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 did the usual weekly maintainance in all tanks. Fed Kyo before doing the water change because he only ate half the usual amount for breakfast, so a snack was in order...
Sometimes it’s necessary to spend some real time maintaining the reef tank. This morning I had the time so I caught up with algae removal, both micro and macro. Also, the cyano covering the Fiji rock appeared dead and I removed it as best I could. There’s only a few small thin patches on the [...]
I had to repeat the slime treatment 48 hours after initial treatment of the red slime remover. It still doesn’t look like it’s fading away very well, so I may have to do the week-after repeat. On the good news front, the sun corals are opening again and I’ve fed them every night for the [...]
The sun corals haven’t been opening up the past few days. I’m wondering if it’s because I really stuffed them with mysis before, or if there is something wrong. One thing that I know is wrong is that the cyano has spread a lot in the tank in the past week. It’s covered the Fiji [...]
One of the shrimp has molted again. This is what greeted me in the tank first thing this morning. Kind of a late Halloween decoration in the tank.
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 [...]
