metrokat Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 So I finally got around to taking some snapshots... These are right after the lights came on, so GSP isn't open yet. It's like the tank before it's put on it's make up, Just beautiful. Link to comment

Veng Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Tank is doing pretty well, despite my constant neglect. I think that's the secret to this hobby, if you act like you don't care, your tank will respond by looking good and then you'll start to care, and then it'll hurt your feelings again. Link to comment
markalot Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 So a tank is like a woman ............ Link to comment

Veng Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm behind on tank photos and puppy photos, so I give you a fraglet photo as tribute. Link to comment
Veng Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Oh, and Metro, the GSP on the right wall has been pissed off since last friday and is peeling off. I'm not sure what's going on with it. I found the blue knuckle hanging on it again and picking at the spot where it's peeling. Link to comment

I found the blue knuckle hanging on it again and picking at the spot where it's peeling. Hmm. maybe it has found a new way to colonize the tank. It's going to roll itself down, and move over to the front wall and unfurl... Link to comment
Veng Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Oh dear God no.... I think I'm going to get an arrow crab for a couple weeks to try to get the bristleworm popu!action in control... Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Are you noticing issues from the bristleworms? If not, I'd leave them be, they're the most useful member of your cleanup crew. Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yeah not Veng's population. Not enough tank for these monsters. Monsters. Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hey, just ck'd out your tank- I haven't seen it before-very nice- who's in a war in there- are your zoos bothering any of your SPS? But I dare say..........upgrade JK- looks great as it is - crazy growth on your glass Link to comment

But I dare say..........upgrade JK- looks great as it is - crazy growth on your glassThanks! The pavonia has sweepers I never imagined. The hammer I had to move because it ate the meteor shower it was near. The GSP... it's a weed. It's great as long as I can keep it isolated on the glass and everywhere, but... it's trying to get a serious hold on the rock and I'm not sure what to do about it. The tnak will go south if it does indeed get a hold on the rock. All the GSP you see in the tank today was a combined 2 square inches like 3 years ago. Everything on the rock to the far left was a tiny 1 sq in patch. It covered that rock, covered the glass on the left, I fragged and spreaded it to the back, after it filled the left end of the tank again, I shipped a 12"x12" piece to metro and it's already grown back again. It's a shame it's not worth anything or I'd be rich for all the GSP I could grow! There are other smaller battles as well. Pretty much anything you see in that tank that has a sweeper is sweeping at this point. I blinked and one day I reached critical mass and didn't know it. Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Nice- I hear ya- can you remove the coral from the glass easily? Ya , I am surprised who wins my battles- seems my Millepora kicks most of my other SPS butts. I've been fragging Clavularia about 3-4 times - finally traded it all in about 2 months ago- what appears this week- one small flower- stuffs like Xenia - at least my lfs will take the Clavularia on trade Link to comment

Well, the side glass. The bottom is hard to get to and if it jumps tothe rock structure then it's amess. It's trying really hard to jump right now. Link to comment

Veng Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 I need like a single row clear one that I can put at the front of my tank. Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Make it with white eggcrate and then spray it black. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Make it? what do you think I am, some kind of DIY wizard? What do you think about this one? It's a little wider than I want, but I could cut it down easy enough. http://www.marinedepot.com/Eshopps_23_Hole_Straight_Frag_Rack_Coral_Mounts_for_Saltwater_Aquariums-Eshopps-QH03511-FIMTCM-vi.html Link to comment
