Everyone has so much fun reading about the antics of my creatures in my nanoreef blog that I thought they deserved their own Facebook page which is a bit more interactive.

I think I’ve finally gotten the hang of feeding the sun corals. Because I’m still nursing a gravely ill rescue dog I have plenty of syringe-type applicators which I’m now using to target feed the sun coral. I ca...
I did the usual tank maintenance today, except it was more like a 1.5 gallon water change in the main tank...
No long rambling post from me today, just short and to the point. Did the usual water change, actually close to 1.5 gal. Didn’t change water in picoreef, but it looks good since I put in a new filter and did water change when I moved the sun coral to the mini-reef. May do 1 [...]
Got up early this morning, did the usual water change and maintenance in the mini-reef, then began the acclimation process to move the sun coral from the “quarantine” picoreef where it was languishing to the 29 gallon mini-reef. Se...
Sea Creatures And Me Move the sun coral into the mini-reef and it's already opened up to feed! Looks great!
I thought things were going well in the picoreef; the film stopped covering the substrate a some days ago, though there’s still some in the tank, the coral was opening up every night and feeding, then I get up Tuesday morning and find this: There was a thin film over the affected polyp, the same s...
Sea Creatures And Me Worried about the sun coral...
On the weekend before my birthday (Sept. 28th) I got a sun coral which had a tiny rock chip stuck to the base. On it was my very first Aiptasia hitchhikers. I detached the chip and placed it in a Spice Islands spice jar. On Monday, the 28th, I fed it two drops of microvert. [...]
I’d planned on doing a water change and the cyano treatment yesterday, but when I got up there was a fresh shrimp molt in the tank and I didn’t think it’d be good to add anything so soon after a molt. I’m assuming it was Kalimba who molted because I’d assumed it was Tam last [...]
Oh gee, I wrote this on my BlackBerry yesterday, but never got around to sending it. I’m not going to rewrite all the “todays” and “yesterdays” in these notes. Set your mental clock back one day while reading. The only thing I have to add is that the sun coral is still closed, I didn’t [...]
Sea Creatures And Me Sun Coral still in quarantine. Picoreef is getting trashed from me feeding it, so lot of water changes. I'll be glad when I can move it to the mini-reef.
Well, things are much better in the reef these days. I’ve fallen behind logging changes, so I hope I get the run of things right. The day before yesterday the skimmer started working mostly normally again. ...
Today is my birthday and as promised in the previous post, here are some pics of the sun coral my husband got me as a present. It—along with the two new snails and new macroalgae sprig– is residing in the picoreef right now. Which, as I discovered this morning, turned out to be a wise [...]
Oh, boy, the past few days have been interesting. In a nutshell: the cyano treatment now appears to be working, the skimmer is freaked out and so is Kyo who is hiding, but still eating. If that weren’t enough I got new creatures today. First things first: the day of the 48 hour second dose of [...]
The title say it all. I checked back to the post the first time I used the Red Slime remover and the stuff was gone when I got up the next morning. Well, it didn’t disappear overnight this time. In fact, despite the fact that there’s very little slime in the tank this time (and [...]
