Nick's Reef Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Well I took pics of the new fish and pretty much everything else in the tank, here they are. Green Toadstool Was supposed to be of the chromis but they swam off, still a good pic of the leather. Sunset Monti Angry cause I knocked it over with the mag-float. Forestfire Digi Mean Greens Aussie Prism German Blue Digi Putting on some nice growth. Toadstool and Chromis Hammer Rics Acans PD Tri-Color Chromis Blastos Crappy video of chromis that's all for now, going to get the pom-pom soon! Link to comment

Nick's Reef Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Great pix Nick! how are the blue hornets? I have 2 that look like they wil not make it Thanks, the blue hornets are just fine, still have all 4 polyps. Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well maria I think you jinxed me on the blue hornets! The next day they looked ucky and today only one poylp left all shriveled up covered un white fuzzy stuff. I tossed them out. On the other hand besides some fuzzy red slime like algae from overdosing the reef biofuel, everthing is doing fantastic and it really makes me feel good after losing some of my favortie sps. My garf bonsai is encrusting like mad along with the tri-color. My sunset has put on decent growth since chopping the tile it was on up to get rid of that wiry maroon algae all of us have it seems like, there's still some that I need to keep scraping off. My german blue digi has exploded as I said in the last set of pics, and my spongodes I thought I'd lose is pretty much back to normal except when it colored back up it got even more neon green on the base! The red planet I'm iff on, it doesn't have as much pe as it used to but is turning a ver light pink/peach color instead of the bone white it was a month ago. My chromis are all still alive, the mandarin is really putting on wheight and chubby, but not like my dad's green mandarin that actually has an "beer belly" or in this case a "brine belly" lol. Als say the jawfishe at for the first time since I fed him the night i got him which was nice. Next weekend there's a frag swap so I'm going to that and what I do get I'm being very cautious with as the stuff I got at the last one mostly died due to my stupidity and not mounting them perfectly straight up or laying down. Still have all the best stuff i got except the abro which is known to be a hard to keep acro after reading a few posts by ez and tj. Link to comment

Awe man that sucks, I think I'd cry if that happened to me. I was about to throw my red planet at the wall but knew it had pe and should come back. Hows the superman? Has it finally grown? I remember last time it just wouldn't grow. Hope your tort comes back good as new. Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 well swap is a no go, fishing a tournament benefitting florida oceanagraphic. It's photo and rslease for snook, tarpon, reds, trout, sheephead, black drum, pompano, and flounder with a special prize for largest treasure coast slam (snook, red, trout, tarpon) and any of the above fish on fly except for tarpon which doesn't go by longest fish but by most releases. Gonna be fun. Hopefully will catch at least one fish that qualifies for an award, I really don't care if I win (well I do) just don't wanna catch nothing but jacks or ladyfish, i wanna shot at this thing.

got2envy Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Good luck at the tournament Nick! sounds like a lot of fun there will be other frag swaps.... Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Good luck at the tournament Nick! sounds like a lot of fun there will be other frag swaps.... Thanks, josh ended up getting 3rd place for sheepshead. as for the tank I've had this nasty maroon fuzzy crap for awhile, it's from overdosing the reef biofuel I think. I stopped dosing about 5 days ago. Another problem might be that I didn't do a water change for a month, but did one now. I cut the lights for three days and it did knock it back a bit.

davidr2340 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 It's from the Reef Fuel for sure bro! I was warned by the LFS I bought my bottle from!!! Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 David ur right, it was from the reef biofuel, just like last week did I it go away. Took alot of water changes and scraping the rocks with a tooth brush. Nothing has changed really except the jawfish jumped, 1 chromis got beat to death, and I added a new clown which the female proceded to beat the crap our of then chase into the overflow box where it got sucked to the return pump. Also got a baybies breath or whatever you call it favia. Link to comment
