doncb Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Nice looking rockwork! Getting rid of the surface scum is going to be interesting since surface skimmers are a no-no. Like the mantis too. I saw a Fu Manchu Lion at the LFS today. Hmmmmm? Link to comment
ebin Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 to combat surface scum I think that dipping a cup in may be the only way without breaking rules. Link to comment

Brian da lion Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Mantis shrimp are cool, but to be honest, they are some of the scariest looking things I have ever seen. I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat late at night, dreaming about finding one. Link to comment
Reefgeek Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 New FTS, added a nice torch, calustrea and a green/purple ricordia. The mantis is going away as soon as I can find a home for her, she is just too big for this tank. Link to comment
Tony Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Love the stand and hood. Link to comment
Ann Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Sweet new corals. Sorry to hear that your Mantis is being moved, she is a big, I didn't realise. What are you going to replace her with? Best regards Ann Link to comment
Reefgeek Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Unfortunately I haven't decided yet. I want something kind of out of the ordinary but small. This mantis is almost 3.5". Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment

Ryan_H Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Unfortunately I haven't decided yet. I want something kind of out of the ordinary but small. This mantis is almost 3.5". Anyone have any ideas? harlequin shrimp. may be hard to feed, but you only have to do it every 1-2 weeks. Link to comment
Reefgeek Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 Well, a lot has changed since last update. The mantis is now happily living in Ohio and I replaced him with a simple peppermint shrimp. When I added the Torch frag it came with some nice aptasia frags but the shrimp took care of those overnight. The torch pretty much doubled in size so I fragged it out and traded it for some yellow star polyps, green mushroom and a few kenya tree corals. I have also added two new ricordia and four new zooanthid species courtesy of Sharky's Reef. Here are some updated pics for your viewing pleasure. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 nice torch! is it as yellow on the tips as in the pic? that red zoo looks nice too. is that two species on the same rock or babies of the bigger? Link to comment
Reefgeek Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yep, the color on the torch pic is pretty much spot on. The one red zoo I didn't even pay for, it was just on the frag They zoos were supposed to be different shades of blue, but they really look purple in my tank. Link to comment
Ann Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Nice and clean looking. Love the torch, great colour morph. Best regards Ann Link to comment
Reefgeek Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Well, a lot has changed from day one. Rather than bore you I'll let the pictures do the talking. From the beginning: Link to comment
