Time for a new computer lol. Any advice on my future coral placements? Link to comment
.Newman. Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 i cant afford a new computer for now haha. once i move, ill probably be forced to get one cuz im not taking this one with me (not mine) coral placement will probably look good. Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Picked up some new coral from a local reefer. Pick up a frag of gsp and a frag of idaho grape montipora. GSP ( a frag this size is like 20 bucks at LFS here. Got it for 5) Monti (I didnt have time to put it on the rocks yet. It will be put on there tomorrow morning) He also threw in a green play frag for free but it didnt open up enough to get pics of it. Will try tomorrow. Link to comment
jgpico Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 sweet new corals. I love my gsp but I should have followed the advice of others and put it on its own seperate island because it has grown like crazy and pretty much owns its own back corner of the tank. Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 sweet new corals. I love my gsp but I should have followed the advice of others and put it on its own seperate island because it has grown like crazy and pretty much owns its own back corner of the tank. I thought I would leave it on its own rock but the guy I got it from had a huge colony of it and it looked awesome. So I think I'm going to put it in the top right corner by my powerhead. I have wanted a frag of it for awhile but the lfs charge way too much for it. Got a pic of the random palys frag. Also the gsp opened up a lot more today. And I put the monti on the rocks Top down of the gsp. Link to comment

gritchie4 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 K so i decided that I am going to get my jbj pico fixed and turn it into a mini frag tank. With the way my red mushrooms are growing and now i have xenia, gso, and palys that should grow like weeds, I will run out of sand fast in the 5.5 gal. Ordered some black eggcrate, frag plugs, and dry rock rubble from BRS. I am thinking of a boostled bulb for lighting, hydor pico powerhead and debating on whether to add a ac50 or ac70 for a fuge along with a hydor heater. Would i even need a fuge for a frag tank or should i just get an ac20 for added flow? Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Received one of my two orders that I placed yesterday. Ordered a replacement lamp for my pico light because mine went a couple days ago. Also ordered 10in forceps and these things make life a lot easier. Ordered both from marine depot yesterday morning and got them this morning. Either friday or monday I will be getting my BRS order which consists of dry rock rubble, frag plugs, and black eggcrate.

pj86 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I like your feather dusters! Looking nice. So you going to make a frag tank out of your pico, lol. It so interesting to hear people are needing frag tanks for their pico's. Link to comment

It so interesting to hear people are needing frag tanks for their pico's. Yea the red mushrooms and green palys are spreading like crazy. And now I have xenia and gsp so I'm sure ill run out of room soon. Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Haven't taken pics of the sexies in awhile. I have had them for awhile now. They don't really eat any corals anymore which i am happy about. Kind of want to get a couple more. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Tank looks awesome, careful with idaho grape and gsp they both grow like mad. Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Tank looks awesome, careful with idaho grape and gsp they both grow like mad. Thanks. That is what I heard. Im planning a frag tank in the near future so they will go in there and I can give them to LFS or to our local club. Link to comment

jgpico Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Nice. I love my new sps frags. Those look really nice Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Thanks. I just hope they thrive. I think i only have room for a birdnest frag and another plating monti and thats it. Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Nothing new has gone on with the tank. Actually it is probably going to be at a stand still for a little bit. Might be getting a new job, find out Tuesday, our offer on a new house got accepted and we might close by thanksgiving. And now this...... Oh and she said yes! I might just work on the frag tank. Have a couple pieces left to get. Link to comment
