Greg's 75g

[Nano]

Oh SNAP! I just saw this! Nice to finally have some little friends in there hey?

[Coralgurl]

Awesome new additions!

I've added some teeny chromis and black and white clowns to my 55, been feeding them Arcti pods, they seem to love it.

The office beer fridge freezer section is large enough to hold all 17 flats of food I have stock-piled

Just FYI but keep an eye on the frozen stuff as I also recruited a bar fridge for this. Turned out the freezer area wasn't cold enough to keep my food frozen as there is a small salt content in all of it. I'm back to walking upstairs...

Thanks for the warning
I've had to move the salt content foods already

[gregzz4]

I pulled the rock out that has the polyps on it as I see I'm already going to have to pluck what has spread

Here's the new critters

Lava and Aussi from apexifd
Great colors - crappy camera




And a bunch from Carrera75
Neon green candy cane



Red and Blue mushrooms



Green, Orange and Teal rics



Green with Pink hammer



Some palys



And finally, some GSP ( no, you didn't - yup, I did )
I'll keep it to the rock island



And a so-so FTS - no fruit stand here
I'll have to break out the tripod and turn off the blues next time
I'm seeing signs of the coralline spreading

I have tried similar suggestions in my tank to battle GHA. So far, I've got a mix of snails and hermits, Starry Blenny, 2 Tuxedo Urchins, and a Seahare. The only thing I'm missing is a "partridge in a pear tree." To top that, I'm also running RowaPhos passively.

The critters do a decent job mowing GHA down to a certain degree, however GHA always comes back. In my situation, I am suspecting PO4 leaching from my LR. I don't know if you'll be in the same boat with me Greg.

I am awaiting my last resort that is expected to arrive on Friday.....FozDown! I have heard great things about this product. It is even supposed to remove PO4 from LR, which in my case will solve my problem. I will keep you posted as soon as I receive some and start using it.

You and I were supposed to meet to trade some frags, or am I mistaken ........

[gregzz4]

Yup, I'd say I have PO4 leaching as I added some new LR last month that wasn't fully cured

No, you aren't mistaken. I've just started a new job this week and it is a huge learning curve for me, so I haven't had time to arrange anything. I made a frag for you of the ORA/MIMF Purple & Green Acro. Some people have called this a Garf Bonsai, Tricolor Valida, etc. It's about 1" tall, I'm waiting for it to heal a bit first.

I've got GHA issues in my DT that I'd prefer to get control of before cutting a piece of the ORA Purple Stylo, ORA Bird of Paradise, ORA Cali Tort. The GHA might grow over the fresh cut instead of healing first.

I've attached pictures from ORA in case you don't know what they look like.

Bird of Paradise

Those are very nice
I too would like to get my HA under control and before adding any more corals
PM me when you're ready and we'll talk
