Joe Knows Reefs chalice Growout

[jerwin]

update time: I think we are starting to get some outward growth. We have some new eyes on some chalices. every body is eating well. Merlin does not seem to be as happy in the new spot I moved him to since last pics. Going to put him back in the orginal spot.

Atom bomb (2 eyes)

Rack city (7 eyes)

Merlin (1 big eye)

Firebella (3 eyes)

Cosmic wonderland ( 1 eyes but looks like something is happening at the very bottom edge. it is kind of orangy so could be another eyes forming)

Dynamite (2 eyes)

Flash bomb (2 eyes with another one forming on back side)

Well had a little trouble with the tank. I think I got some kind of bacteria infection in the tank but have treated the tank and seems to be doing better now. Everything is doing fine except for the Cosmic wonderland where I had a little recession on the rim. I believe he is ok and moved him into a lower flow area. I am waiting to see it come back. So we had that little set back. Everything else is doing just fine.

Wow. Hope everything is better now.

Jerwin, was wondering if you think some of the chalices could be shipped? What do you think about moving some of the guys to another grower's tank? That way we could minimize the risk in case something happens.

Its up to everyone. I believe that problem has under control. All the expensive ones are doing great. It is just the one in this growout. I believe i have resolved the issues. I have been watching everything very closely right now.

I just want to know how you treated the tank. I'd love to have a whole tank treatment please enlighten us


if I read incorrect am sorry

My vote is to leave them with Jerwin I doubt anyone in the group has the time and care he does!! He's a great grower and is doing exceptional and chalices are growing like crazy! Doing a great job Jerwin

Jerwin great job, can you please tell me a few things as I recently purchased my first chalice from WWC.

1. How often do you feed them?
2. How do you know they are feeding?
3. How much light are you giving them?

 

[jerwin]

Hi Chaetomorpha

I am feeding every other day. Well when I put the mix of food over their mouth you can see them pull the food in their mouth and it disappears. I keep the chalices at the bottom of the tank. Most are in very low light and low flow. If you have any other PM them to me.

I agree with leaving them with Jerwin and not moving them until its time for them to be split and shipped off to us...I think that'll minimize the risk of stress from shipping and different tank paramaters and what not.

 

[jerwin]

I will have new pics up in a day or 2.
