Roc! Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 when I was doing CO2 injection and using the high lights I dosed 40% H20 change-weekly 3/4Tsp-KN03 3x a week 3/16Tsp-KH2P04 3x a week 1/4Tsp-K2S04 3x a week 3/16Tsp or 15ml -Florish 3x a week 4-8ml- Plantex CSM+B - 3x a week However now that I have cut the lights in half and cut the CO2 I only dose these amounts 1 time per week with a 20% water change Link to comment
c est ma Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Beautiful FW planteds, Iroc! It would be a wrench if I had to tear down that 55. But I have to admit, I keep eyeing my 10g FW as a potential reef... --Diane Link to comment

But I have to admit, I keep eyeing my 10g FW as a potential reef... --Diane I think I kinda outgrew the planted tank world, the little 7 gal shrimp tank is enough for me at this point. I am trying to figure out the best way to break it down so I can sell everything off, but would like to sell it all to one person. Link to comment
Roc! Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 I decided to post up a couple of new rics I got (waiting on the FTS until after my clubs frag swap this weekend) I got this neon orange ric and this neon blue ric on a single frag plug at an LFS last weekend for 40.00 (I had a 25.00 credit and I never shop there anymore so it was actually 15.00 ) Here is a shot of the ric/yuma garden Link to comment

Roc! Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 And the FTS everyone keeps asking for Link to comment
Roc! Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Well it has been awhile since I posted ( I had a GHA issue) but for the most part it has been cleared up and the tank is ready to contunie it's photo essay. I removed about 10 lbs of raock last weekend as the tank was getting very hard to clean, the rock went into my sump so all is not lost if I decide to move some back. I also made sure that the fomation was a lot more sturdy as I keep having a reoccuring dream that all my rocks fell over and killed all my corals. I haven't decided if the ric's and yuma are going to stay in the sand bed but since I always see ppl put them there I thought I would give it a shot..... Some of the corals are still recovering from the move some where out of my disply tank longer then I had wanted but my wife had a flase labor while I was in the middle of all of this and I had to make sure she was OK before I went back to fish stuff. more to come as everything opens up Link to comment
c est ma Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Nice to get an update! Looks like things are continuing to prosper for you...that fts is beginning to acquire some signs of maturity... For my money, the rics on the sand look a bit cluttered, but it is true that they often do well on the substrate. I did think they looked wonderful when you had them on your rock, though. Sure a great ric collection you have there! So you're expecting a little one, eh? --Diane Link to comment

I have some frags that after I get rid of them I might try to spead them out a bit before I move them back up to a rock. Yea this will be my 3rd boy, wife was due last tuesday so she is pretty much just ready to have him out Link to comment
