just pointing out the good score.


Thats an awesome pic Kent! What are you using for moonlight?

[spongebobby]

here are mine

Thanks Dennis- Actually it's not a moonlight pics- Just a normal actinic. It looks like some of the moonlight pics I've seen so I figured I'd label it as such :-P

OK, since I pruned caulerpa Thurs and Friday, everything was p.o.'d at me for a couple days. A couple things aren't quite happy but I pulled out the camera and took some. Gonna swamp the thread.
