Wilioli Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 October FTS has been put up: daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangggg -- you really downplayed it bro -- amazing!! annnd i didnt mean to 'quote the pic' right after u posted ur pic... lol my bad Link to comment
.Newman. Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 no problem. 28 frags were added for $150 (I will not be buying any more coral, especially not for this tank, too busy as it is). the $150 included overnight shipping costs. this means that each frag was less than $5. a bargain really compared to the same frags sold at my LFS for $30 a piece! Plus I would even find 1/2 of these types of coral at my LFS, so why even bother going to LFS for corals lol. I think it was a good deal, and i dont mind that i spent so much. The only upcoming spending for this tank will probably be its inverts: 2x Porcelain crabs 1x Clam 1x Big Feather Duster those are probably going to cost $86 plus shipping x_x But I am not getting them any time soon. maybe next spring.

Wilioli Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 lets see if you can hold out till next spring.. lol.. well i dunno how well disciplined u are.. lol u just might be able to wait till spring -- so this comment was just useless.. LOL thats a deal for sure -- my lfs sells em for 40 bucks a piece or for 110 for 3... and its not a variety thats for sure.. can u tell me what site you went from? or was this a private seller?

animalmaster6 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Wow looks great Newman! Funny to see how it looks now filled with corals than before when it it didn't have corals. Link to comment
.Newman. Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Nah, Will, that comment wasnt useless - i have been known to be impulsive on things (like my little incident of randomly wanting lettuce sea hares and pom pom xenia) An yes that reminds me that I havent shown you guys that lettuce sea hare. he's still alive but I cant tell if he'll make it or not. idk if he eats chaeto, Elysia clarki isnt supposed to eat it...so in theory the only thing thats powering him right now are the fuge lights. he is retaining his green color, but its only been a week, so we shall see if he loses any color or gets smaller in size. if he does then I'll know that I need to get the correct type of macro algae for him to chow on. thanks AM!

.Newman. Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 terrible news: the lettuce sea hare escaped somehow from the fuge, went into the display and got sucked into the AC110 intake X_X sea hares and AC filters are incompatible. Shame because I didnt even get a chance to see if it would survive in my tank/fuge. So much for showing you guys what an amazing animal it is... Link to comment
Wilioli Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 aww that sucks buddy.. i was googling images on that too.... looks insane! u gonna get another one? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 All my 4's deaths were because that same reason: getting sucked up. Link to comment
Wilioli Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 meant to ask you -- how'd u attach the frags? whats ur technique? Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 um i didnt attach any to anything. they are jsut lying there. anyway the seller of the sea hares and the xenia sent in some frags to balance out the losses. I finally got a frag of NORMAL GSP. this stuff is supposed to be easy to grow compared to what i have in this tank. Also got a frag containing green bay packer zoas and some orange skirt zoas. another frag had an orange ric and some xenia that didnt die. another frag had some wicked large AOG zoas and some xenia that looks ok. so i got 4 frags total. so 6 types of coral total. not too shabby. Link to comment
Wilioli Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 had to google each of those -- but they all look great! lol might be goin this weekend to get some zoas'.. the lfs doesn't have them labelled as their specific types, but nevertheless i hope they will be 'cool' ones! Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 i'm still excited about this normal GSP. very different from the whiny type i had before (still have). looks tons better in terms of color too. the way i tell them apart since both produce metallic green polyps is that the mat of the normal GSP is perple and with stubby polyp bumps when theyre retracted. the annoying GSP has a white-skin color mat and the polyp bumps are not visible at all when retracted.

.Newman. Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Maybe I need to stop dosing Seachem Reef+ supplement. I think it may just be aggravating my cyano. On a random side note, my blue ric has decided to eat itself...Its edge liquefied and that was being drawn into its mouth..idk rics are bizarre Link to comment
Wilioli Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 what?!?! thats awesome -- did u get to watch that? i think im going to need rics and plants.. hmmm Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 yes I have been watching the progress all day... I think the ric looks a bit better now, it has finished eating that part of its outer self...it really tough to describe whats going on lol. I thought that this weird behavior was in response to the two different types of rics touching, so I moved the blue one away from the new orange one. I thought that rics enjoyed being in contact with one another, but this weird thing happened... Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 I cut that ric in half with a scalpel the other day. just wanting it to split lol. also cut my larges rhodactis in half too. hopefully both shrooms heal up nice and successfully multiply. Some random pics The recovering Acan: Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 A pic of the hammer and its reflection. I'd like to call it "The Roaring Ocean". I just like the way the greenish reflection looks like turbulent waves in the ocean (kind like if someone painted it...) There's also a random shot in the post after this. as you can see I moved the hammer up and you can also see the normal GSP and some of the new xenia. that pic was taken from the torch coral (the blurry thing in front) Link to comment
Wilioli Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 amazing pics as always -- my favourite is the acan, and the roaring ocean.. really looks like some outerspace/northern lights deal... wow..... whats easier in your opinion to maintain/keep -- the hammer or frogspawn? Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 idk I have never kept frogspawn lol. this is a weird hammer too, it sorta looks like a mix between a regular hammer and a frogspawn coral. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 That's a really nice acan, I love it. I like "The Roaring Ocean" Link to comment
.Newman. Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 thanks AM, I hope you dont think I'm too odd for looking so deeply into a reflection image and then naming it Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Nothing wrong with naming pictures Link to comment
Wilioli Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 my bad, u even said it was a torch -- i looked at it quick and thought frogspawn -- gotcha --so when and where is this contest? Link to comment
