bottyfish Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Picked up two coco worms and a pink Goniopora palmensis or Goniopora burgosi (can't really tell) from someone leaving the hobby. Ive read that these corals don't make it more than a year but Ive done my research and hopefully I can get this beauty to thrive. seems most can do well with a mixture of phyto and frozen cyclopeez juice. Here are some pics with ati blue+ and MH 20k on. Link to comment
bottyfish Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 The new beauty has had some time to settle in and has started to extend... Just under the ati no MH Link to comment

louphoenix Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 The new beauty has had some time to settle in and has started to extend... Just under the ati no MH I wish you luck with it. As others have tried, I've attempted to keep gonies alive a few times and after each failure, i've concluded that some corals just aren't meant to be in a tank. I hope yours is the exception to the rule, it is beautiful! Link to comment

I hope yours is the exception to the rule, it is beautiful! Thanks, If it was at the LFS I wouldn't have bought it knowing the risk and price involved. But the gentlemen was shutting down his tank and gave me an offer I could not resist These people seem to have done some research and not only keep alive but actually able to frag... http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2005/10/aafeature2 Link to comment

bottyfish Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Got a RBTA with green center and snowflake pattern, it has fitted nicely in between the liverock. Updated FTS 03_06_2010 Link to comment
bottyfish Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Replaced the clear sheet of acrylic that housed the sump with a black sheet. The light was kinda bright during the night. The ATS seems to be forming more cyno rather than algae. But since the use of it, I have no been scrubbing algae off my glass and the phosphate levels are 0. Link to comment
