Kylebeano Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 yes it does look like it lost most of its green. my green BN also did that when a frag of it was introduced into my LED-lit picotope, but after a few months, it grew into a nice colony and is starting to revert back to its original coloration. i expect yours to do a similar thing, it just takes time. Thanks for the optimism! Hopefully it will color in better, its not an ORA green bn, but it still was green. Ive actually held back from getting an ORA green bn from my LFS that is amazing for fear of it losing color as well. Link to comment
iDream Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Psh, get it, you can keep it. I'm super jealous of your acans, they are suhweet! Link to comment
Kylebeano Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Psh, get it, you can keep it. I'm super jealous of your acans, they are suhweet! Thank you, theyre from uniquecorals in NY. They've been growing really well, ive been feeding them a mixture of cyclops/rotifers/daphnea/prawn roe/mysis/mini blood worms lol. As for the BN, im going to hold off for another fragging. The one he has left is pretty wimpy. AND I took new pics after some new aquascaping (removal of the large middle bridging rock). I think it makes the tank look larger, and adds more room for additional corals. Pics are still with my phone, as I havnt bought batteries yet >:| But, photobucket can now edit pictures so I tried to lighten them up and look more realistic. The FTS looks a lot better than the last. Link to comment
castiel Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I like the new scape, you are right it does make the tank look bigger. You still need a better camera though =0p Link to comment
iDream Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 There was one frag of the ORA BN in the $30 and it was a beaut! Also, I think the mia's pot of gold is gone :/ he has another frag on the back side of the giant shallow tank, and a colony left I think they're gonna frag up eventually Link to comment
Kylebeano Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I like the new scape, you are right it does make the tank look bigger. You still need a better camera though =0p Thanks, it relaly opens up a lot more real estate for some more coral. And I just need some AA batteries for my canon and ill be set.

Kylebeano Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 The tank will have a nice update soon I bought a pretty sweet zoa pack, which should be here in two days! So, I need to arrange some room. Link to comment
Kylebeano Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Well, I did the re-arrangment! To the right rock with softies, I fragged one of the heads off the toadstool since it was starting to shade some things over there. I removed it from that placement to make room for the new zoas coming in tomorrow. I also went to another reefer's place yesterday in Tallahassee. He has a 350g 60x48x26. And it is one of the most mature reefs I have ever seen, pictures on the internets included. I had to buy a couple frags, and he gave me one for free. Sooo, I re-arranged the sps rock on the left as well lol. When I went to move the sour apple birdsnest it shattered into a few pieces, so it looks frankenstien, but its a fast growing so I dont mind. I think the placement is alright, ill just need to trim as needed. Oh, and if you dont notice, I finally got batteries for my camera. Okay, so the three I got yesterday.... ATL Red Table Hyacinthus: Marshall Island Fuzzy Green (broke into two pieces, so its in two different spots): Unknown Tort? (free!): Some updated shots of new placement: FTS: Top Downs: And Dave's 350g (pictures of course do no justice): Link to comment
igotreefermadness Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Tank looks great man. That 350 has the most amazing sps growth I have ever seen holy jesus Link to comment
Kylebeano Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Tank looks great man. That 350 has the most amazing sps growth I have ever seen holy jesus Thanks! Yeah, the tank has so much dimension to it! A lot of his corals have been growing in there for a little over 4 years. And he said he has had his centerpiece for about 7 years, through multiple tanks, the base skeleton is thicker than my...forearm. He has $50 purple monster frags that would take up too much room in my tank lol. Link to comment
Kylebeano Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 New frags! Which means, new pics: New FTS Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 KM and Nuc ARE very sweet! Link to comment
Kylebeano Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 KM and Nuc ARE very sweet! Yes they are, they'll be pretty darn cool when grown out! I hope they're fast growers, let's see who's frags grow faster Link to comment
iDream Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Are those candy apple red and sunny d frags? LOVE those palys. Dendro from High Tide? Link to comment
Kylebeano Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Are those candy apple red and sunny d frags? LOVE those palys. Dendro from High Tide? Yes, yes, and yes. One polyp CAR, four polyps sunny d. They are excellent, cant wait for them to grow all over. I also bought one polyp raptors rainbow, and even in the seller's pic its dull, but I sure hope it colors up better. It has faint pink and green, but very faint, although it is a HUGE paly, so if it does color, it would be spectacular as well. That was a lot of commas. The dendro was their last single frag on their rack, I really hope you got one too. If not, ill sell it to you and wait for them to get some more! Link to comment

But I did have them hold me a big head and I picked it up the day after you told me, I just haven't gotten around to posting pics here. I do have several on my thread in the description of that I got of it nice and wide open Tank is looking awesome! Everything growing out will be sweet, especially all the sweet palys/zoas/acans/SPS you have, all you need is that ORA green BN to complete it Link to comment

I cant watch the video tonight, work internet blocks youtube. I really cant fit much else in the tank, its so awesome. I think I want to just replace that sour apple birdsnest for the ORA green. But since ive moved it I want to keep an eye out to see if its getting enough light over there. Cant wait for it to just fill up. It's so cool having all that in a 4g tank on my kitchen counter! Now im antsy for growth and also thinking about getting another par30 bulb for the tank, one for each rock. MUST KEEP SPENDING MONEY! Link to comment
Kylebeano Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 I think I found a fish that won’t end up in the filter, its already found nice caves in the rock. It's like a little orca, which is incidentally my least favorite species of the whales. I effing hate orcas. But, this guy is cute and active. I wanted four of them. Some of the pictures were taken with an ISO of 800 so I could use a shutter speed fast enough to capture him, so they arent the best pics ever, but ill get better. and the sunny-ds again because i love them Link to comment
iDream Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Nice damsel! One of my favorite damsels, if I wanted a single fish a damsel would be a serious consideration Sunny D's always look great, I think I'm getting a polyp from a friend and I'm excited. How's your dendro doing? I know an NPS is one of those no-no type of things for picos. but I think since its your only one you can handle it, and most pico owners that have put as much time and money in as you have I don't think you'd not keep up with pwcs. After feeding it every few days its finally looking like its gonna stay out a ton more, and its quickly becoming my absolute favorite piece Link to comment

It really is a suprisingly pretty fish, I didnt even notice until it was under the LEDZ guuulllllll. My girlfriend picked the species out like 4 months ago, but I never really wanted a damsel. The ones at high tide were already pretty big, but Petco finally got a salt fish shipment in and they had a few of these, so I picked the smallest one. It actually has a really bright blue shimmer off the tips of its fins. Really hard to get a pic of it, but you can kind of see it in some of them. If you dont get a polyp from him, ill be sure to have frags in say 5 months? lol The dendro is doing great. I feed it plenty, and the fish and acans get whatever is left in the turkey baster. So the excess food isnt too bad, its just recycled. But, I do as youve stated, I have been doing a 1g water change three times a week. We can race our dendros, lets see whos is a bigger whore and has the most babies Link to comment

I was thinking feeding the acans and then the damsel would probably be smart as well. As for the dendro race, you're on! I purposely had them save me a big head so I've cheated already though Link to comment

High tide has better prices on dry goods than them haha. It's not the size of the polyp, it's the motion of the ocean baby! Link to comment
