reefrook Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 that is an awesome price for all of those. LuckyThose frags are great looking. I really hope to get me a yumas yea.. i got a great deal. i don't think i'm ever buying corals from lfs's ever again... just way too overpriced. but yea, get some yumas...they're so sick! i think my orange yuma is the best looking coral in my tank thus far.

redkneecoral Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 i know what ya mean of overpriced at lps, but there is only one store I still buy from and he is CHEAP but good corals. If you ever get a chance to post a pic of your orange yuma, i would love to see it Link to comment
reefrook Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 If you ever get a chance to post a pic of your orange yuma, i would love to see it actually there's a pic (a bad one) above of the orange ric next to a purple one. Link to comment

reefrook Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 my gf just bought a new camera so i thought i'd take some pics. a couple days ago i picked up some orange bam bams and 1 polyp of fire and ice. i think there's a polyp of a lunar eclipse or something right in front, not sure though not really sure what this green thing is... a shot of my sand bed that's quickly disappearing and on the left is that fire and ice i picked up most recent fts Link to comment

latteslave Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Your tank is looking GREAT! Very clean. The Yuma's are awesome... Link to comment
BlueAbyss Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Amazing! +1 on the tank looking very clean. Link to comment
opy01 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 +2 lol I wish my tank looked that clean (stupid lazy snails). That is a crazy shroom, I want one! I like your yumas also. Link to comment
reefrook Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 tank is lookin not so clean anymore. noticed red slimy stuff all over the rocks and sand. tested my parms and my ammonia was way too high. i think something died...and i'm thinking it was my yasha since i haven't seen him in a couple days. even during feeding time only the pistol comes out. he must've gotten crushed underneath a rock or something while the pistol was burrowing. just a theory.... in any case, i gotta get rid of this cyano. so i siphoned it all out and did a 50% water change. hopefully the only reason for the cyano was the dead yasha, and after a couple water changes it will go away. i've always had little spots of cyano here and there but never this much....

asting Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sad about the Yasha, but the tank looks like AMAZING! Link to comment
redkneecoral Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 sorry to hear of your lost. Your tank looks great, loves how clear it looks, wish mine looked like that. Your rics has a good size to them. Link to comment
reefrook Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Sad about the Yasha, but the tank looks like AMAZING! yea... that guy was awesome. i was so close to buying a catalina goby today to replace him but came to my senses and decided to take care of my cyano problem first. sorry to hear of your lost. Your tank looks great, loves how clear it looks, wish mine looked like that. Your rics has a good size to them. yea... i just realized what a nice size they were when i added two more yumas today that looked like little babies compared to them. oh well, i'll just keep spot feeding them till they get to a good size Link to comment
reefrook Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 met up with some local reefers and got me some new corals pokerstar montipora mohawks blue cloves (somebody likes em already!) here's a pic of those two yumas i got a couple days ago... not too impressive now though. hopefully they'll grow more color with a little tlc Link to comment
redkneecoral Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I tell you this mate, you sure do get some awesome looking corals. Makes the ones I have looking kinda plain lol. Congrats on your new corals. Looking forward on seeing how your yumas will turn out, good i am sure. I like your mohawk. thwe monti sure is a beauty Link to comment

Congrats on your new corals. Looking forward on seeing how your yumas will turn out, good i am sure. I like your mohawk. thwe monti sure is a beauty thanks! but all the credit goes to the reefers around chicago. without them i wouldn't have as nearly as many corals as i do cause quite frankly, i wouldn't be able to afford buying through the LFS or online retailers. but yea..it's time you post some updated pics of your 15 gal!

latteslave Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Sorry about the Yahsa! I love those yuma's - really hoping they turn around for you... Still think your tank is looking FAB! Link to comment
mew Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 sorry about the yasha but good decision on the catalina. they shouldn't be in our tropical tanks anyways. Link to comment
reefrook Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 sorry about the yasha but good decision on the catalina.they shouldn't be in our tropical tanks anyways. i was about to ask why not? but i just looked it up myself. catalina gobies are a cold water species. good thing i didn't get him then... now i'm wondering if the lfs even knows this or if they just don't care Link to comment
opy01 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Congrats on the new corals, they look great! Alot of LFS just get shipments in and they know what the names are then sell them. There are some out there that know what they are talking about but alot of them seem to be people that need a job that are learning themselves. Link to comment
anstar Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 are some out there that know what they are talking about but alot of them seem to be people that need a job that are learning themselves. +1. Nice Mohawks Reefrook! Link to comment
