since you asked

i was doing some maintenance on the tank Sunday and decided to shot a quick vid of my GBTA's. i went a little nuts after loosing my gigantea and decided to try and build a bubble tip mountain

this was ~20 minutes after the lights came on so they weren't completely inflated, but you get the idea..............

Nice vid twenty. Are all those anemones from splits?I like all the flow you have in there. What pumps are you using?

a4twenty · Newbie-Geek

thanks, they're all clones from an anemone i got ~3 years or so ago. for flow i have to 2 K4's and a seio 1500, a few of them really like it though, it almost looks painful but they don't move.

here's a couple thumbs ( click me ) of the tentacles with the pumps off...........

thanks, yes they're all from one anemone but i only cut one ( couldn't watch any longer, three day split ), the rest were overfed to force a split.

thanks guys

LOL when do we get to see the right side?

a4twenty · Newbie-Geek

lol, i've been in limbo since my ATO fried my tank ( ~ 2 years ago ). i lost just about everything and almost my will to reef. i went away for the weekend and 50G of RODI got pumped into the sump ( probably 10 secs after i walked out the door ), overflowing it but not before drastically dropping the SG. from what i could figure, using my mad CSI skills

an anemone went walk about and into a K4, causing an NH3 spike, causing my clams to spawn, causing my skimmer to overflow, etc.......................... when i got home the tank looked like milk and the stench was something i never want to smell again. basically the only survivors were the fish ( poor tang took a beating, still not recovered ) ,a few BTA's ( tiny little balls buried in the rock ), one serpent star ( with only two legs, but look in the vid, regeneration is incredible

) and some limpets. as an added unseen bonus my berghia nudibranches died too, and the aptasia have made a come back

other than my gigantea attempt, i haven't added a single thing to the tank, no re-stocking, no clean up crew, nothing..........

so long story short, there isn't really anything to see, i'm even down to one light....... i took this a few months ago, pretty sad, compared to what i had before

but i'm coming out of it and am just waiting to see my bonus this year before i decide what to do..................................

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Man that sucks twenty, lol do you need us to peer pressure you into getting into it again. LOL so far I would say we have turned Barbara back onto clams so I think we can help you out?

billrob71 · Will work for CLAMS

Come on skinz cut him some slack, you know you got bummed out like I did when you lost your clam selection.

a4twenty · Newbie-Geek

lol, i was just at the LFS eyeing up some golden teardrops, i don't think it's going to take much pressure

also don't forget ~ a year before that my house got hit by lightning and i had to move all my tanks, so my luck has to change, doesn't it................ (please don't answer that

)

chris&barb · Lost

I know how easy it is to get discouraged. Still dragging my feet on our tank redo but i need to talk Barb into more flow before we start or its not going to be worth it IMO

Barbara · Geekette

I think we all have been where you are now: major crash of some kind...nearly nothing left...lots of money down the toilet

...lots of work ahead...lots more money to make it work
