TUDIZZLE Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 ric finally split and is now making a run to the other side of the rock also have been watching this zoa pop outta a colony of others, real purty orange edges with a tanish yellow center. it finally got a foothold and produced a few others. I plucked out a couple and mounted them today. Will have to follow and see how long it takes for them to take off. they seem like slow growers...unlike these. I put the 5 large polyps on a rock like 3 weeks ago. A whole row of babies popped up at the same time! same zoas...another clump of six I put down the same day..already growing like weeds Link to comment
divecj5 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Wow man....great news on the zoas and the ric. My ric did the same thing once it split. Now the two heads are about as far away from each other as possible on the same rock. Pretty weird isn't it? That last picture is great....that one polyp looks MASSIVE compared to the others. Looks like it just got done nestling up to an all you can eat buffet for a couple hours Link to comment

TUDIZZLE Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Well ballast on my nanotuners upgrade went out today. Called them and they have a new one on the way. It is still under factory warranty and I can send it back to the manufacturer but it's less than tenty bucks so I will probably just toss it. Like that I can call directly...have a person answer... and get what I needed in one phone call. damnn...should of ordered new bulbs while I was at it! Link to comment
divecj5 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Sorry to hear about the ballast cr*pping out . From what I've heard Nanotuners has GREAT customer service. I agree that it's nice to have someone to call and know that they will answer the phone and help out. How are things on the Tudizzle Reef otherwise? Link to comment
TUDIZZLE Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 just waiting for the new ballast to show...should be tomorrow. Crazy how dark the tank is...if you have not upgraded your lights...do it now. Feels like a dark cloud has been perched over my tank for the last two days. Link to comment
TUDIZZLE Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 new ballast going in today....the storm will pass! Link to comment

Dooderino Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Amazing to see the growth. Your tank was good inspiration for mine! Link to comment
TUDIZZLE Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 thanks dood...so many inspirational tanks on here! Have not had a post in a bit but have been lurking..keeping an eye on everyone's tanks! Finally got around to replacing my bulbs...holly brightness! One had actually burned out so it was time to get'er done! Both my kids and the wifey thought I had done something new to the tank. I was really surprised at the difference. I guess as it slowly and gradually fades you don't notice. The tank hasn't "popped" like this in a long time. Did not have time to grab any pics but I will tomorrow. Got some really nice new zoas last week..pics of those to follow as well Also got the ULTIMATE frag...by far my nicest piece! You just can't find stuff like this in any reef tank. More pics and the whole story tomorrow when I have more time.................. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Awesome...glad to hear from you again....was starting to wonder Can't wait for some pics. Link to comment
TheTomaj Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 How long after setting up ur tank.. did/do u start adding coral ? Link to comment
TUDIZZLE Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 I use cured LR and LS and I waited about a month before adding coral. It all depends on how long it takes your particular tank to cycle. I think these days you can push the envelope but 4-6 weeks seems to be the average time. just remember the longer you wait the better "base" you are building up. Then add corals at a slow pace, enjoy each new edition and research your next purchase. Lots of great tanks and memebers here to get good info from.. Link to comment
TUDIZZLE Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 here is a quick pic of zoa can't seem to get one that shows how bright it really is still need a gooder of the ULTMATE frag...but it's coming Link to comment
