Tom@HaslettMI's 2012 pico

[Tom@HaslettMI]

Thanks Becky!

Quick pico update...

• Still having cyano issues. I pulled the filter floss and think I'm seeing slow improvement.
• Bubble bee shrimp is doing great and has quite a personality.
• Corals are all doing well. Not a ton of growth but looking good.
• Dendro declined slightly from the picture above, but now seems to be stabilized.
• I also added two tiny nassarius snails.

Photo update to follow soon-ish.

Thanks Speed.

So for a little fun let's play "What's going on here?".



The first person to post with the correct answer will receive a free frag* of these protopalys.

Wow, that was fun...

Answer: I was concerned that either the filter seal or silicon on the tank had sprung a leak. The pic is a FW test of the tank with all of the livestock in the cooler behind it.

The result was that neither leak and the issue was the air pump I added to the filter. It was causing just a little bit of water to sneak out over the edge of the filter.

Here is the latest reset... some of the corals are still recovering from the shuffle.









Thanks for looking!

Thanks Miz. That's my once ailing (now recovering?) Dendrophyllia.

Good to hear you didn't have a leak!

[Tom@HaslettMI]

Thanks AJ.

Most of the corals have rebounded from the "leak test" move. The Xenia seems to have taken it the worst and is now really just a fleshy nub with no polyps... I'm hoping it will recover.

The dendro is still not accepting food and the main polyp continues to shrink albeit very slowly. However, the lone baby polyp now has two tiny polyps next to it! Perhaps this has all been the main polyp sacrificing itself to asexually reproduce. Who knows

Updated pic coming soon.

I've never seen an Orange or more like a reddish colored Dendro. That is just awesome!
