Saltwater help

[built2layframe]

water test? whats that. lol I just watch my corals, They will show problems before the fish in most cases. I do water changes about every 10 day so most everything stays in check.

Here is the foxface I also need to find a new home for

How much are you asking?

[Blakeski]

For the Foxface? I would like to trade for some coral, but I'll take $25 He has to go to someone with a 70 gallon or bigger though

[Z06killinsbf]

Thanks again Blakeski, it was good meeting you. My urchin picked up those corals and moved them across the tank so they have yet to "bloom". So I need to find some way to mount them so they can't be moved by the creatures. The fish is huge compared to my old one!!

I used both superglue and an epoxy putty. Your skimmer will go nuts with the putty btw.

I never adhered coral to my larger foundation LR. I tied to stick with smaller ones that I could place easier. Of course, when some damn fool critter managed to dislodge that rock for whatever reason it too the coral with it. And that sucked.

[Blakeski]

Yeah, Jedi is right, try superglue. Glad you enjoy the fish. If I was you, I would take the Green Star Polyps and cut a small section off of that rock and superglue it. As far ass the zoas, you will have to find a nice hole in your rock to wedge that frag plug into.

saltwater tanks are cool, for a few days...then they are a pain in the ass

Do I let the rocks dry? That doesn't sound good. I thought superglue would dissolve in water.

[Reefer Rae]

Super glue gel , works like a charm and sets in 15 seconds . Just make sure to put some on the rock and frag then put them together . I would buy mine at hobby town just ask for CA glue clear extra thick . You get 10 times as much for the same price .

Superglue won't dissolve in water - it's an arcylic based chemical reaction.

Don't let the LR dry - you'll kill all the benefits of it and then it'll cause an ammonia spike in the water.

Just bring the rock up to the surface, or just below, set your piece for 15-30 secs and then reset in the tank, easy cheesy.

Don't use JbWeld

[Z06killinsbf]

Sweet, I like easy cheesy!!

[Blakeski]

Good luck! I actually have a deal pending now for the foxface, should be getting some more eagle eye zoas, red and blue mushrooms, and some orange and green palys.

[Z06killinsbf]

Got it glued. I hope it holds. It seemed gooey while moving the rocks around.

[Blakeski]

Keep me posted on it. Like I said last night I should be able to throw you some of my green and blue palys once they spread a little more.
