Dylan.N Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 When you're late to the hermit crab shell exchange. This is at my tank in Tampa. Down here visiting for a few days. He eventually found an empty shell. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Back home in NY. Tank is doing fine. Just did a water change today. Not much to look at with no fish and only 2 corals. But Reef a Palooza is just around the corner. Link to comment

Hope all is well Tank is fine. Just got a cleaner shrimp today. Been gearing up for Reef a Palooza next weekend, so I'll be adding a bunch of corals. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Reef a Palooza was great. Just as good as the Orlando show. I got 11 frags - 4 zoas, 2 acans, 2 blastos, war coral, duncan, and torch. My wallet hurts, but my tank finally has some color. I'll try to get pics tomorrow. They are still pissed off from the coral dip. Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 From what I can tell, They all look awesome. Flower mama bought some inexpensive gel filters off Amazon that she puts in front of her camera lens. Makes a world of difference. Link to comment

Dylan.N Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Going to move the duncan this weekend. It must not like the flow because it still won't completely open up. Everything else is looking great. Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Great, now I can follow your thread too!! it's fun seeing the difference and I think some filters would also make for a creative icon or signature. Link to comment

I wasn't expecting there to be so many filters lol. I'm going to try a few of each of the main colors this weekend. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I hadn't any idea either. Then you still can couple that with how intense your lights - i don't think we'll run out of variety. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Feeding time. The crab joined the acans for dinner. Link to comment

Dylan.N Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Found my first hitchhiker today. Asterina star. Must have been on the live rock because I dip my corals, and I would have seen it before putting the frags in the tank. I'm just surprised I'm seeing it for the first time today. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 May have been growing slowly and was hidden in the rock until it got bigger and had to get out. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 After just over a month, these acans are finally looking happy. There is a weird algae growing behind them. You can see it just over the top center of the acans. No idea what it is. It has also now been over 10 weeks since my clowns died of ich. Statistically speaking, I should be safe to add fish now. I'm going to go to the 2 good stores near me tomorrow and see if either has a good looking pair. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I've been fallow for 8 when next week ends so I'll be getting the royal gramma and pygmy angel next Fri or Sat. Link to comment
