yoshii Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I wish our aquarium here was somewhat decent. haha Oh I thought yours was good? Ok guys, I mentioned this a little while ago, but I still want this pink/orange tube nem. It's grown at the LFS I'd have to get some more sand for it, but I don't mind having a pile of sand for it to be happy. What do you guys think about putting it in front of the arch/cave? Or should I not get it? 2 Quote Link to comment

GET IT! That doesn't sound fun I went to MBA on a weekday, the difference in the amount of people was awesome compared to past trips on the weekend The tube nem has grown really fast since it arrived, it might outgrow this tank quickly :/ But then I have to take stuff out of this tank next month anyways...I think I'm going to get it Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 He slays the guppies? Eats the bajeezus out of them (babies, anyway, he doesn't bug the big'uns). Also ate every single one of my blue pearl shrimp. The first week I had him he looked like a puffer fish. Quote Link to comment

yoshii Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Top down of one of my unID'ed macros. It looks much darker from a top down view. This grew from a tiny nub I picked off a zoa rock 5 Quote Link to comment

ArabTanker Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I came across your tank through Kat's nomination for TOTM. I really like whats going on here. Keep up whatever you're doing because it's working. Quote Link to comment

Thanks! I came across your tank through Kat's nomination for TOTM. I really like whats going on here. Keep up whatever you're doing because it's working. Haha, I'm not doing much! This tank is the most low maintenance out of all my tanks Just finished pruning and ended up moving some macros around. New FTS coming tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 pretty peach color. Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Woohoo! So glad you got the tube anemone. They're really fun and pretty. I love the latest photos of the macro algae. You have such a variety of colors and textures in there. LOVE it! Definitely TOTM worthy We need to get you to win before this tank comes down for school! Also, WOW are those shots from Monterey Bay Aquarium stunning! I love watching the jellies there. So peaceful and serene. Can't believe how clear your photos came out. I may have to use one as my computer background Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'm looking forward to it. And I'm sure everyone else is too. I'm excited too haha Unfortunately for those on the East Coast I won't be able to post it until late pretty peach color. I like it I know there are prettier ones out there, but this one is cute! Woohoo! So glad you got the tube anemone. They're really fun and pretty. I love the latest photos of the macro algae. You have such a variety of colors and textures in there. LOVE it!

So peaceful and serene. Can't believe how clear your photos came out. I may have to use one as my computer background It's really fun to feed, and it just looks nice with the tentacles swirling in the flow Thanks, it would be cool Thank you! I had to wait for the jellies to swim right next to the acrylic. Although the 2nd one exceeded my expectations I just switched my background to one! If you want, I can give you the full size file, just let me know what pic (please ignore those fingerprints, it's a touch screen) 2 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 That's the shot I love! I'd love to have the full size version if you don't mind. How big is it? If you want to email it, my email is felicia.svedlund@gmail.com. Really love your photography Quote Link to comment
ArabTanker Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hey Yoshii. Where are you buying your macros from? Quote Link to comment

If you want to email it, my email is felicia.svedlund@gmail.com. Really love your photography It's 4633x2555. Let me know if a different size would be better. I can always "add on" more background space I'll email you the file in a min If anyone else also wants the file, let me know! Hey Yoshii. Where are you buying your macros from? I've collected my macros from various places over the years. My first macros were from Maria (got2envy). I've ordered from reefcleaners.org and live-plants.com. Live-plants is my favorite for their quantity and variety of macros. Although you need to order in spring/early summer for the best availability. I've also gotten macros from LFSs. 2 Quote Link to comment

More than she knows, I think. I check out my LFS every once in a while but they only stock chaeto. I have had luck getting some off of a local reefer. Once my new macro/rfa tank is presentable, I will probably ask you for some help IDing them haha. Do you ever sell your prunings? If you don't I promise I can keep a secret. Quote Link to comment

It's been 5 years since she gave me my first macros, but I still have some of them! Haha no prob, I'd be happy to help I usually end up trading or selling with local reefers. I've never shipped macros before Quote Link to comment

And great - I'll definitely need it. Yeah I don't blame you. Although, macros can be shipped super easy. Inside ziplock bags and wrapped in damp paper towels and they're good to go. If you're not totally against it I would be privileged to get my started pack from you! You would be my Maria. Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 That works great Thanks for sending it to me! I'm actually in my lab right now doing some work so I also set it as the desktop background on our computer that runs the instrument I use a lot Quote Link to comment

I've always received macros in water A few local reefers have called dibs, but if I have leftovers I'll try to ship out some I plan to continue this tank in a 3 or 5g (combing with my current 3g) so I've also got to keep some of my fav macros That works great Thanks for sending it to me! I'm actually in my lab right now doing some work so I also set it as the desktop background on our computer that runs the instrument I use a lot I'm glad you like it Ok guys, I got tied up in a few things after work, so for now here's a teaser - the cell phone view from my bed I'll post the "real" FTS tonight, but the east coasters will probably be sleeping by then 7 Quote Link to comment
