Uhuru Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Is that a scelornephthya? How is it doing? What are you currently doing for feeding? Check out this vid of the non-photo tank at AOP Link to comment
mew Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 NICE! Can we get a side shot? Sure, I'll take a few sometime this week. Stay tuned... Is that a scelornephthya? How is it doing? What are you currently doing for feeding? Check out this vid of the non-photo tank at AOP Not too sure on the ID, it was sold as a typical "carnation coral". i'll be borrowing nips' book on them to figure it out. It'd be fantastic if it's a stereonepthya but I somehow doubt. We'll see. As of right now, I'm using the syringe pump for a mixture of roti-feast, some of this Phyto paste. I add by hand freeze-dried cyclopeeze, frozen mysis, some reef chili, and a pinch of GP diet. I need to place a FM order soon, within the week or two. Wowee a video of that tank~ That AOP tank is a hands down favorite. I'm still trying to figure out why I haven't visited this tank in person, considering it's right here in my neighborhood. Thanks for the link! The write-up on the system is awesome. Link to comment
Uhuru Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 From a distance, it looks like scleronetphthya... The AOP tank is one of the first places I need to visit next time I'm in So. Cal. Link to comment
mew Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 A few shots of the corals in there now: So I figured out that the African gorgonian I had is actually non-photosynthetic, despite LiveAquaria's claim that it was photosynthetic. When it was in my other tank, it never had the polyps open and it wasn't doing well. I decided to throw it into the NPS tank and bam, full polyp extensions and it stopped all tissue loss. So I guess it'll be staying in this tank. And here's the sideshot I promised. Sorry I didn't get to clean up before I took the shot, been super busy with school. As you can see, I still need to fill up the tank a little more, work on the tinting, and I should probably move the koralia to the other side. Things to do, not enough time. Story of my life.

spanko Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Is that a filter pad waded up in the sump area? If so how do you get at it to replace or clean it? Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 looks good.... any plans fer a substrate? maybe some rubble? Link to comment
mew Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 there's a removable cover to the sump area, i just have to lift the cover, and stick my hand in to take it out. I used it to help seed my tank mostly, I think I'm probably going to just remove it soon. I don't see myself as having the diligence of rinsing it enough to keep it from being a nitrate factory. thanks pismo. I'm thinking i'll add sand. Since it's easier to add sand than to remove it, I figured I'll run it for a few weeks without sand just to see how I like it. Link to comment

mew Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 so I'm probably DQ'd from the contest. I decided to sump the tank, cause hooge skimmer > daily wc. i've been wayyy too busy to do even regular wcs. I think I've got too much orange going on in my tank now. :/ Anyone want to trade a red sponge for an orange one? Some cool weird hitchhiker. Link to comment
bitts Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 here's hoping that your not dq'ed. Link to comment
Kittysnax Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 lookit mew with the all professional profile and whatnot! ROFL! Love the tank ^_^ Link to comment
mew Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 woo, well, even tho I'm not in the contest, the tank continues. I just realized that it's been a REALLY long time since I updated! So here's what's been going on for the past... whatever months. I decided there was just way too much rock in the tank. It was making me very unhappy. So I took out 2/3 of the rock, and replaced it with.... Rock-mag! Awesome discovery that gave me my tank space back. It's held onto the black acrylic wall by magnets. I also added 10 lbs of sand. Looking much better, agreed? I should've gone with sand from the start. I don't know why I pushed off sand for so long. I got a colony of dying suncorals for free. It was really rather sad. Some of it is bouncing back, coming out to eat (sometimes). There's definitely visible growth. Just a game of patience with this fellow I guess. Enough talk, on to pictures! Frontal FTS! Side FTS! Macro section Like my pride rock? I have a few more macros on the other side of the rocks, but too lazy to get them in the pic too. I need more macros! Send me your macroz~ Or maybe I should plant some GSP on the top acrylic portion instead. What I'm not happy about is that there's too much orange/yellow in my tank. Not a good balance of colors. Thinking of giving away the orange sponge, and finding more pink/red/blue to put in my tank. Link to comment
Maeda Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Who cares about contests when you already know you've got nothing to prove. Your tank is awesome-sauce. Link to comment
