I have a seriously neglected 24 gallon Aquapod by Current USA. I have recently had a cyno outbreak that I'm trying to overcome and some wonderful green hair algae is now peeking up at me from one of my rocks. I believe all of it came from the recent demise of my golden (yellow) wrasse. My 2 year old has a strange affection for this aquarium. She loves to turn the lights on/off, open the feeding door and we don't want to know what she does...I have found spoons and forks in there, occasionally there will by a Polly Pocket diving with the fishes....If you don't know what a Polly Pocket is....you REALLY don't want to know - most of their accessories are fodder for the vacuum.
Anyway, currently there is about 15+ pounds of live rock, a royal gramma, a few hermit crabs, a sally foot crab, botton polyps are hanging in there, xenia....not holding out a lot of hope for him...Spoon landed right square in the middle of it....lots of purple coraline agae is coming back though. - - Oh yeah...didn't mention that my stock pump quit working so I'm currently cripping along with only a MJ600. My new MJ1200 is on order....please please please be here tomorrow.
I have on order:
bunch of nassasomething snails - they came in Thursday..they're munching away
bristle star
queen conch
some chaetomorpha algae - -I'm going to convert the first chamber into a fuge with a submersible LED light
some yellow polyps
I'm also strongly considering modifying the aquarium to enable me to put my MJ600 into the first chamber...still thinking about that...wondering if the chaetomorpha algea would clog it up too much. but then I saw a soap dish mod...it's looking like a FABULOUS IDEA!!! to keep the chaeto in check.
I would post pix...but I'm too embarrrasssed.
WARNING: Before replying to this post...please don't question the safety of my fish or children....I posted this on another forum and got absolutely blasted...I got just a weee bit defensive - Trust me...my fish and children are quite safe in the current setup...oooppsss gotta go...two year old is climbing the doorway again!!!
