Marinne's 65G LPS tank

[Marinne13]

just an update...both the clowns are eating very well, I have been adding bio-viv garlic to their Mysis and rods food

also, I do have 825GPH of flow in my tank as of right now which is turning my tank over 27 times an hour...think I finally have a flow pattern that I actually like in a tank, everything is moving in the flow but not getting blasted except for the flowerpot which does like a little blasting

Man I LOVE my Picasso clowns...just gorgeous, also picked up a Cardinal yesterday and he loves hanging with the clowns

they are not aggressive towards each other which is awesome but the Cardinal won't eat anything I have offered yet...Mysis shrimp, new life spectrum pellets, spirulina brine shrimp and rods food...he sucks it in then keeps spitting it out yet every time I look in the tank he is eating something out of the water?? pods I am guessing just weird

I think cardinals and clowns usually hang out together from what I've seen. Kinda odd.

Maybe is eating pods my clowns do that sometimes and I have pods in my tank.

 

[Marinne13]

I am pretty sure that's what he is eating but wish he would eat frozen food

Keep trying with the frozen food if one doesn't work try a different one, my fish doesn't like some frozen food like mysis shrimp or spirulina formula, but they love formula one and a little bit Rodd's.

I soaked some Rods in garlic and amino acids, he ate a couple pieces

FTS...sorry my camera is not taking good pictures for some reason, keeps being blurry from the LED fixture

 

[Sakura2282]

The tank looks really good! :)

 

[Marinne13]

thanks, all my corals are doing great!! water parameters are staying consistent so it's been awesome

doing some more coral shopping this weekend

 

[AnthonyTheNewbie]

Sweet, and garlic is always a good choice for enticing fish :)

 

[Marinne13]

just ordered 9 frags from woos aquatics on ebay...have to say their prices are awesome

 

[Marinne13]

Oh and here is my new Golden Sailfin Blenny I got from DD...LOVE LOVE LOVE him

 

[MitchReef]

I have a regular sailfin but my real goofy fish is my Midas Blennie.....

 

[Marinne13]

I thought about a midas but thought this guy was too cute

 

[MitchReef]

a Midas would get pretty big for that tank. Mine is about 5 inches long already.

Love the Blennny. :thumbsup:

So I noticed today some slimy looking stringy algae...WTF!!!!

It stays at night though and snails are eating it/not dying...it is also only on some rocks, mostly my dry rock

I do weekly water changes, run GFO, run a protein skimmer, use RODI water and feed every other day with frozen food...Dino's or something else?

 

[Marinne13]

man I just can't catch a break, fist my tank had flesh eating Isopods and now all of a sudden I have Dino's even though I am doing everything right

not over feeding, running a skimmer, running GFO and carbon, using LED's, brand new RO filters, weekly 10% changes, dipping all of my corals, around 900GPH flow

WHY ME!!!! this is so much BS, why do people who use Tap water with no skimmer never have these issues and great looking tanks

I can't nuke this tank as I have way too much money invested, trying a blackout to see if it works and no WC's...just put brand new GFO and carbon in

and I ordered new frags :cry::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
