oh207 65g Tank Thread

Updated FTS. The Blue Anthelia is completely gone and so is the green hairy mushrooms. I didn't do anything to get rid of the Blue Anthelias, they just die away on thier own. I hope they never come back. For the Green hairy mushrooms, I inject AiptasiaX into every mushroom and ripped out most my hand. They smelled awful. :dead1:

Looks great, I'd love to know why the Anthelia died, did you lower nutrients or something?

Thank you both!

I'm not sure why or how they died. I did pull a lot out manually. I also stopped dosing Iodine. I had read somewhere that the Anthelias likes Iodine to grow.
Nutrients input and export is pretty much the same. Although I did started using NoPox about a year ago. Autofeeder feeds pellets 2x a day. And 2-3 days a week I add LRS Frenzy for a third course. And I do 20g water change monthly.

Video Update, July

I've been battling GHA in the DT. Its slowly receding, however the birdsnest on the left took a hit. Most of the lower part of the colony was overcome with GHA and it became very brittle. So every time I try to pull the GHA out, it would break off a huge part of the colony.
Its a pain to look at right now. When I have the time, I plan to break it all out and make some frags and start over in the same location.

Also, the GBTA split and decided to walk over the pollicipora colony! Super mad!!! :supermad:

It also appears as if one of the female anthias is turning. The other male is not happy. He spends most of his time either chasing the soon to be male into the corner, or ****-blocking the female. Its really fun to watch (not always), you can see his antics in the video.

New Toys

Got a couple of new toys to play with last weekend.
Radion Gen4 Pro and Apogee SQ-520 Par Sensor. :biggrin:

Gen3 Pro Par Levels

Gen3 Pro Par Levels at 65%. I think I need to bump the settings up a bit. I just got a pair of the Wide Angle TIR Lens, so I plan to take new PAR measurements after I install the lens.

Picked up these guys during the Labor Day sale last month and put them through 2 rounds of prazipro and have been in hyposalinity for the past 4 weeks.

The foxface will be going into my 65g. The others are heading into a 120g.

Tank has been on cruise control. Haven't touch it at all or added any new corals or livestock. I need to get a CUC soon.
I do at least a 10-20g water change monthly and change out carbon/gfo at the same time.

Mr. Green chowing down on fresh clam. Of course, he never touched any of the aiptasia in the tank.
