Great to see the little fella found a good home smile.gif

How's that enormous hermit crab working out for you? I used to have the Hawaiian 'Holloween' hermits and they were so active that they'd knock frags off the rocks.

Nice clams. How are they doing under the LEDs?


Thanks Dude!

I call him Dozer! He knocks stuff over but does a great job keeping my sand bed turned over... So I keep him around!

The clams (2 maxi's and a Croeca) are doing great sunbathing under the LED's...

The Spot is doing great now... When I got him his belly was sunk in... He loves the Spirulina flakes I feed him...

Your tank is looking great... as usual...

Jon...

Picked up this Dendro in Houston Sunday... $20+tax... 3 heads with 2 new sprouts on the backside...
Its a pig when I feed it! Glad I bought it... Its a very cool addition!

Nano sapiens
Nice Dendro and a good deal for $20!

I know my Acans can eat pretty good, but I heard these guys can really pig-out.

Can you tell me where you purchased that Dendro? I live in houston, and just started my first tank, and looking for new places to check out. Thanks

That's funny, I always thought I was the only one, but I'm always meeting people who know a patrick bush, I'm starting to think some one is using my identity!

How are you liking the LED's? I was a little disappointed with the colors at first, but once i got them blended at the right intensity I'm pretty pleased.
reeftankguy
I've always liked them since the day I finished my build... Havent had any problems or fried/Bleached livestock... The colors are amazing...

The only drawback I had was all my coraline algae died, but since then it is all coming back...

Just added 8 Zoa frags to the tank, so I have the LED's dimmed to acclamate them slowly... Should be at full power again in a few weeks... wink.gif Will update with a FTS then...

Thats cool, my Zoas are the ones that seem to have suffered the most, I had some eagle eyes and they just don't look the same.

Yes I am... I sold my 5 head Dendro, so after a few weeks of these settling in I'm going to Zoa out!

LOL...

I liked the Dendro, but they do require quite a bit of feeding to be happy campers.
Hope you have a good 'Pod eater in there with the Zoas!

I liked them also! But I was made an offer I couldn't refuse... I'm picking some more where those came from next time I'm in Houston...

Looks like some nice Zoas there! How are they holding up?

Thanks NS! They are all thriving... They are really coloring up and all have two to three new polyps growing on all of them...

The only ones out of that Mr.Coral frag pack that didnt make it were the "White Widows" and the "Fruit loops..."
They never opened up from day one and slowly melted away... I really wanted the Fruitloops out of the whole pack mad.gif

They were fragged and shipped to soon...Each had about a half tube of SG on each frag disk... Sloppy! IMO

Any way thanks for checking in...

Jon...

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I sold my Electric Blue Max to the same guy that bought my Dendro so now I have to things to buy next time I'm in Houston...

Don't you hate when that happens! I was all jazzed about a blood red Cyphastrea frag I ordered from Vivid, but it didn't make it (the other incidental stuff I bought did, though).

I'm not sure how many of the Cadlights 12g owners are still around, but I sure have seen a bunch of 'for sale' listings over the last few months. Might be just you and me representing the 12g in here soon,,,

Thanks NS... Been thinking about it and have decided to make the CAD a Frag only tank with just racks and rubble under the racks and my spare MP10...

Then start a LE Zoa frag collection in it wub.gif

UPDATE 08/13/2010

Added some more 21 frags from Mr.Corals $10 section... 3 different orders a week apart...

Lots of Acans, Zoa's, Favia and a Blasto!

All are doing great!
p-daddy
How did I miss this build for so long!

Nicely done! I've got a CAD 12g lying around that I am going to do something with eventually.
p-daddy
PS: That $10 section is the sickest deal on the East Coast, I took a ride there in person a week or two ago. They are fragging up some pretty high end stuff.

Thanks you P-Diddy... Its going to become a frag tank to house my Acan collection as soon as I finish my ADA build... And I will stuff it with Mr.C's $10 frags...

Yes... I am a big fan of his bowdown01.gif $10 deals online... Hope he stays that way... He could dominate online coral sales and force others to follow...

SIDE NOTE:

He had a rough start in the beginning when he started his "Crazy Mr.Coral Sales Blitz" but I can see and have experienced, that he has worked all the bugs out of his Fragging, Sales and Shipping system...


If I had any suggestion to give him right now, it would be to beef up his Hosting Server/ISP SPEED happy45.gif

This is a close up of the $10 Blasto from Mr.Coral... It already has a new head starting (3) total now...
