Spencerx Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 cool im in charlotte. i just set up a 20g that i got from a local reefer. Are you in any local reef clubs? Link to comment
mattie Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 no I'm not a member of any of the local reef clubs I just moved here from hawaii at the end of june. I just visted charlotte for the first time just last week I have a relative that lives next to the lowes motor speedway. I would be intersted in finding of what local reef clubs are around. in Raleigh there are 3 LFS to choose from and by luck I live around the corner from the best of the 3 one of the guys who works there sells frags www.bandkfrags.freeservers.com outside of that I don't anyone around here that even owns marine fish.

mattie Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 this a pair of tank raised percula clowns which I've had about a month ago and with luck they paired up nicely. they always stay together in the front corner of the tank Link to comment
mattie Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 I took some advice and moved some rocks away from the side glass enough to clean and the LFS had sale so add yellow poylps a cup coral, a rugosa, and zoo polyps. the Zoo was big so I fraged it into 6 pieces and I think I got a little to creative with epoxy and arch's. next month I think I'm going to frag out the rugosa and I'm might do the cup if see some results from others. I'm happy becouse the coraline is starting to thicken up and spread Link to comment
hickncali Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 looking great, i really like how you showed the progress. That is something that i always like to look back at on all my tanks, its just amazing how you dont really realize it as it happens. Link to comment
Dennis_said Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Yeah, the progress is awesome Link to comment
mattie Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 added turbinaria frag today took out 5lbs LR bashed it into small piecees and put it in the fuge to make room for new additions for the future removed emerald crab( was eating zoo's) xenia is getting huge gonna frag it out soon not to sure about the (mycedium ) green cup coral in the middle I think it's to big and it keeps shedding slime to keep itself clean Link to comment

brad65 Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 My advice, GET RID OF THE XENIA ASAP. Trust me, my grows so fast and its so hard to remove, even the smallest piece left from it will start growing. check the picture out, that was a year ago, I've cut it back numorous times since, just keeps growing and growing.
