Snail's pace beginning to an Old Lady's 65g Reef

[MarkS1320]

Barb,

Just skipping through the thread I noticed a duster and also some hermits. I want to get some Hawiian dusters but don't know if the reef safe hermits would be too much of a bother to them. What has been your experience? Anyone else?

Thanks.

 

[Craig Manoukian]

Micro Blue and Scarlet (make sure they have golden yellow eye stalks) hermits ar the most reef safe I have found MarkS1320.

Mark, thanks for looking through my chronicle!

I've never seen a hermit bothering my duster. Ever.

Nice Tank, Is That A Candy Cane To The Right Of The Stick's ? The One That It Looks Like There Is Three Heads. I Have One That Looks Simular, It's Just Not Doing Much, Had It Almost A Week. O/t I Am From Oh Origanaly - Lancaster And I Have Family In Clinton, By Turkeyfoot Lake. Again Very Nice Tank, Keep Up The Good Work. My 55 & 30 Keep Me Going.

Hi, Charlie... yes, that's a Candy Cane. It actually has five heads, you just can't see two of them in the back. A week? Takes them awhile to get settled in. Be sure to feed each head some tiny meaty bits a couple times a week and they'll grow like crazy for you.

Hey now!

I can't help the experienced peeples so I'll lead the noobs to the promised land.

Ain't that what the grannies are for?!

 

[Dentoid]

You can help everyone, don't be so modest!

[Dentoid]

That's lovely Barb! I don't think you have any more real estate there! Time for a new tank!

 

[BarbMazz]

Thanks, Scott.. it's pretty filled up. A sad tale though; my sanctihome mushroom fell into the hammer and was nuked There are a few places that are still alive, so I'm hoping it will make a comeback.

No new tank here! I think YOU need a new tank. Ball is now in your court! lol

I notice in my FTS Bam Bam is not in sight! His burrow is in the left front corner... so here's a shot that shows him, too.

 

[Dentoid]

I see him now! Standing at attention.

I do have something in the works. TBA!
