Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

[SashimiTurtle]

We held a vote. You weren't able to attend? Maybe next time...

Sympodium is happy, so we moved the trumpet coral over. This is a pretty tough coral, as my urchin broke it off the rock and it sat upside down in the sand for I don't know how long.

Turtle, I told you about that thing a week before you finally picked it up.

You again, @Zack Klabunde must have invited you back. Anyway, yes so we might have ignored it for a while... so what it's still alive.

So how easy was the seneye to use? Thinking of buying one for the par meter.

Not hard at all. Follow the instructions for hooking it up to your computer tho. I read not doing that can mess something up. The sensor is sensitive to the angle the light is hitting it. Running the Kessils I had to make sure I was aimed at the light source or the reading was way low.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Alright, since everyone is under the misconception that this is a democracy... why don't y'all have a vote on coral placement. We'll see how much I agree with y'all. You already know what is moving over, and I've given you a PAR map. Remember, I put the Sympodium at the bottom of the right cave and the trumpet is just to the left of the left cave.

 

[Scurvy]

Haha

Personally l would move the BtA over first and let him choose[emoji6]

I hooked mine up without any issues at all. I have mine hard wired because I am not a huge fan of wi-fi.

I was a little concerned about having issues based on what I had read but it was unfounded.

Moved over the duncans, acans, the neon green birds nest and the BTA. Hardy corals I know will do just fine. The BTA was ticked at first, but attached and started to inflate quickly. Maui came out and rubbed on my hand a few times when I was getting the BTA to attach. He was hungry. I need a frag disk to mount the acans on. Right now they are just resting on the sand. That trumpet coral we moved yesterday is inflated today. Tank is crystal clear.

Looking good! Maui really is a character!

I had to put the BTA back in acclimation and go get my cell phone and hope he'd come back out. I swear he was rubbing all over my fingers before I could get the camera out. I ended up stuffing the nem down into a crevice in the rock where it wouldn't get blown out and shortly after it was attached and inflating. It was sticking to my fingers trying too much trying to hold it. Hopefully it'll stay, but I'm expecting it to move. They always move, even if its just a little bit.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

And then there were two...

I kind of halfway expected to lose this one. I didn't see it eat anything yet and it just stayed close to the bottom. Let's hope the other two make it.

 

[Katrina71]

I'm really sorry. I hate losing them.

 

[Katrina71]

I can't even bring myself to get another Pederson or Tailspot yet. I'm such a girl sometimes.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

The red on one side has me concerned about a bacterial infection. The other smaller one is now looking the same, but swimming around fine. His color is faded in the middle no red marks tho. The large one has good color. I've got Metroplex and Kanaplex in the water now. Hope the other two are fine.

 

[Katrina71]

Uh oh...

 

[Zack K]

MetroPlex and Kanaplex should knock out any bacterial infection scares. Red spots could also be an ammonia problem. But that is usually more around the gill area

 

[Katrina71]

How does the duo look today?

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Still alive. The big one still looks healthy, small one looks beat up and hiding. Missing a few scales. I moved it to the frag tank. I think the larger cardinal is attacking the smaller ones.
