Hi all! I have some extra live phyto that i can share if anyone needs them. Own culture that produces about a gallon each week which is way more than what I can dose. I am located near japan town in San Jose if anyone is interested ;)

I see, thanks. I do have a uv sitting around but it is way too big to plumb into the sump so i never set it up. looks like ill have to find a way orz

First try i squashed most of them with the slides, so second time i picked out a string with a toothpick and gently placed the second slide on top and didn't use the clamps on the microscope lol

Most of em looks like this under white, and the ones that grow on zoa skins aren't so stringy and don't have bubbles in them

Second one most likely is a gorilla crab? guess it was feasting on sps :confused:

Hello! Found these two tiny crabs both on the same milli colony. Anyone recognize them? Thanks!

They sometimes do that to me too... for me the sps do better in lower nutrients but if it goes too low softies start melting with the high par, so I need to test frequently to keep it acceptable for both XD

Thanks!

Thank you! Will work on that lol
