Felicia Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 That pink one needs to go in the main tank...purdy. It would eat her green banded gobies! I caught a cool picture just now. All 5 of my sexy shrimp were chilling together Too cute! I really like those little guys...or well, maybe girls since Brad calls them "the sluts" Link to comment
Paigee Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I really like the light pink/green nem So delicate looking. Love the new stuff Link to comment
MeanGreenEyes Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm more than happy to share when it splits...if you guys are interested Absolutely...just pm me when it's available and we'll work out $ and shipping... Link to comment
M&C Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Love this. I was completely uninterested in macros before taking a look at your frag tank and what it has now turned into. Link to comment
cableguy69846 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 This is an awesome tank. Off the beaten path and well executed. Absolutely stunning. P.S. Did I see a FW planted tank the background of a couple of pics? Link to comment
msscha Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Really cool pic of sexies -- is the nem a maxi? Not sure I have room in the tank for one of those, but such a cool looking creature! Link to comment
banshee Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looks awesome Gena! I'm looking to get a maxi for my pico and then maybe I'll get some sexies for it! It's fish-free so I don't have to worry about it eating them! Also, do you think a soap dish would keep my emeralds away from the macros? I'm thinking about putting one in my pico to keep the emeralds from devouring them if I can find one small enough! Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Just gotta say that your sexy's are sexy! Link to comment
gena Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 I really like the light pink/green nem So delicate looking. Love the new stuff Thanks! I do too I wish they would get big though!!!! They are staying pretty small. I guess it's taking them awhile to settle in. They aren't really moving so that's a good thing. I'd like them to stay where they are! Absolutely...just pm me when it's available and we'll work out $ and shipping... Will do! Love this. I was completely uninterested in macros before taking a look at your frag tank and what it has now turned into. Thanks! I'm glad I got you interested in them. I'm a plant person (you should see my backyard) so it just makes sense for me to have a planted saltwater aquarium. This is an awesome tank. Off the beaten path and well executed. Absolutely stunning. P.S. Did I see a FW planted tank the background of a couple of pics? Thanks, cableguy!!!!! It is a FW planted to the left. Here are the two side-by-side: And just the FW planted (That's food floating at the top, just fed them): Really cool pic of sexies -- is the nem a maxi? Not sure I have room in the tank for one of those, but such a cool looking creature! Yep...it's a maxi. They get pretty big. I think you need to keep them fairly isolated from other corals, but maxis can touch other maxis. Just like mushrooms can touch each other. Looks awesome Gena! I'm looking to get a maxi for my pico and then maybe I'll get some sexies for it! It's fish-free so I don't have to worry about it eating them! Also, do you think a soap dish would keep my emeralds away from the macros? I'm thinking about putting one in my pico to keep the emeralds from devouring them if I can find one small enough! As long as you're fish free in the pico, it will work out perfectly. Maxis and sexies go hand-in-hand! I also think a soap basket would keep your emeralds away...as long as they can't climb in by scaling some rock up to it. Keep some distance between the rock and basket. Just gotta say that your sexy's are sexy! ________ I got a couple of more macros in today. Fauchea, which is a neat deep red with blue. And, Red Bone which looks like a birdsnest coral when it gets big!!!!!!! Here are some new photos I took today too: FTS 5-16-12 Left side: Right side: Dragon's Breath (really growing a lot): Red Bone: Fauchea: That's all for today...... Link to comment
banshee Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 How did you get them to attach to the rock? Link to comment
gena Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 How did you get them to attach to the rock? The red bone came attached to a tile, so putty and superglue. The seller recommended super glue for the fauchea too, so that's what I did. I added a little putty on that as well for extra sticking power Link to comment
banshee Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I can't wait to have a macro forest too! It's so beautiful! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Love it ... we still need to figure out what the red and green macro is. So the clippings from the red look like they are doing great just zip tied together like that? I was wondering how it was doing. Everything looks wonderful and happy. Link to comment
gena Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 I can't wait to have a macro forest too! It's so beautiful! Thanks you! Is yours just going to be in the pico, or in the new 40B too? So far so good with my macros. I'm feeling pretty confident about maintaining this tank long-term. Love it ... we still need to figure out what the red and green macro is. So the clippings from the red look like they are doing great just zip tied together like that? I was wondering how it was doing. Everything looks wonderful and happy. I found the names, I think. The green is codium and the red is Wishbone which is a gracilaria sp. Que bonita! Gracias, mi amigo Link to comment
msscha Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The macro forest is just so stunning -- what great color!! Where are you ordering them from? Not sure I have room for much more, but wow, that red bone is sooooo cooooool. Link to comment
Felicia Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Its all so colorful, Gena! I've never been that interested in macros, but I guess I didn't realize how many colors there are. I love the pink and green theme in your main tank, but the rainbow colors going on in here are just as gorgeous! Link to comment
cableguy69846 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Both tanks look awesome. I too, am also a planted tank nerd, and have a soft spot for mosses and tetras. Are you planning any other fauna in the Macro tank? Link to comment
banshee Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I think I'm going to have macros in all tanks once they grow enough. I just have to figure out which tank will be the 'starter' tank for growing them out! I went looking for soap dishes tonight and only found white ones. I'll have to try somewhere else tomorrow for the clear ones. As an aside, stop by my 14G thread and see my new baby! Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Some of the macros look like corals, you got me thinking! Link to comment
