This version of the forum doesn't support changing the PPP, though I managed to convince CM when he did the big update that we needed at least 25PPP instead of 15 like is the default. WTF, 15PPP is nothing!

[FlCandy]

LMAO gotcha, so none of that matters anymore. So a new page is a new page. Wow this thread is too long......

[Chew_Magna]

Wow you've had some crazy growth out of those!

[gena]

Wow...that food from Albert is really working for you!!!!!

 

I think your acans are my favorites now.

[FlCandy]

Wow you've had some crazy growth out of those!

 

Thanks I have been staring at them in awe thinking this is the "Crack" additive I have been looking for! Just so much in 2 months time it's amazing.

Thanks Gena! I love the fluffy acans as well, that little orange one is just wow. I don't know what happened to the pink and blue one..... it was there at the base under the red but no more...... guess I will check the sand for it...... but these are growing great.

[gena]

I wish I had more room for my acans. I have 4 of them and they are all scrunched together on one rock. I do love how plump they get.

[FlowerMama]

Thanks for those before and after, it is incredible what further puffiness they've added to the acans. And I appreciate the fact it made a change in all your corals, not just some.

I know and more in plain view for me, I love them but the only space I had was in the middle like that.

Thank you! The zoas are growing like weeds, the SPS are branching out and the LPS are all puffy and happy. Really, in a teeny capsule these things have a ton of power! Awesome reef food.

I stopped by w/ Hagen surprising both of you guys for sure, didn't I?!. I hadn't walked Hagen in a long time, and not on that road in a good long while, and of course I remembered why- traffic.

 

Hagen enjoyed himself, he just has no appreciation for fish tanks, to see the colors, the layout, the growth. I know he wanted to play w/ your pooch and maybe more with the kitties.

 

It's amazing to me seeing a tank like yours, so much color, lots of texture. And yeah, your shrimp goby pair are very awesome. So made for each other. Your tank inspired me, I went home and took some pics of mine. Nice to see ya, I hope your husband doesn't think I'm weird, just stopping over like that w/ no warning, completely unannounced, uninvited. Of course Hagen is sleeping ahead of time, I guess it was a lot of excitement for him.

It's all good the in-laws like to surprise us too so no worries.

 

Thanks a ton I really love this tank and all the critters in it yours is amazing as well just so well done its fun to see the little tank look so big and the scape fits it well.

 

Next time I will join you for a walk with Lilly she would love that the cats on the other hand are not good on a leash! Lol

 

Poor boy he is tired huh? Lots of sniffs today for him. He is such a cutie. And thanks again your welcome any time.

Yeah, I don't walk when it's warm. It just feels invigorating when it's cooler- I sleep so much better too. Cool morning today, kinda shocked to wake up & the house was 64. And then we're almost at 80 later today. Kinda crept up on us after that warm weekend.

Did you name your dog after a company that makes pet products?

[FlCandy]

Where did you type in the wrong section? Oh nm I see now! Lol yeah what 47 out this morning then 76 in the mid afternoon weird! But lovely weather!

 

Lol I love his name.

[FlowerMama]

My husband named him after the highest scoring UK basketball player I think it was. He graduated from there. I noticed that when I came to NR- OOOOH, it's a company of some kind. I thought that was kinda cool.

Oh. Hagen is actually the company that is Fluval. They have sub companies for every pet category, Fluval is just a fish one. Exo Terra is the reptile one, Glo, Nutrafin, Aquaclear, it's all Hagen.

That's cool info!

[FlowerMama]

I have a cool dog Hagen! My husband would've enjoyed knowing his name had 2 meanings. Goodnight all.

[FlCandy]

So I have some bad news. Kevin the big Squamosa (teal rimmed guy) died for unknown reasons yesterday. He had been a bit mad after jumping from the rock he was attached to and my only guess is he damaged himself and just couldn't recover. I am beside myself the last 24 hours and could barely look at the tank until about an hour ago to take a few pics of the other two to try and perk my spirits. A year is a damn long time but not as long as it should have been and I keep thinking what could I have done. He literally looked great until 24 hours before he passed, just not open as much and I was just thinking okay your coming back, then overnight wham bam dead when I woke up.

 

For now I will make myself post pics of everything else really the only reason I am not breaking this thing down and selling everything is that the other two clams are doing perfect, the SPS are growing like weeds, and the fish are all thriving. The Cyano had a bloom after his passing and being in over night, but it's falling back again today. I am at a loss. All tests are perfect. Levels are stable. No explanation, and I only noticed the bristle worms checking him out after he was starting to try and die. So it wasn't them.......

 

See the food in his belly

 

 

Needs a fragging soon.....

So yeah basically those pics tell the story of how the tank is doing. Me not so good. All I can do to look at the tank it's just not the same. Sigh...... guess I will try for now, we will see what happens... those 2 blue clammies are all that keeps me from doing the breakdown right now.

 

Thanks for looking and your kind words, I am sorry if I do not reply, I haven't been able to think about him without beating myself up. Be back on tomorrow. Thanks again.

[FlowerMama]

Randy- You can't beat yourself up, you did nothing wrong girl! From everything I've seen and read with your tanks and personally seeing how knowledgeable you are, it wasn't anything you caused. He jumped, he hurt himself, there are certain things you can't stop. Just like w/ my husband- should I have urged harder for him to go to the hospital? Is there anything I could have done? no. And would he think I gave him the best care? Yes, more than the best, but even some things you cannot help.

[gena]

I am soooo sorry to hear this. Big hugs Randi!!!! I know you loved him so. We all did. You can't beat yourself up for this. Don't ever say you will tear down this tank. That would be the real tragedy!!! Sorry again. (((hugs)))

I have a cool dog Hagen! My husband would've enjoyed knowing his name had 2 meanings. Goodnight all.

I totally thought you named your dog after the Fish company. It's a cool name.

+ a million. So well said, Annette. Hugs to you too.

 

BTW...these are some of your best photos!!!!!! Incredible!!!!

[FlowerMama]

And no.

The tank stays.

You reefing stays.

We all stay for reefing! Ok, well that was supposed to be a I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream type thing, kinda..

[FlCandy]

Thanks ladies I really appreciate it. Made me all misty again.

[markalot]

Awe man, sorry about the clam. Colors look terrific, something I have constantly struggled with ... but I have a crystal clear sand bed. Trues me, I'd take cyano any day of the week instead of my drab colors.
