Felicia Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Sorry about the scorp, Christina. Its always easy to feel like you did something wrong if it was doing fine at the store, but I doubt it was anything you had any control over. Your tank is clearly doing great and would have made a great home for him. Fish are just weird and sometimes don't take to a new tank very well. They are just so delicate to stress. I'm still holding out a big of hope that he is a master at hiding, but yeah its been long enough to think he probably didn't make it. I'm getting to the point where I won't get attached to a new fish until it makes it at least a week in my tank. 2 Quote Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hmmm. Maybe if I hadn't just bought about a million SPS frags from Zia's end of the world party. But you are definitely inspiring me to think about trying again OR, TEENY, you could always start a new tank with macros and gorgs Awww. Sorry to hear about the scorpion, Yoshi. 1 Quote Link to comment
Legendary Corals Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 zomg... is that blue ochtodes? Had no idea you guys got macro algaes in! We've been collecting them! Always loved that orange gorg but it being NPS made us a bit nervous to try it out. It just needs to eat gorg food right? 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks Felicia He was so cute too OR, TEENY, you could always start a new tank with macros and gorgs Awww. Sorry to hear about the scorpion, Yoshi. Yeahhh! This! Thanks Stella zomg... is that blue ochtodes? Had no idea you guys got macro algaes in! We've been collecting them! Always loved that orange gorg but it being NPS made us a bit nervous to try it out. It just needs to eat gorg food right? Close, it's a "knock off" Hypnea pannosa Ooh I didn't know you had macros, got any cool ones? The orange gorgs are the easiest NPS gorgs I've cared for. Big polyps = easy to feed I feed a powder food and frozen grouper eggs poor fishie, but it doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. just happens Yeah Poor guy 2 Quote Link to comment

evanski Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 This tank should be TOTM As I said awhile back in the nomination thread....it is so artistic and well done! 1 Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 As I said awhile back in the nomination thread....it is so artistic and well done! Thank You! Although I think the tank has come a long way since a few years ago Picture time! I ended up taking another nap, but I'll continue to post more pics later Red Feather Algae The top part of this purple gorg gets a lot of flow from the powerhead, and the polyps get long and "stringy" Kinda like sleeper tentacles on a euphyllia 5 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I know I've said it before but I love the rich colors in this tank. It's one of the brightest and refreshing. Quote Link to comment
evanski Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Remember looking at your 3G pick years ago...then stumbled across this one a couple of months ago. Made the nomination last month. Beauteous! Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Awesome! That red feather is so beautiful Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 I know I've said it before but I love the rich colors in this tank. It's one of the brightest and refreshing. Thank you It's one of the reasons why I like this tank, I get the bright colors but without having to have a 20k light over the tank Remember looking at your 3G pick years ago...then stumbled across this one a couple of months ago. Made the nomination last month. Beauteous! Thank you! This tank is almost as old as my pico. It will be turning 5 years old next month Awesome! That red feather is so beautiful Definitely one of my favorites of the macros from live-plants But anything it touches it likes to "stick" to and start growing on it. So I've had to pick pieces of it off my red finger gorg Quote Link to comment

Aww thanks guys Nice, I like that macro It's one of my new favs, it's a species of Portieria This tank is beautiful. Thank you Guys! I found out why my purple branch gorg hasn't been doing well One of my big scarlet hermits has been EATING IT!! I caught him red handed last night! I watched him for a little bit, just to make sure he was actually eating it, and he definitely was! He'd pinch off a piece, then eat around the spicule, then grab another bite to eat. And all this time I thought it was cool he liked to climb on the gorgs Quote Link to comment
