nebthet Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 I am liking this new camera I am using a lot, so I am going to be sharing more pix taken from today. I also went out and bought a new critter holder home for my baby onyx clowns. It is twice as long and twice as wide, just a little shorter. I wanted to give them more room to swimm around and with the side opening design it allows much more water flow in so the babies have to swim against the current more in a couple areas. Blastos with toadstool. BTA has moved to the back right of the tank. At least it is bugging the Aiptasia for now. Mr. Blue Damsel is rather a bit out of sorts because I changed something in the tank. Big Momma checking out the juvi's in their new container. Runt and Omen checking out the space in their new home. After only a couple of weeks, the tailbar on Omen is twice as thick as it was at the end of August. Another shot of Run showing his bottom mid-bar coming in. I am rather glad the baby onyx are developing well, but I am beginning to get concerned that they do not have a lot of onyx coloration coming in right now, where other members who have received these guys from Christos Clowns have. I am hoping with the new home, which has a much larger clear plastic door on top, thus letting in more direct light, we help in the color change. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Clowns are looking great as always. Your dendros and sun corals look really cool too, I have been wanting to get some for a while. Keep updating haha Link to comment
spazizz Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I envy you and all your nice livestock. *drools* Link to comment
nebthet Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 I've been lucky with my livestock. I buy cheaper and buy frags when I can. My picasso clown was my most expensive piece of livestock at $100 canadian. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Thats good. You have a lot of really nice LPS, I want lol. Link to comment
nebthet Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well I lost my big octo frogspawn that was damaged in shipping finally. The hermit crabs just wouldn't leave it alone. So, I am thinking of replacing it with an elegance coral instead. They have one in toronto, about a 5 to 6 inch specimen for $35. So I am going to contact the guy and get it. I have done some research on them and they like less than ideal conditions, with low flow. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 They are pretty neat. Give em space though, I think they sting a lot haha Link to comment
nebthet Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 If I get it, I will be butting it up against the rockwork in the middle, but on the right side where is there is much lower flow than anywhere else in the tank. That area also gives about 6 inches away from other corals as space for sweeper tentacles. I am also getting SPS frags from another member here on Friday.I am real excited for those. Link to comment
nebthet Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Well I went to the big City today. That would be Toronto for those not from Ontario and I picked up some frags from Nematoad. Very cool dude I must say! Frags were well packaged and nicely looked after. All healed and enstrusting starting on each one. Makes frag-a-lots frags look like crapola. I was given 7 frags from Nematoads, though I only asked for $6, which was cool. Acropora Yongei aka Green Slimer Purple Monti-Cap Orange Montipora Digitata and Purple-tipped Montipora Digitata Purple slimer: the frag broke off the live rock but a piece was left on so I am gonna see what it will do. Green Bottlebrush Dendrophyllia head. It is still mad in this pic. Tentacles slowly coming out now. Inspector Morris my Cleaner shrimp. He is my first indication on whether or not any coral added to my system is healthy or not. All Nematoad frags passed with flying colors. He was done checking them all out in less than 5 minutes.

Jacobnano Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Nanobuds sent you that stuff? To canada and they made it?? Yay for new pics haha! Link to comment
nanoreefnate Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Wow. nanobud really did that? LOL AWESOMENESS. you got one cool cleaner shrimp. picking though corals to see if theyre good or not. i want one like that! Link to comment
nebthet Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Sorry Jacob no.. I ran out of battery life on this PC for my mouse so now when I go to type stuff in from another source it is trying to autofill on me and it 's driving me nuts. It was Nematoad in Toronto who I got the stuff from. I went up today and picked them up from him myself. Cheaper than paying Fedex overnight shipping. I am very happy with them. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I was gonna say, where did he get all that SPS??? Looks like good stuff, should do well! Link to comment
nebthet Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Yes, I have so Nematoad does a very good job raising his SPS!! He should be proud. They are the nicest frags I have seen around in a while. Definately no clip and ship methods used. Link to comment
nanoreefnate Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I was gonna say, where did he get all that SPS??? LOL exactly what i was gonna say! :lol: Link to comment

nebthet Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 You will be glad to know too, that all of your frags are now in polyp extension. The green slimer and purple monti cap are at half mast, but the monti digis are definately at full mast for extension. I just took more pics to show, but I will fix them up and post em tomorrow. GRINZ.. I am sooo happy. Thanks so much!! Link to comment
nebthet Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Oh.. and I forgot to not, you can already begin to see the green sheen of the bottle brush and the flouresent yellow of the yongei. So cool. Link to comment
nematoad Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 They get more colourful BTW, do you dose anything? Come back soon for some more frags - with the size of my tank and the growth I get, it's always fragging time Link to comment
nebthet Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Yeah I know, I can't wait until they do go into full color like your colonies. The only thing I dose in my tank, and only a touch of it is PurpleUp. Just a couple of drops usually once a month to give a boost, otherwise I let my water changes do what is needed. Link to comment
