Very nice shots of the coral, and the FTS makes the tank look amazing. Would love to see some of the shots of the back filter area, interested in how you built the AIO.

That's a very nice setup! I guess there are corals in Iceland after all. ;)

 

Seriously though, I hear everything there is expensive. How are coral prices and what do you have in terms of availability?

I'm thinking of adding a Banggai Cardinal - Pterapogon kauderniAlso

And a Royal Gramma - Gramma loreto to my tank

347467897.jpg

 

I tried placing it on a rock i wanted it to sit on but that did not work out that way and she is hoping around :P, you can also see my candy cane there, that one just started opening to my spot feeding at night time :D

347467983.jpg

 

The toads tool did open well soon after it got in the tank but now it's all closed up ans shedding but i guess that's normal :P

347467935.jpg

 

The Bubble Anemone is still looking for that sweet spot i guess :P

Hey so i was going to buy a Ricordia to day, but when i got there it was so color less and did not have inflated bubbles so i declined and asked for a Furry Green Mushroom instead that looked really nice

 

So i decided to take the FGM and when i got home i saw a little hitchhiker polyp :D

Here is a photo of the FGM

And here is the Hitchhiker

347829969.jpg

Pleas ID this one if you know him :D

 

After i got them in my tank i tested the guy's water for fun and now i know why his Ricordia was so unhappy

347821328.jpg

Nitrate is sky hight, the Salinity was 1.029!, and the temperature was insane high in the room so the tank must have been to high as well

 

But my toads tool is opening and looking good

347821144.jpg

and also my tiny little neon green fether dusters are back (My peppermint shrimps almost killed them all those bastards :P)

347821208.jpg

 

My Red Mushroom has multiplied :)

So it's been a while since any update, i have fraged my toadstool since it got a hole in it's head and was just getting worse, so i cut away all the hole area and made 5 frags and left the "Foot" to restart a new "Head"

 

I added a Briareum frag that i exchanged for a toadstool frag

 

I did have some problem with algae, witch i think was because of a non Wet food grade container i used for my ATO system, now a few weeks after i got a new 7,8 Gallon ATO container the algae has gone down significantly

 

Well here are some photos :)

Red People Eater frag

Green Button polyp, a little bleached i think :S

The "Foot" of the toadstool already forming a new "Head"

Those green feather dusters are probably colonial hydroids. You might want to get rid of them before they get out of hand.

Mr. Thingdoer

They look like Hydroid Myrionema to me. I've read that people had mixed success with epoxy and superglue. I've also ready that kalk just puts them in to remission. They also say that they burrow as much as an inch in to rock, so tweezing isn't an option. l'd pull the rock out and chisel it off.

 

I've read that Panacure and Zeospur2 are effective, but may contain copper.

 

You're lucky. I had them spread on one of my rocks so bad that I had to pull the entire rock out and let it dry.

I have similar hydroids, and they generally stay in a few places without growing a lot. You can just leave them alone.

That wasn't my experience with them. In one month, they went from just a few hydroids, to an area of about 6" x 8". They totally encrust for most people. They also pack a potent sting. They stung the heck out of a moti digi that shared their rock. They're the only aquatic life that have ever stung me. You can do a google search and see what I mean.

I guess it depends on the nutrients the hydroids have available to them. I keep my tank lightly stocked with only occasional feedings.
