brian92 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 The skeleton looks like it's... decomposing. Edit: The good news is that I think this is enough of a wake up call for me to go and buy a protein skimmer. Sorry to hear that wish I could help, how are the Rabbit Hole Palys doing? What are you looking at for a protein skimmer? Link to comment
CoRPS Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 The paly's are doing great. Here's a picture of one of the babies poking it's head out: And here's a badass picture I got of the orange zoas: I'm thinking a HOB Octopus, not sure which, I'll ask around and find out which would be best.

brian92 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Nice they're all looking good! You gonna be fragging those rabbit hole palys anytime soon? Link to comment
CoRPS Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I wanna see how fast they grow before I start fragging. Gimme 3-4 weeks, hopefully I'll know by then! Link to comment

CoRPS Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Cool, how does the growth seem so far? TBH I can't really tell. I mean the babies have grown a bit. But to be honest the last couple days I've been out and about and haven't spent too much time looking into my tank. I've got finals tomorrow so I've been studying and partying. Link to comment
Ocho Cinco Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Those new palys I got are opening wierd. There is one smaller polyp that is fully open but the color is not as good yet adn the larger polyp looks somewhat open but I can't see any skirt and barley any color. I don't even know how to explain it. I'll get some pics up hopefully today on my tank thread. Link to comment

Nice on the frag pack. Where did you get it from? IS the pack coming today? YOu need to check out some PPEs. I posted some pics in my tank thread of my new stuff, just letting you know.

I posted some pics in my tank thread of my new stuff, just letting you know. The pack is coming in next tuesday, I was thinking of getting a PPE or two, It's just a matter of time pretty much until I get them, I'm trying to get most of the nice People Eaters before anyother palys. So I'll probably be getting PPE in my next Paly pack I order. I'll go check out the new pics Link to comment

Ocho Cinco Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hey just a random question. How long is the tank and how is that pendent working for it? I'm having some second thoughts with running my frag tank with only PCs. I'm just afraid only using them will cut down on my growth with is my primary purpose. It seem that pendents are cheaper then whole MH fixtures. Link to comment

I'm having some second thoughts with running my frag tank with only PCs. I'm just afraid only using them will cut down on my growth with is my primary purpose. It seem that pendents are cheaper then whole MH fixtures. The tak is 30" long, the pendant works out well for me, it lights up the whole thing really well except the very far edges. It gives great growth and color on the palys and zoas, I'd say if you have the cash go for it. I got my pendant for $90 used. Post a WTB you might get an awesome deal. If I had two 150 watt pendants I feel like I wouldn't be able to shade the more sensitive palys like the PD and NG so it works out well. Link to comment

Yeah I just got the PC fixture a few weeks ago but am thinkign about getting a mh pendent if I can find a good deal like that. I'll have to try that and see what I get. Then if I do I have to sell the PC... Link to comment

brian92 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Update went to the LFS and got a fish I've had my eye for a while, A Yellow Stripe Urchin Clingfish. Acclimating him now Link to comment

Ocho Cinco Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 +1 Just google searched it, it a wierd but cool looking fish. I've never seen one before. Link to comment
brian92 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 This is a pic of one from Live Aquaria, I have been looking into getting one for a while it really is the perfect fish for what I wanted it's really unique and isn't a coral food stealing "attention whore" like my clownfish that I'm probably going to give away to a good home. I'll try to get a pic as soon as I can, its perched the maxijet pump for the remora. I'vve researched feeding techniques and I need to wean it on to a frozen diet which with a little effort shouldn't be too hard. Link to comment

brian92 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Are the expensive or rare? Nope, I would say you might have to look around a little bit to find one, but I got it for $15, bought it out of the acclimation bucket. Its very healthy and I didn't want it getting thin at the LFS from not being fed well. I'm not much of a rare fish guy, as I'm more into corals right now but this is a great fish that I'd looked into for a while. Link to comment
CoRPS Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 have you thought about getting a six line to help keep your zoas/palys clear of pests? I've heard they help a lot Link to comment
nebthet Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I was looking at getting one of those clingfish myself. Please keep us updated on how this goes. Link to comment
brian92 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I was looking at getting one of those clingfish myself. Please keep us updated on how this goes. I'll keep updated on the progress of the clingfish, it sticks to the glass most of the day and hasn't even shown interest in passing copepods. I tried feeding mysis to no avail. Right now the fish is a headache, and now I remember why I didn't want fish in my tank. But I still like it cause its a cool fish and I'm gonna do more to wean it on to prepared. Link to comment
