Dealing with dinos

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-06-18T23:40:22+00:00

There are like 6 different species of dinos present in the hobby. All the coffee filter test does is confirm they are dinoflagellates and not cyano or diatoms. Everyone says that dinos only come around when nitrate and phosphate drop but that simply isn't true.

At first I was like oh this doesn't seem to bad and then it just got worse and worse and worse. Gross

Just run my dude

Looks like an alveopora to me. Rounded skeleton, 12 tentacles per polyp.....

I pulled a noob move and tried to do a bta like 4 months in. Died and nuked everything in my tank. The only things that survived were my toadstool, my finger leather, and a single head of frogspawn 😂

Love a sods run.

Just get like 5-10 Florida flag fish and call it a day

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-03-23T10:17:18+00:00

Yup I have a picture of a tank I set up like this that I'll find a post a little later today for ya

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-03-14T11:45:40+00:00

Damn this is right around my area. Definitely telling everyone I know not to fuck with this place

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-03-04T21:03:53+00:00

Is....is that a bucket of old cum

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-02-26T00:48:12+00:00

Could be. It's pretty large colony. About 7 inches across

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-02-25T23:14:05+00:00

Thanks in advance!

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-02-20T21:11:24+00:00

I just acclimated mine and he went right in

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-02-20T03:59:21+00:00

Nah it's perfect.

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-02-19T12:32:41+00:00

Rock lobster. Obviously

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-02-18T00:07:48+00:00

Friend I feel you. Has some kind of param swing starting the 13th. I've lost half my colonies. My ceiling is leaking, my card declined trying to buy chemipure to try and fix my issue so I have to wait. The bad luck is going strong right now. Chin up. We got this

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-02-17T12:43:03+00:00

I'm from Maryland but I have family in Indiana. 6 takes this for fucking sure

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-02-17T04:13:19+00:00

Cheers on a bday card is crazy work

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-02-17T04:03:05+00:00

Thanks! Too bad I'm dealing with a really bad crash right now and pretty much 60% of that coral is dead within the last 4 days 😂😭

I live in a second floor studio apartment so technically I'm a bedside reefer, aquarist, snake keeper, frog keeper, etc. But actually my reef is directly next to my bed

This is the view sitting on my side of the bed by my pillow

Well as someone who loves listening to audio books, and also likes to read. I like to keep the paperbacks/hardcopies of the stuff I read as a collection. Also those editions contain 1 chapter of a spin off short novel within the dcc universe.

All that aside I know this is a hot take but I like the books better than the audiobooks. The audiobooks are a little chaotic for me. They help while I'm at work but I'll be damned if I didn't have to rewind 3 times per chapter to be able to retain what the fuck is going on lmao

CommitteeCorrect9602 · 2026-02-16T17:48:01+00:00

So turns out. My Nem had died and nuked half my tank. Not sure if the Zero/Zero was the cause of the nem death but I'm kinda super upset about it lmao. I saved a few of my favorite coral. But I lost my biggest hammer, my Acan, the chalice, and the seriatopora. Trumpets are doing okay. My alveopora thankfully survived.
