Have you had a problem with copperband before?
I have a ender 5 S1, it's not easy but also not extremely difficult, a lot of tinkering to find the right print parameters and settings it up to run smoothly.
I have a sneaking suspicion that i cant keep acans favias and platygyras because of my copperband. I thought it was my water or bacteria or something. But the ones i have in a jail cell out of beak range are growing great.
Really good size
I have plenty tdo granules if you want some
That was their "small" just glad it wasn't as small as the blue tang, gosh they sell them tiny.
Im not positive it is my copperband that mowed down my strats a while back along with several other zoas but seems most likely since it is the most picky eater. I also have an aiptasia eating filefish, CB regal angel, blue tang, one spot foxface. I was also having problems keeping acans, favias, platys and a couple other LPS, but i thought i had a bacteria problem or something. I put my stratospheres and some other zoas, blastos, acans and favias in a box that fish couldnt get to and those ones are all growing great.
I think the torch killing clowns were from the clowns rubbing them to death “hosting” the torch
That’s a healthy looking fish. Healthy looking Aiptasia top right as well. Maybe need to feed it some Aiptasia X or something. My bad. I hate seeing Aiptasia.
The clowns were hosting the torch?
Yep that's why I got the copperband, I'm getting tired of zapping the things. I've been using sodium hydroxide and works really well but new ones pop up.
I've read about that too. They caused my toadstool to retract for days at a time from hosting it. I'm moving them to the 20 when I catch them. Some corals just don't like to be hosted.
I was thinking about an automated brine shrimp hatchery or something.
We're waiting on approval for a Ender 3 Max Neo. Hopefully soon!
Yeah, I understand. They got in my tank hitch hiking on the first coral I put in the tank. I’ve settled on a three prong approach. Nudis work great on the upper rocks, but they wouldn’t wonder down to the lower areas of the tank or off the rocks. I use Aiptasia X where I can put it on them and it won’t fall off. If they are on a ledge where the Aiptasia X slides off, I just bury them with epoxy glue. All seems to work well together. I figured it’s like weeds in your yard. You just have to keep at them before they can go to seed. Eventually you start winning the battle.
Mine has killed a few OGs from loving them to death.
