Korallen Zucht, makers of Zeovit, came out with Coral Snow not too long ago. Given the reported effects we thought we would give it a try. Here’s what Pohl and KZ have to say about the product:
“Coral Snow is a liquid form secondary biological facilitator for elements such as Bbalance and Potassium-Iodide/Flouride Concentrate. It is also […]
Here are a few photos showing before and after a large fragging of our Montipora capricornis. It just grew too large and took up too much real estate in the tank. If you’re local we have plenty of free frags available.
This full tank shot is from a few weeks back. Since then we have removed […]
The tank is finally beginning to stabilize and nutrients are continuing to drop. I attribute most of it to the fine tuning of the dosing and the break in of our skimmer. With these changes corals are really growing well again, particularly our A.tortuosa.
For awhile the DAS was not removing much, and our clean-compulsive nature […]
Here’s a photo we took today… they thought they were deserving of some more food, and we obliged. The male clown didn’t make it in, but all the rest are there.
Unfortunately Marie, the C.Collare, did not make it. She passed overnight a few days ago. We were somewhat surprised as she started eating well, but […]
Update: Due to algae growth we have alternated fuel and vibrance in conjunction with Coral Snow. 3ml CS+3ml Fuel every other day, with 3ml CS+2 drops Vibrance in between. When adding the fuel, we get a green dusting on the glass in less than an hour…but it is coloring up the corals nicely. We’ve also […]
Update: So far the fish are doing well. Marie, the C. Collare has a little lympho. She does have me alittle concerned because she only picks at a few cyclopeeze throughout the day…but she is constantly grazing on polyps and LR. We contacted LiveAquaria and they could not tell us what foods she was eating. […]
We ordered these two today from Liveaquaria’s Diver’s Den. They should arrive Tuesday!Update: They have arrived and are eating. In the first 5 seconds of being introduced the Collare took a taste of a Montipora and Acropora… She’s beautiful though and we will definitely be keeping her. The Declivis is doing well, but may have […]
We got the the skimmer hooked up last night and so far are impressed. It is still breaking in, but has pulled out a little skimmate. We knew we had to have a skimmer stand to elevate the standpipe output over the edge of the sump. To solve this we found this nice handmade bamboo tray. […]
We’ve been skimmerless since Friday after selling our Deltec MCE600. We purchased the new skimmer weeks ago, and thought it was arriving the week we sold the Deltec…but the vendor had to wait for a part so the shipment was delayed. The tank has actually done extremely well without one.
Anyway here’s some pics. It’s a […]
We saw our Copperband (who has been named Jack) eating at the LFS… but he didn’t take much interest in any food in our aquarium. After wiping out or feather dusters I knew we needed to get him on prepared foods before he went on a real hunger strike. We got some live bloodworms to […]
We stopped by our LFS here in the city (Oldtown Aquarium) and found two specimens we couldn’t leave without purchasing. Here are our new Chelmon rostratus and Periclimenes brevicarpalis. The coloration on the Copperband is very vivid and the width of the actual bands is just right. As soon as we saw it we knew there […]
Here are some photos from today. Our point and shoot also has a difficult time with the intensity of the light, we’ll try and get better pics up asap. The corals are all a bit dull from the front from the change in lighting angle, but they will color up with time. We added the second metal […]
