Nana's 40B

No I didn't get one yet. Definitely on my shopping list. Don't know how much longer I can go without a WC. It's bothering me inna big way. But my SB looks so good-lol.

On a side note, Salifert silicate test kit came. Both tank & RO/DI reservoir reading 0

Very, very nice, Nana.

 

[NanaReefer]

Thank You. If you were to see it in person you'll be wrinkling your nose. Almost two years now I've been plagued with a sand bed that looks like this..UGH!!

 

[mfinn]

I would get aggressive with sand stirring critters.
Sea cucumber, snails and hermits.

We no longer have an LFS that sells SW. Everything must be ordered online and living where I do I fear a bunch of DOA's due to cold weather.
FedEx & UPS are not very dependable. I often pay for 2 days shipping and usually get it by the 4th or 5th day.

 

[mfinn]

I like liveaquaria. Great 14 day warranty.

 

[NanaReefer]

Well I tried the h2o2 remedy. Mistakingly overdosed. Wound up killing my Cleaner Shrimp and my Candy Cane looks like crap. I'm no longer dosing, did a WC. Just totally frustrated...

 

[spieszak]

I remember you saving for that sand... so, I understand the hesitance, but have you considered just siphoning it all out?

 

[NanaReefer]

Oh yeah I've considered it. Unfortunately can't do nothing till tax return. I definitely don't wanna go bare bottom.
Look what happened to my Fire & Ice Zoas! Finally opened up and I see this. Morphed to orange centers!

Reefing...it's a state of mind.

 

[spieszak]

Cool! I wonder if the h2o2 actually 'bleached' the orange.
You just really hate the look of bare bottom?

 

[NanaReefer]

Here's how they looked before. Yes I really hate the look of a BB tank. Always have.

Reefing...it's a state of mind.

 

[spieszak]

be interesting to see how they bounce back...
i am not big on bare bottom tanks either, but once the corraline covers, they aren't so bad...

 

[NanaReefer]

It's more about the life within the SB that I'd miss most. That and my Conch and Nassarius Snails I love so much depend on a SB.


Reefing...it's a state of mind.

 

[spieszak]

i agree on the conch, but the nass don't actually need sand. they probably prefer it, but they will live just fine in the rocks....
