I have a pair bought ~4 years ago but they are getting kind of dirty I want to replace it for fathers day. Anyone know where I can find this (asked Reef and Zappos they don't have it in stock), or something very similar (firm sandal with pad and soft foot arch near toes)?
I’m wanting two aquariums.
One aquarium will have more verity of macroalgea and the over being more invasive and I’m thinking maybe I could switch it between the two tanks so it can eat them without outright destroying them?
For the first tank its macroalgea will be red bamboo macroalgae, Cryptonemia Crenulata, dead man's fingers macroalgae, branching hex macroalgae and orange galaxy macroalgae.
The invasive reef will just have blue octodes and caulerpa taxifolia.
But is my idea silly/dangerous?
Each polyp has a large stony tube shaped base. From what I can tell it is for sure a LPS coral. The tips look exactly like goniopora, however skeleton does not make sense for this. From what I can tell all extension is stony with small fleshy tips.
I got a green hammer about a month ago and it was doing great for the first 2 weeks. It started shriveling 2 weeks ago and now it’s seemed to shrivel up completely. I’ve done water changes for the past 5 days and i’m not sure why it’s still shriveled. please help!
My tanks been going for about 4 months or so tank cycles pretty quick and has been good I would get a little diatoms/detritus here and there. Recently it’s started to get way worse tho. Does anyone have any solutions or advice and could you guys help me identify some of the algae. I think I have diatoms, a little bit of bubble algae and it looks to be some hair algae starting. I have 2 clowns 2 cerith 2 nassarius 2 trochus 1 emerald crab A bunch a micro brisle stars
My nitrates are around .5 and phosphates are around 0.05
Thoughts on my coral choices for my 20 gallon reef tank and any suggestions for possibly more?
The tank’s dimensions are 33cm wide, 72cm long and 40cm tall.
The corals I’m thinking a Kenya tree, Duncan, blue green sympodium and mushroom corals.
It’ll also have macro algae like the red bamboo macroalgae, Red Grape macroalgae, Cryptonemia Crenulata, dead man's fingers macroalgae, branching hex macroalgae and orange galaxy macroalgae.
I like diversity and movement, but I’m also kinda lazy so stuff that likes dirty water and okay for beginners.
And zoanthids
The tank in question is 29cm wide, 58cm long and 42cm tall.
Originally I just wanted one treed tank, but I really wanted pulsing Xenia and blue octodes, but they’re highly invasive so I thought why not have an invasive reef?
For macroalgae I have blue octodes and caulerpa taxifolia, for corals I’m thinking Kenya tree, pulsing Xenia, green star polyps and mushrooms.
And for inverts I was thinking a Pom Pom crab.
I like inverts but also like colourful gorgeous fish!
Any suggestions guys? I’d like this set up to be low maintenance as it’ll be a pest/invasive tank as the macroalgea and corals will be battling it out.
