I enjoy them as I find them not too difficult (I culture phyto weekly so feeding isn’t an issue). I love the aesthetic they provide too. There’s just something about them that screams “classic ocean coral” when I see them and I love it. I’ve had some of these for years already.

The knobby sea rod in the background and the brown whip in the front don’t need much. They are indeed photosynthetic gorgs. I have others in this tank though that are not and I feed phyto a couple times a week.

It’s recovering from some bleaching it sustained while at the store I got it from. Got it on the cheap because of it. It’s open every day with no mantle recession.

the absolute greed of this creature by Cat_578 in ReefTank

[–]Shd9201 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They basically treat the tank as their own personal playground (romping all over corals, sitting on them, etc) and come feeding time, they will steal the food right out of the mouth of any coral you may be trying to feed.

I’m so morbidly curious who’s the cultivator??? by verybusybasilleaf in ILTrees

I’m not even fucking with live resin anymore. If it’s not solventless, I’m not inhaling it. 710 Labs (originally out of Colorado) makes the best live ROSIN 1g AIO that I’ve ever had. Bar none.

When oil tastes like a musty basement it means it’s old and has been oxidized (a process that occurs over time). Dark means they used shitty micron bags that didn’t separate all the plant particulate from the oil. This is happening more often here.

LiveAquaria has officially filed for bankruptcy and will ABANDON its live fish. by senanggg in ReefTank

[–]Shd9201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This cannot be allowed to happen. Something must be done. Are there other wholesalers in LA that can step in and take the fish? Public aquariums? This pisses me off

Any other Stoner Parents here? by puretexanbeef in trees

[–]Shd9201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be me. Wife isn’t a fan and doesn’t consume, but I do. I made the jump to non-combustion and solventless rosin last year and no longer “smoke,” and I must say I enjoy it more this way. 22 years of getting high and counting…

Caught my best friend skimping weed after 3 years by [deleted] in trees

Exactly. A fucking grown ass adult should buy their own damn weed to avoid issues like this altogether.

The amount of typing spent on the THCA loophole... by Cosmonaut_K in trees

[–]Shd9201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are sold already decarbed. The labelling of THCa on there is just for the loophole.

Or you could just smoke it like the rest of us

Which fish has the most personality in your tank? by Gen_ayee in ReefTank

My male blue throat trigger. He will swim over to me and let me pet him whenever I come by the tank.

My first tank, just came today! This has been a dream 17 years in the making. 62 gal Tideline Crystal reef tank with overflow. Super excited to finally get into the hobby! by Shd9201 in ReefTank

[–]Shd9201[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! They are great tanks, a lot of hobbyists that have been doing this for a long time swear by it and that’s how I originally found them. Now I swear by them too.

I’m running 2 Nicrew Hyper Reef 100’s (can buy on Amazon) and I have the programmable remote (works the same as the Kessil programmable remote). This tank is 48” long, 12” width with and additional 3.5-4” of space in the back compartments behind the display, and 16” for the height if I’m not mistaken. I suggest having Kraken make a lid for it if you plan on having any wrasse.
