And...I would have slept longer but my cat howls every morning at 8am if we're not up yet. She wants her food NOW Usually I go right back to sleep but I was awake this morning.

metrokat Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I woke up after lunch.... threw a pillow the howling cat so he didnt bother me after that Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Picture time. I never thought I would post a good update about my acro but it's actually growing! Macro abilities of the iPhone are subpar but you get the idea. Color irl is yellowish with green polyps. Let me know if this plan is sound. Once it grows 2-3" past the bleached out parts I will frag it and remount them, hopefully allowing only healthy growth to be on the coral. Or should I just leave it alone? Either way that's a month or two down the road so I'm not in a rush. Smallest gsp colony: I love this combo rock: *Possible new signature regarding a video of the above picture. I've had the lights at 75/75 for a few days and everything seems to like it. Any lower and the coral start to close. I'm assume that's because they weren't getting enough. I woke up after lunch.... threw a pillow the howling cat so he didnt bother me after that Like a boss Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Yes. Re-frag the healthy Acro pieces. That'd give it the best chance. FRAG SPS UNDER WATER. Julian Sprung did a test of fragging SPS coral's. He found that sps fragged underwater, lived 80% of the time. Whereas, sps fragged in air, and returned promptly to water, had a 50/50 success rate. *The frags, not the mother colonies.... 100% of the mother's lived. ------------------------ Oh yea... Those Zoa's are INCREDIBLE! My zoa's NEVER got skirt's like that... That GSP--->... Your wet water is also very impressive.... Do you... inTank? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Roger that, am I correct in assuming I should let it grow out more before doing that? Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Very pretty .. I love the way the GSP look like that, it reminds of grass with little flowers in it. Love the zoas also. I man handled mine to much today trying to remove the aiptasia that it was infested with today. Link to comment

I man handled mine to much today trying to remove the aiptasia that it was infested with today. Thank you at least the aiptasia is gone now! You could do it right now if you wanted to.... Hmmm, I don't have clean bone cutters or fragging supplies but I'll get some in the next week or so and do that soon then. I'm scared though, this will be my first hard coral frag. I have no idea how I'll deal with fragging something like acans. Link to comment

JoelRHale Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Happy new year to you too! It's going to be a better year for the tank and for me in general. I jut actually took the opportunity to call a friend up and hash out some things that had driven a wedge between us the past year. I jut have a good feeling about things The acro should start growing now that it's found it's groove Link to comment

I haven't really seen noticeable growth from my acro, but it has great PE all the time, so I think its doing well. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Joel, did you ever figure out what is going on with Photobucket? I am just curious... Link to comment

I know some acro grows so fast you can watch it! okay maybe not that fast but I've seen 1-2" a month. I've heard of faster but don't buy it. Joel, did you ever figure out what is going on with Photobucket? I am just curious... Nope, can you not see my sig? When Brad said he saw it I just ignored the crappy thing I'm seeing. If it's messed up I'll make a new one and put it on imgur. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 No it is not the pretty picture you posted as before. It is the site icon for Photobucket. Link to comment
Felicia Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I can't see it either, Joel. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Okay, I'll fix it tomorrow. Right now I'm yelling at Eli Manning. I need him to get me 7 more points to win my FFL matchu which is against the same guy I lost to last night. A win will tie me for 1st, a loss will put me in 5th. Link to comment
