metrokat Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Gulf Live Rock. My 2nd order with them. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Aww... so this is what I have missed in the 36+ hours. Now I know I will be dealing with when the tank upgrade happens for me. Looking great, are you going to add more LR? Build it up a bit more? You have so much more space to play with. I can't wait to see it with live stock in it Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Spotted a bright anemone. Looks like a zoanthid, very bright orange/red skirt with a dark green mouth. Any idea what kind that is? Link to comment
sublunary Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Gulf Live Rock. My 2nd order with them. Nice, I will need to remember them for my upgrade (still a few years away). Good looking stuff! Link to comment

The BC has the tall structures which I want to move over, so that will add the height. Yes this scape is too low for me, I need towers. Maybe I should call the thread the towering MAX. God knows I need step stool and a ladder to do anything at all in it. pic? Still too cloudy Here Link to comment

metrokat Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Scroll back John! Just a couple of pages, they are there I give it 3 months and it will be full lol You think? Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I don't want empty tank shots. I want updated. The anticipation to see the next metrokat masterpiece is too much! Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Retired the frag tank. Now I have the RSM, BC14 and the Pico. The pico is currently the grow out holding tank for macros and GSP and some softies. The BC, well she's my Vivace Bellezza everything looks happy. Now I have 3 tanks to constantly stare at. It's a wonder I get anything done at all around here! Clams in the RSM are alive, they are in the sand, about 4 of them, I removed them as gently as I could from the rocks so they would not interfere with the structure. The one clam I did not touch went belly up. Got him out before he started decaying. Large one too. I make it a point to check for life with the bi-valves, they can foul up the water very quickly. Gulf Live rock physically shucks all small bi-valves they find before shipping to avoid die off as much as possible, they remove sponges too but I still managed to get a few sponges. The ones in the BC are still alive too. I don't want empty tank shots. I want updated. The anticipation to see the next metrokat masterpiece is too much! You are so funny. Hardly a masterpiece but click here for a picture of the scape Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 You are so funny. Hardly a masterpiece but click here for a picture of the scape Ha I don't know how I missed it. And they never start as masterpieces. Rome wasn't built in a day ya know. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Nice work congrats on the upgrade Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thank you. Every time I see pink skunk clownfish at the store I think of your tank. The black sun coral in the BC has decided it likes daylight now. And that is my porcelain crabs first molt. Link to comment
kgoldy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Porcelain crab look like this molt repaired his handicap? Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 nope, not yet. He is mauling the duncan to death though, I wonder if I can relocate him to the GSP? Scroll back a couple of pages, for RSM photos KG Nice! Can't wait to see the other tank in there! Beautiful tank though! What did TS say? Does he know? TS knows, when I get deliveries at the front desk I get email notifications and he gets copied too since he is here a lot. Let me tell you the email has been blowing up this week, So he goes "lots of deliveries, is that stinky fish stuff?" Link to comment
1.0reef Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 link to the RSM build thread? Link to comment
gena Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I love how you guys show your cats in the new tanks...too cute!!!!! Congrats on the new tank. I'll look forward to watching it grow Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 Not liking this at all. The two biggest bi valves open up really wide to the point that I think they are dead. I touched the shell with the forceps and they snap closed instantly. But a second later open up again. This behavior is very unusual is it not? Normally when touched or disturbed they will clam up for a while. Also, one of them voluntarily dropped its foot. Is that a sign of impending doom? Bi-valve with foot Dropped the foot and gaping open (I can see it 'breathing' or moving, whatever you want to call it) Closes up when distrurbed Link to comment
ry05coupe Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 When I bug my clam it'll close up but open back up in a few seconds. The dropped foot is a bad sign though... Link to comment
