SBB - Pre Black Friday- 900 WYSWYG Corals!

[stoney7713]

@Fish Styx ended up in the hospital recently from not wearing gloves.

She was afraid the maroons were going to bite.

She was afraid the maroons were going to bite.

I got bit by my clown once. I pulled my hand out of the tank and accidentally threw her on the ground. After I put her back in she swam a little off for an hour or so and then she was back to normal. Interesting thing is, she hasn't bit me since. Yes, she is still alive.

 

[stoney7713]

Yeah, I spent almost a week in the hospital battling a Vibrio infection in my hand. Zero stars, do not recommend.

That's just crazy. All the things we do everyday and it comes down to your hand in a fish tank.

That's what I told her, you have to assert dominance. If they bite you, bite them back!

Or I'll tell her to take the @tbrown approach, body slam them on the floor...

@StatelineReefer had a positive for Vibrio in his test he sent in if I remember correctly.

From a cut from a coral? What happened?

 

[stoney7713]

Glad to hear. Mine are stupid busy and all over the glass. I can't move the glass cleaner without a bunch in the way.

What's been going on, I've been MIA since I've been super busy this week.

Look something like this?

 

[Kasrift]

Look something like this?

Exactly. Sad thing is I crashed my phyto culture. I added two new reactors and put a split in the lines on an eheim 400 air pump. Turns out it isn't enough flow. I get new culture starters tomorrow and another eheim 400 from BRS on Friday.

It's ok though I guess, I hadn't had crash in forever, maybe 8 months. Starting with fresh cultures won't be a bad thing.

 

[Fish Styx]

From a cut from a coral? What happened?

I had an old cut on my finger that was almost healed. I didn't even think about it and had my hand submerged in tank. Within slx hours, my hand had ballooned up. Fortunately, we caught it in time; but, it was extremely aggressive and difficult to control. Ironically, I almost always wear gloves. This time I didn't.

FYI: nearly everyone's tank has Vibrio in it. I'll be writing an article about it in the next few days. It just needs an opportunity. Wear gloves, kiddos.

 

[Fish Styx]

From a cut from a coral? What happened?

No. Unrelated to the tank. I put a drill bit into my finger a few weeks ago. It was an old puncture wound.

Just took some photos tonight. I changed salt on my last bucket, only because they don't make the Aquaforest bio salt anymore and switched it to Hybrid.

It has only been a week, but I'm getting more reds like @billyocean .

This one in particular shocked me tonight and I've never seen it this red:

SBB Renegade:

SBB Angry Unicorn:

SBB something from the previous sale:

SbB Disneylandon the bottom center and SBB Space Ghost nub on bottom left, SBB Angry Unicorn bottom right, two other SBB sticks I forget.

Sbb purchased MattV Red Dana is very rainbow:

SBB Guilty Pleasure bottom left, non SBB snail covering the SBB Hollagram and a non namer above it.

Probably has more potassium in it?

Probably. I bought some to add, still sitting in it's package but I assume the same thing.

Looking really good. Have you tried Red Sea? I haven’t, but considering it

 

[steveschuerger]

So my stupid clowns are super happy with the Black Widow. Ever since I moved em over they haven’t left it. Took these a little while ago after getting home

Nope, in the two years I've been doing this, I started with the largest bucket of Tropic Marin Bio salt and liked it, switched to Aquaforest Bio Salt on the second bucket and now on a small bucket of Aquaforest hybrid to see if I want to do that or go back to Tropic Marin.

im a convert from Reef Crystals to AquaForest Reef salts. Mix fast and clean. Added bonus-the corals seem to have shown better growth since the change over.

Which Aquaforest are you using?

 

[steveschuerger]

Which Aquaforest are you using?

Just the straight up Reef . About time to buy another big purple bag actually.

@StatelineReefer had a positive for Vibrio in his test he sent in if I remember correctly.

Most tanks have at least three vibrio strains.
