A.R.M12 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Looking good. I like your rock work. Don't really know what to tell you about those two corals stuck together though. Good luck Link to comment
Lawnman Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I love the RSM that is my next tank.I want the 250 but it is a little steep. So I will go with the 130d. Tank looks great.That is a GSP on the back. I am new here as well so not to clear on fragging yet.Sure someone will be along soon to help you out. I am sure the RSM God will be stopping in shortly to help. Did you order your tank online or LFS? Brad Link to comment

Brad a green star polyp was my first thought to but its coming out of the long round polyps not a purple mat. and to answer your question I got my RSM secondhand with 10# of live rock and a bunch of foods and supplements for $400 seemed like a good deal to me. unfortnently there are no red sea dealers that i know of in the St. Louis area where i live Looking good. I like your rock work. Don't really know what to tell you about those two corals stuck together though. Good luck hey i like your FNH Im a police officer so i notice those things good to have you on. thanks for the complement on the rock work. Link to comment
wmb_1983 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 time for some new pics my tank under moonlights. my new arrivals for fathers day yay a royal gramma A blue florida ric and a frogspawn and here they are after put in my tank and opened up fully. and my ric and my royal gramma (had to get him to stay still) Link to comment
wmb_1983 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 oh and also wanted to say i moved my ever green polyps down to the sand to try to contol them better im going to let them grow over one small rock out front. Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Nice new additions Sorry I missed your frag question back there. If you still want to separate them I usually use a pair of wire cutters / diagonal cutters / dikes call them what you will lol and cut the rock between them. This is easily done if the rock is thin enough. If not a dremel may be used to slice between them. Sometimes the good old hammer and chisel method can be used. I would err on the side of the polyps myself as they usually recover quite quickly IME. Should any of the purple mat from the polyps be attached scrape them off the rock and either start a new frag or discard the ( hopefully) tiny piece. HTH some. Link to comment

Feel free to PM me. Just curious, are you running the stock skimmer, and are you having any microbubble issues still? I am and people are telling me to just scrap the skimmer. Lemme know how its going with you. Link to comment
