pyrocreep Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Welcome to the budget reefing club. Just a heads up it doesn't really get any better for about...well I'm 22 now so if you go to college...8 years from now give or take. Still the tank looks good. It's great to be able to find frags for cheap. Link to comment

nebthet Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 update! got a rock with 2 ricordea yuma for 10$ from my lfs. pictures later. EDIT: picture!!!! If your ric Yumas are any thing like mine... each head can get up to 4 inches in diameter or more.. They look awesome when they get that big. Link to comment
Dr.eclipse Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 dont have one! D: my dad lost the camera charger and my parents took my phone(grades..spend too much time on reefin ) and i keep forgetting to ask for my brother for his iphone. If your ric Yumas are any thing like mine... each head can get up to 4 inches in diameter or more.. They look awesome when they get that big. unfortunately ones not doing to good, i have no idea why. its all shriveled and the other is open. i dont think its gonna make it.. ): Link to comment
nebthet Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 That sucks... it doesn't look like it is melting away does it? If not, you still may have a chance with it. Mine like a slightly shaded area on the sand bed as opposed to any where else in the tank. Link to comment
Dr.eclipse Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 no not melted, just really shriveled and color loss. Link to comment
nebthet Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 That's a bit strange.. I would suggest putting it in an slightly shaded area of the tank, and if you have lugol's solution, dose a little bit of that as per the directions. It should help a bit.. It is when they look like they are melting or have holes through them that you have to worry. Link to comment
Dr.eclipse Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 no i dont have any of that stuff. but ill move it to a shaded area when i get home. Link to comment
nebthet Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I hope it survives for you. Can't wait to see more pics of it. Link to comment
