Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 I'm finally starting to get the good growth from my pink pocillopora that I've seen from the green one... It's body is a nice orange... Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 New growth from my nonphotosynthetic orange Swiftia gorgonian... I have been very happy with this guy doing well... Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 My red ball sponge that came back from the dead. Never throw away a sponge unless it's ALL dead... this guy is coming back strong... great for those shaded areas... Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 My tabletop frag from a little over month encrusting the base and showing new growth... Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 Same table but from the top... this guy will hopefully be one of the centerpieces when the 180 gets going... Link to comment
drdrew Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 fantastic...howabout a whole tank shot? Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 Drdrew thanks a lot... I have plenty of other shots, including a full tanker, in my other thread... I'm happy to answer questions or post pics of something that isn't shown, but I just want to keep from being too repetitive. I'll try and get another full tank shot up next week, but the one in my other thread is pretty current. These few new shots are of stuff I haven't posted in a while or that have shown a big change. Anyway until I get the new ones up here's the link again... http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=11234 Thanks again... Johnny Link to comment
JIM27 Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 That green stag and orange cap are cool. Keep up the good work dude. Link to comment
danano Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Beautiful corals and pics! What more can I say Johnny, do you super glue your frags onto the LR? Super glue gel? That's what I use. Is your centerpiece SPS a tricolour acro? Very nice Awesome!!! Also, agree with 100 percent on this site... a fantastic resource and community for nanoreefers. Dan Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 Thanks fellas... Dan I have been using a super glue gel also, as I like the consistency much better. They are all cyanoacrylate of different consistencies, and I found a brand of gel that I like the consistency of. I have also the two part puddy but that has proved useless in my nano settings for many reasons. I do have a tricolor in my tank, but I don't know if it's the centerpiece. Which one were you referring to? The tricolor acro is all the way to the right with the pink tips (there's a few pics of it in my other thread). Thanks again Dan and may I say that seeing your thread almost tempted me into making room for a derasa or crocea, but I'm stopping at my 4 Johnny Link to comment
danano Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Well, once you setup your 180g, you won't have to think twice about the derasa or crocea I hope to setup a custom 20g or 30g (w/ a 10g fuge) as a 'grow-out' tank soon. I expect that some of the clams and SPS will outgrow the nano within the next 6 to 12 months and will need a new home . Dan Link to comment
Sir MArcus Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Johnny, I'm sorry to interupt your thread, but I figured you are the one to go to on this one. When I came home today I noticed something wierd happening to my Acropora. It seems to be shedding it's outer layer. I don't know if anything is wrong. All my water parameters are fine. I dose with Kent Marine Iodine, Strotium & Molybdenum, Tech CB Calcium Buffers A & B and Coral- vite. I also supplement with Spectra-Vital. I'm uploading some pics for you. (If you could give me some pointers on the digi-cam I would be grateful.) Thanks again. Link to comment
Sir MArcus Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Sorry about the lousy pics. (I hope to get better.) Here's another angle. I Tried to move it higher in the water colom today but I found that it attached itself to the LR. Could that be what caused this? Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 Happy to help Marcus... can you tell me how long you've had it and a little about the setup it's in first. Also, I believe from the pics it is bleaching and not receding. Is there still tissue in the white areas? I'll try to help but realize that tissue necrosis and bleaching can be caused by many things. As I've said before it's almost like saying, "I came home and found my roomate dead... what happened doctor?" We'll try and get there... how long's the tank been up, and how long have you had the acropora? Johnny Link to comment
jdsabin1 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Originally posted by Brooklyn Johnny Dan I have been using a super glue gel also, as I like the consistency much better.

I have 5 frags of hardy SPS coming this Friday and would like to have my gel ready to go. I can use the gel to glue the SPS frags to pieces of LR right? Thanks! Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 sabin I'll check tonight when I get home from work... although all of the gels are probably about the same, of course making sure it is indeed cyanoacrylate. I'll get back... Yes they are for sps frags. I have used this gel underwater and it works pretty well. It does take some practice and getting used to, but most frags are pretty forgiving and will grow back over the glued parts, however messy, if provided the right conditions. Johnny Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 Here's the glue I prefer Sabin... Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 Here's the back where it shows it's cyanoacrylate... follow the warning and don't attempt to glue your eyes shut...??? Johnny Link to comment
