Gig acclimation - Page 4

Jeep_guy · 03/30/2017, 12:15 AM

Well lasted update. Last night I caught my new Flame Angel nipping at my SPS so he had to go, he didn't go peacefully. I had to remove a lot of rock work and practically rescape my entire tank. The anemone hasn't looked very happy since. I don't see any obvious tares in its foot and it hasn't deflated, just smaller then usual. If I had to do it over I would have left the flame and lost my SPS rather then lose this gig. I guess time will tell

Have you done a water change? I usually do a 20% WC in cases like this.

I did do a small wc. Even for the reason that so much stuff was kicked up when moving the rocks, also added fresh carbon. So far no sight of deflation and it actually looks a little happier today, the blues just kicked on but when the whites go on I'll try to take a short video.

Jeep_guy · 03/30/2017, 12:58 PM

Would you guys recommend feeding to increase the strength of the gig or not? Again I can't confirm anything tore just fearing the worst.

Jeep_guy · 03/30/2017, 01:10 PM

Also I finally added a second ph for added flow, I have two Jebao pp4s synced in w2 mode which is supposed to be like a sine curve. Here's the latest video, try not to let my clowns make you dizzy lol they do this all day but snuggle in the nem together when the lights are off.

I would feed it some, yes.

Give it an eraser size bit.

Jeep_guy · 03/30/2017, 11:36 PM

Thanks buddy, I did but it didn't devour it as quickly as usual. Also I got a plastic pasta scooper to keep the spinning clowns away while it eats lol

Jeep_guy · 03/31/2017, 03:31 AM

I think I might of spotted something, not sure if it's torn or just injured. If it is, what's the survivability for an established gig? It's still very sticky to the touch and hasn't deflated.

Swayze27 · 03/31/2017, 06:29 AM

Hard to tell in the pic but to me it just looks folded

Jeep_guy · 03/31/2017, 08:28 AM

Maybe I'm just paranoid lol . Just got up and it's folded nicely and holding itself up perfectly. I'll keep a close eye on it. Thanks

Jeep_guy · 03/31/2017, 01:04 PM

Would you guys consider this deflated? The whites literally just came on.

pfan151 · 03/31/2017, 01:45 PM

Looks good to me. When they are considered deflated they are more loose looking and not really holding their shape. That just looks shrunken down a little.

Jeep_guy · 03/31/2017, 02:05 PM

Thanks buddy, this anemone is stressing me out lol. I just read so many horror stories on gigs and I'd hate to lose this one, I need to stay off the internet lol

pfan151 · 03/31/2017, 02:08 PM

I think you're in the clear. Not sure what that spot on the foot is though. Tough to tell in the pic.

Jeep_guy · 04/01/2017, 09:35 PM

Just took this pic a few minutes ago. Today it's looking much better, more folds, more open and tentacles are extending better. Maybe it was just a little stressed from moving all the rocks around trying to catch the flame angel.

nemguy · 04/02/2017, 05:17 AM

Damn he has never detached from that rock the year o had him he's been on it from the store through the cipro treatment and the 4 tank swaps! I can't believe he let go!

Yea I think it was stressed from all the rock work being moved around, seems fine now. Glad yours is doing good

Jeep_guy · 04/04/2017, 05:24 PM

Well it hasn't moved from its spot in days and it's very sticky with a closed mouth but it just seems droopy when the lights are on, when the lights are off it holds it's self up much better. I'm hoping it doesn't need treatment

Jeep_guy · 04/04/2017, 05:52 PM

It did just devour a piece of fresh shrimp within seconds so I'm hopping it's a good sign.

Jeep_guy · 04/07/2017, 10:15 PM

worm5406 · 04/15/2017, 08:44 AM

Looks pretty good.

What about that torch? No damage from being blown around that much?

I wont do it, because I have been there already once in my life, I would put covers over those power heads.

No damage but I did have to move it, it was only there temporarily till I moved a few things around. Yea and I'm trying to find covers that fit the Jebaos and look decent.

Jeep_guy · 04/18/2017, 08:55 AM

So unfortunately due to some unexpected financial issues I'm breaking down the tank. Anyone in the PA/NY or NJ area that wants an established gig please let me know.

nemguy · 04/18/2017, 10:42 AM

Sorry to hear that

I'd love that gig back lol
