FlCandy Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Dam this untamed lion is beautimous! Can i jus say preggers is a good look on you Your rocking that well! Thanks! It's frustrating though not being able to bend and move the way I'm used to and getting Kung fu kicked 24/7 from the little one is very interesting! But active is good they say! Haha Thanks! I so love my dendro. Started as one head with 2 babies about a year ago? I can't remember. But he is a beast now. Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Fun!!!! I have no clue what it would be though. OH.......OMG........rainbow palythoas?????????????? Yeah, I knew that you got some and they died. And I didn't think you found any again. Good opp moment for Randi to show me how to cut my first frag (and it looked like a penis!!!- still loved that, was so hilarious). So far has to be my best saltwater moment by far! Link to comment

I did get some and they melted away. Yours are so much prettier though!!!! How did you cut it, btw? Did you pull the whole thing out of the water? I'm still trying to learn the best way to frag Zs and Ps. I did some cutting today and had some success, but was only able to get like one polyp. Tried for 2 but the second one tore. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Omg Annette it was so awesome! I did get some and they melted away. Yours are so much prettier though!!!! How did you cut it, btw? Did you pull the whole thing out of the water? I'm still trying to learn the best way to frag Zs and Ps. I did some cutting today and had some success, but was only able to get like one polyp. Tried for 2 but the second one tore. She was able to take it out as it was on a plug and they were hanging off the plug. I use bone cutters (the large ones from the brs fragging kit) and try to get some rock with them usually. Either way works just less chance for them squirting if you keep them under water while fragging. Link to comment

I thought about doing the bone cutters, but my darn purple firefish darts under that rock whenever it's scared and I was afraid I'd hurt her. As it was, I was wiggling the rock while sawing through the rock to remove the polyps. Eventually I'll get the hang of fragging, I hope . Link to comment

Tried for 2 but the second one tore. Yeah, I popped it up from the putty that was there and put it down on a piece of styrofoam, kinda scary because some polyps totally deflated while I did it so I thought I killed them but nope. Randi did tell me they always look worse than what they are. At least now my jitters are gone. Link to comment

I just can't remove my rocks as their all on big foundation pieces and I'd be moving the tank around all the time.

It's funny because it still worries me every time but if you stop it'll never get done so I just push it back. Your's came out awesome though! Link to comment

And like you said, it's safer fragging them underwater to avoid being squirted . Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yeah, the one I did today looked like I killed it, but it was all perky and perfect this evening when I got home . I have completely squished some and watched them come back from a grey mushy mass. It's really amazing what they can live through. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I hate removing rocks as it is. And like you said, it's safer fragging them underwater to avoid being squirted . Ha, now if I had a penis that squirted that would have been even better!!!! This hobby does give you more than what you bargain for! This is what it was. This is what it is. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I hate removing rocks as it is. And like you said, it's safer fragging them underwater to avoid being squirted . Yeah why I keep the rocks in place. Ha, now if I had a penis that squirted that would have been even better!!!! This hobby does give you more than what you bargain for! Omg made me lol so hard.

It's really amazing what they can live through.I wasn't so lucky with my rainbows. Accidently bumped them against a rock and that was all it took for them to melt away. Ha, now if I had a penis that squirted that would have been even better!!!! This hobby does give you more than what you bargain for! I bet you could make that penis frag squirt LOL. Alright...on that note, I gotta go and do laundry . I've put it off long enough tonight LOL. Link to comment

Hahaha Yeah why I hate fragging the teeny Zoas but their opening more now that I have. Some can be so finicky it's weird. While others could care less. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Re-post for new page Doing this from phone thanks for looking. Yes I do! LOL Thank you my friend! I try to think so as my waist keeps expanding! It's getting harder and harder to bend over and I can no longer get behind the tank.... Looks like Hubby will be plugging all the new stuff in for me! HAHA It is! Okay ladies and gentlemen I have those pics as requested. Kind of Dendro Heavy...... FTS Crooked FTS with pumps off. I only post this for Flynn.... it's way washed out even after correcting. Back wall is almost clear of the HA thanks to the turbos. Ignore the algae it's really all HA and the snails and Tang are so lazy. Dendro Yeah he is growing like a fricking weed now. Can you tell he is one of my favs to take pics of? Top down. lobo I love this freebie. Yeah the Litho is about 3-4" Across and a perfect circle. He is copying his plate cousins but man look at all those mouths! This thing is a monster! I got it from a local in West Palm and it has tripled in size. Totally a colony now. Fast grower as well I think I got it as a 1" frag Dec of 2012 I think.... The two separate pieces of tort (exactly the same color, same polyps and growth patterns) are now together. Frags The deep purple and greens and the Eagle Eyes were cut today. So hard to get the colors right on these as their so close to the top annoying..... Annoying as even the slightest bit of a drip from the return causes distortion Zoas..... Remnants from the cleanup today. This Scripps is a total monster. Red Planet. Sorry about the algae, it is a work in progress, I have a tang who doesn't eat algae really and a bunch of snails who like the glass.... retards. I wish there was a decent LFS here locally that sold emerald crabs and snails at a decent price.... or I could find a place that doesn't charge an arm or a leg to ship to me. Soon a reefcleaners order will be placed. Most recent belly pic a week ago at 19 weeks 5 days. I guess I'm still slender just all baby right now. Thanks for looking and again forgive the algae. It's on it's way out and as soon as I get the LEDs' in I bet it goes away as well. I think the bulbs in the T5 fixture need replacing and why do that if I am getting new lights this week. Thanks this will be the last post of pics until I get the lights up and running. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yep it's official the tank is now fully under LEDs' FTS 2/2/14 I can't hold the dern camera straight The algae is only on the zoa side.... argh soon it will be gone soon! He is more pink now but still very strange coloration for a midas blenny..... Brains wanted food. Hungry Ricordea Acans I am loving being able to get good top downs now! Just awesome! Red Planet See the crab? Jose's Candlelight Bet you see her now Or now! Karl's Candlelight Litho Brains eating NOM NOM Zoas Enchanta Yumas and Rics. So yeah I am loving the Radions and taking pics with the LEDs' is like 10,000x easier. Top downs! WOW the planet really looks like that when I'm looking down into the tank. Just amazing. I am running then about 20-24" above the water and running at 40% set to ramp to 60% I believe.... over the course of 4 weeks. Today is the first full day under them and man oh man everything is looking amazing so far. I will keep you guys and gals posted and thanks for looking! Link to comment
