drgibby Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 The top down pic is very nice! I never saw the midnight princess, thats a cool coral. Im so happy with this tank. It took a long time to get it to where it is at. The midnight princess favities was one of the first corals i got for it. The zoas and pipe organ around it were just overshadowing it now i hope it becomes more focal on the other side of the tank 2 Quote Link to comment

drgibby Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 on a side note.. bristleworms are everywhere! Its not a bad thing as they do the corals no harm its just there are so many id love to get rid of a few. The problem is my only option might be a trap. As the tank is so small all the worm eating fish need more space or are semi aggressive and i dont want the firefish to die.. is it sad i have really thought about putting a 6 line in there just to let him eat worms and then take him back to the store.... Whats NR opinion on how to get rid of a couple or keep the population in check. Quote Link to comment

Whats NR opinion on how to get rid of a couple or keep the population in check. I would consider doing that with the six line. If you get a small one they would feast on the worms, and then you could trade him back for store credit. Quote Link to comment

Im so tempted with the six line. the store has some little ones as well.. someone talk me out of this as i dont want to get rid of my clown and disturb all the tanks. I also got in contact with Darwin from legendary corals and he said they will mail the Legendary santa Christmas frag pack at the begning of the year!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

drgibby Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 So i want a bigger tank... im scowering the internet hoping to find something im almost ready just to order the cadlight tank for like 800 but i know my wife will kill me.. if i could just find something that will work for around 500 i dont think i will be tooo dead.. I would love the red sea reefer system but the money is just to much for me. I feel my corals are getting to big for this tank especially my acan and micromussa. 20161228_091100 by drgibby, on Flickr as the acan gets bigger the micromussa gets smaller.. i have a feeling they are not getting along and i can't really separate them very well 20161228_091040 by drgibby, on Flickr 2 Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Have you looked into the sca aquariums? Some very nice tanks for very resonable. Quote Link to comment
drgibby Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 I have looked at them..My problem is i want more longer then wide and SCA most the tanks that are affordable or in my Gallon range are all cubed.. Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 sooo Darwin has said that they will ship the corals at the beginning of the year!!! Common 2017!! Christmas frag pack im sooo excited. Woo hoo! Btw, did you ever get the six line? I used a bristleworm trap in my 10g but it only got a few. But I don't have many any more, I suspect thanks to Doug the puffer. Quote Link to comment

But I don't have many any more, I suspect thanks to Doug the puffer. I have been dragging my feet on the six line because i really do think 4g is so small for it even if it was really small and the only resident and also to do it i would need to trade in the clowns and move the firefish to the 10g and that just sounds like a lot of work. I thought about doing a trap but fear it would take forever and i would need to make the smallest trap ever to fit in the 4g 1 Quote Link to comment

I reached the same conclusion too 1 Quote Link to comment
drgibby Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Water change day was yesterday so i snapped a few pictures. I have 2 groups of zoas on the right side of the tank that for the last week just haven't opened. no clue why. Im not sure if there is a pest or if the bristleworms are becoming a menace..or they just decided to be angry.. 20170104_092545 by drgibby, on Flickr compared to the left side of the tank which is more then happy 20170104_092554 by drgibby, on Flickr Legendary corals shipped there product yesterday and it arrived today in our cold cold weather.. i was a little nervous for them but they seem to be opening so thats good. here is what they sent 20170105_094755 by drgibby, on Flickr and this is after a dip and a little bit of acclimation 20170105_104150 by drgibby, on Flickr Also im in the market for a bigger tank i think... Kat is selling hers but shes just to far away for me to justify the drive... 2 Quote Link to comment
