2x ATI Blue Plus
Did it work?Thanks for the idea here bud. Let's hope it works! Brand new and bleached grout sponge and 2" tube. Coated the tube end with gel ca glue and slid the sponge down to set.
Unfortunately the opportunity has not arisen to use it yet.
That's awesome.I recently did this. My nem took 26 hours to crawl up the pipe. Its out of the fuge and in the nem tank now.
Light go out and they go to town. What kinda fish barn you running thereLittle update. All is doing well. Made some changes to the macro tank and about to make changes to the coral frag tank.
Macro tank had sand bed removed. I plan to wash it and put some back in. Had a booboo with my tub of mud and a powerhead. Oops. Note to self: make sure not to bump gyre magnet and knock off. Then gyre will not fall into mud tub and send mud everywhere. It was a mess. Luckily I just threw the macro in a tub, drained all the water and removed all of the sand. Then shop vac cleaned it out. Thankfully i have 500 gallons of water on hand at any point in time. Took longer to find my my long house to go from the garage tanks to the fish barn lol.
The macro tank will also be getting some new/old lights. Redid some old sb reef lights to have a more plant based spectrum and am going to throw 2x 32” ones over it.
The frag tank will move to led/T5, as opposed to just T5. Heat is starting to become an issue with the additional tanks, acrylic not being as heat dissipating as glass and the fact the frag tank is eurobraced. It also doesn’t help the lights are only 7-8” off the water.
The plan is to use some modified sb reef lights that I changed the leds to include more uv, a couple mint and removed the soft whites on. Those will then be supplemented with either 2 or 4 T5 bulbs. It will also allow me to keep high par and still get the lights further away from the water.
All that is to happen this weekend. Have nothing else to do and don’t have parts for where I exploded the turbo on the red Volvo yet, so fish barn weekend it is.
I will leave y’all with some freaky rfas. 2 decided to spawn and then the rest in that tub and the 2 other tubs all hopped in on the spawn bus. Hoping for babies!!!!!
The acrylic is crystal clear lol. They got nasty.

Steve do nems spawn in moon cycles?Little update. All is doing well. Made some changes to the macro tank and about to make changes to the coral frag tank.

We have yet to figure that out. My lights are strictly on and off on this tank and are ramp up and down for the same amount of time on the others. So far, I cannot put 2 and 2 together. At least with RFA or warty sea nems. The wartys spawned a week ago and they get light from a a cheap fw light on a timer. They are nps and are typically found under rocks and in no light. Trying to track them now as well.
I was just wondering since I seem to have read about a lot of spawning happening in the last week, and there was a full moon recently.
It could be, but i have had spawns nowhere near a full moon, so no clue lol. I am almost to the point of just letting things be and stop noting it lol. Tons of notes and the only thing left to do is a board with notes and strings like in those movies with people obsessed with something. Wife would think I am crazy then. Well more crazy than usual.
Orrrr the nerd in me says to get it into an excel file and keep pileing in the info until a pattern emerges, and you win the game.
THATS WHERE MOST OF IT IS!!!!!!! Lol.
We're in the same world. I would not be able to do my job without a dedicated monitor with two Excel books open. Just NO!
