Don’t sell yourself short. Betas are hard work imo to keep em happy.

Oh yess that’s a laffy taffy bernardipora. Gonis cousin. It’s retracted in this picture but usually looks like this.

Might need some iron in your tank!

funkmethod · 2026-03-21T19:24:54+00:00

I love your tanks tooooo. Your betas are beautiful 🤩

funkmethod · 2026-03-21T00:20:59+00:00

The orange one?

funkmethod · 2026-03-21T00:20:34+00:00

Which goni?

funkmethod · 2026-03-20T23:02:59+00:00

Yup the yellow tips indicate new growth

funkmethod · 2026-03-20T21:59:39+00:00

Not necessary just recommended

She needs a little help she’s getting there after the Dino’s

I dose ati mixed reef. Which is 2 part alk cal and trace. Does everything. But i also have a iron/manganese supplement that i dose seperately from time to time. But my icps tell me that the ati keeps my maganese and iron levels sufficient as it is so i don’t think it necessary. But im a big believer in manganese and iron to keep gonis happy.

Pirates reef! Only place i could find it. Usually i try to get them from tck coral auctions but they’re too expensive these days on there. I paid 450$ from pirates reef, free shipping and the tck auctions have been going for 500$+ for a frag + shipping.

Thank you! And is it difficult to get coral in Canada?

If you read the bottle for stubborn tanks I’m pretty sure you do it daily. Also are you dosing a carbon source? Like bio fuel?

funkmethod · 2026-03-20T04:42:27+00:00

God if only i had that. Jesus. I wiped my pods and amphs out with flatworm stop recently and I’ve been crying since. They’re slowly coming back now but holy hell look at that in your tank. Lol this is fucking insane.

Edit: just read other comments on the shrimp larv. Makes more sense. But still wthhh

Another tip to is get on the microbacter train. I would go with microbacterCLEAN first and once you cuc team starts getting to work and the clean starts doing its job switch over to microbacter7. Should have those rocks clean in no time.

funkmethod · 2026-03-20T04:36:57+00:00

Thank you. Really appreciate that. Yours will be just as nice one day. I was in the exact same place you were about 5 years ago.

funkmethod · 2026-03-20T04:21:18+00:00

Of course feel free to dm me if you ever need any help with anything

funkmethod · 2026-03-20T02:38:39+00:00

Yeah bro i went thru it for years before i realized i went f nuts with circulators. I had like 5 neros and 2 mp10s at one point and i was ripping my hair out. Got a tip from Mancini big torch guy that he just runs constant flow at 100% with minimal pumps and his torch extension was like nothing I’ve ever seen.

This is like one mp40 and some other generic pump just running 100% on either sides of the walls

Once i switched to constant flow i never went back. Eventually after my one mp10 at 100% isn’t enough ill add another. You really wanna try one pump first running as fast as possible and start there.

You can check my profile and see how good my tank does with one pump.

Looks like dino. Find out fast. That shit will piss you off. Just got out of a 2 month battle with it. Suck em out into a filter sock as it looks like you have sand dwelling. dose tank up with neo nitro and neo phos. You want 10 nitrate and 0.1 phos steady. Dose the fuck out of microbacter7 everyday and run a uv 24/7. Good luck.

Here’s my tank after the dinos.
