Truck_Under_Water Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 polyps FTS Star Polyps are spreading. Green ones are also spreading Some of the mushrooms have broken off and found different spots in the tank. Too much light and flow for them in their current location. A few small ones have popped up too. goby is getting fatter. slowly but surely. he's a very picky eater. I hope he doesnt starve himself to death. If you use firefox, you can right-click, view image and the pics are bigger. If you use IE you can just copy the image location and view it thataway i suppose. Link to comment
Truck_Under_Water Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 OK. Just got back from the LFS. This is it for livestock! I came home with a single unattached ricordea ($20 bucks - what a ripoff) and a some button polyps. i don't know what color they are cuz i'm color blind ($50). Some halimeda is attached to the same rock. A stomatella hitchhiked on same rock! button polyps polyps previously next to BSP in shell. Now in fuge/frag area/soapdish with lone ric. im hoping they'll attach themselves to rubble new scaping. definitely not zen. I really wanted some blue zoas and frogspawn and/or torch coral but i was unable to get any in time. oh well. Link to comment
Rene Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 That ric may have been pricey because it's a yuma, not a florida. But it depends on where you live, I guess. I'd still like to see some more height in that aquascape, but that's just me. Good luck! Link to comment
Truck_Under_Water Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 My yellow clown goby died yesterday. I'm assuming from malnutrition. While it would eat occasionally it would not usually be enticed to eat anything i tried to feed it. I tried. I might see if the LFS has any fish that are eating prepared/frozen food for sure. I want to SEE it eat before i try to put it in anything that is as new/small as my tank. Link to comment

FavaBean Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 tank looks good what kind of lighting are you using Link to comment
Truck_Under_Water Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Lighting is 40w Current Sattelite 50/50 PC. Link to comment
Truck_Under_Water Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 More pics. Added a clownfish beginning of the month (got it free!) Halimeda has been going nuts. Lots of coralline with good colors as well. My larger polyps don't seem to be doing as well. Perhaps not enough light. Link to comment
Truck_Under_Water Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks. This tank is as about as low budget as you can get lol Link to comment
