Aquabacs Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 wow mate that last pic there is stunning. Thanks Stephen! It is one of my favorite corals. Mike Link to comment
Aquabacs Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Still working on the Aquascaping, I think it is coming along well. Gorgonians are are starting to open up since I transferred them from my 24. Mike Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 What growth do you get out of the balano? I really want a piece, but there isn't much info I can find. Link to comment
Aquabacs Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 What growth do you get out of the balano? I really want a piece, but there isn't much info I can find. I have grown 2 full polyps and one baby polyp in the last year. It produces heads like Dendrophyllia and Tubastrea just seems a lot slower though. I have heard a few people with single polyps that haven't been able to produce any more polyps. I bought a single polyp this week and see how long it takes to produce additional polyps.

Aquabacs Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Awesome, thanks for the reply. Where did you get yours? It was the first one that Live Aquaria brought in. Mike Link to comment
mew Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I love your gorgonians~ I've got my lfs on the lookout for gorgs like those, but I'm still playing the waiting game so far! Seems that azoox will be the new SPS of the past. Link to comment

Seems that azoox will be the new SPS of the past. Thanks! I hope to see Azoo aquarium keeping pick up but I doubt it will pick up as quickly as SPS coral keeping did. The secret to finding beautiful Azoo corals is building a good relationship between your lfs and online vendors. They will look out for you. My friends know what I look for and will email, call or tweet me when something is available but you have to have patience. Certain corals, fish, and inverts are only available during certain seasons of the year. Me for an example, I am waiting on a certain fish, two were shipped into the country the first time last year and I will wait as long as I have to get one. Mike Link to comment
Aquabacs Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Just got emailed from a friend, this just came in andis shipping out to me on monday. Hint: It is not orange (hope it survives the shipping) Mike Link to comment
Aquabacs Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Just transferred over two of my Crinoids Mike Link to comment
Aquabacs Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 I have been tweeking my feeding, 80% of my gorgonians are staying open all day. Above is a picture of my favorite gorgonian. It is a white with red polyp West African Echinogorgia sp. My Balanophyllia was really expanded today so I grabbed a quick pic of it. Mike Link to comment
weeber Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 probably my fav NPS tank Link to comment
Aquabacs Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 probably my fav NPS tank You are too kind. Thank you. Mike Link to comment
Billdemart Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 @Marteen Thank you Before anyone asks.... Why red light? Besides red light being visually different and not something everyone is accustom to seeing. Red lighting can be used to view nocturnal invertebrates without disturbing them since it seems that most can not see red light. Mike Very cool..... Link to comment

Mike I picked up something very special today. The fish I have been waiting for became available. I should have in my possession on Wednesday if all goes well. Ellerkeldia rubra Mike Link to comment
Aquabacs Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Ellerkeldia rubra has arrived! The picture does not do this fish justice. It has beautiful yellow markings all over the lower half of it's face and is an amazing fish. Took a quick picture with my point and shoot. Once I get my new lens in for my camera I will shoot a few.

Uhuru Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Very cool! What other fish are going in this tank? Also, how are you tweaking your feeding? Link to comment
Aquabacs Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Very cool! What other fish are going in this tank? Also, how are you tweaking your feeding? Thanks! I have a few Parvulus Cardinals in the tank but I dont know how long they will last with him. I have a few people on the lookout for something special for my tank if it comes along but otherwise I am content on having just this fish. It is an extremely interesting fish but also semi-aggressive. The feeding is coming along and has been tweeked well. I have to observe it for a period of time before I adjust. I am looking into adding a couple of other foods into the mix. One might be a new food from FM, I should find by the end of next week. Also I am looking into trying frozen Coral Food from H2O. I have heard some good thing about it from a few Azoo reefers on e-coralia. Mike Link to comment
