msscha Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Haven't seen the Gramma yesterday or today. Am concerned Can't claim actual experience with Grammas, but if you have caves, from what I've read in other threads, grammas really like to hide. Seems to be some personality variation with this as grammas hide for some but hang out in other tanks. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hellooo geesh sorry, I haven't been a good neighbor. Nice addition, pretty gamma. The YWG looks mad in the pictures, like the gamma is getting close to its den. Link to comment

I do have a LOT of nooks and crannies, as I have 10-12 indificual rocks stacked on top of each other, so I'm hoping that he's just hanging out in a little cave somewhere. Link to comment
gena Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Any sign? The royal gramma was the first fish I ever lost in my reefing career. I felt terrible. He disappeared the second night. Never found a trace of him. I wonder if they can get themselves stuck in crevices????? Hopefully yours will or did show up!!!!!! Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My Gramma hid all the time. Best of luck! Link to comment

nevermore1701 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Zapped a couple of aiptasia that popped up, no idea where they came from, haven't had any in quite a while and haven't added anything to the tank. Oh well, hypodermic needle filled with lemon juice works pretty well. Link to comment

Oh well, hypodermic needle filled with lemon juice works pretty well. I've never had any luck zapping them with the store bought aptasia killers. I may have to try the lemon juice next time. So far I haven't found any aptasia on my new rock (knocks on wood!). It's been 2 months since the last photos. Any changes growth-wise????? Link to comment
nevermore1701 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 A bunch of mushrooms have moved off their crowded rocks and are spreading all over the tank, which is cool. Some of the zoas have put out a few more polyps, and the rics are just huge! They all have multiple mouths now, but just seem to be growing instead of splitting. The stars are also growing, they're about twice the size they were when I first got 'em. The urchin is also growing, he's about golf ball size and knocks the damn surface skimmer off the back wall multiple times a day Link to comment

nevermore1701 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Mrs. NVM has telephoto and macro lenses coming in this Thursday or Friday, I'm waiting to try them out! Link to comment
nevermore1701 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 I have a feeling I'll get some serious mileage out of these new lenses (once I figure out how to run 'em)! Link to comment
nevermore1701 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 The picture is nice, the fish is mean as hell! Link to comment
gena Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 WOW!! I hope this means a LOT more photos from you I have the camera, but not the skills. You don't seem to have any problems with yours Link to comment

nevermore1701 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Now if I could just manage to spend any money on the tank itself, I'd be good! I'm starting to budget in equipment to convert my 56g cichlid tank over to saltwater, that is going to be a long and expensive process! Link to comment
