saltwatercoral Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Here ya go Esqueleto! Here is a pic that I just snaped of them when I came home today! I was able to get a nice shot of them without the cleaners walking all over them. As you can see in the pic that the 2 cleaner shrimp are in there favorite spot waiting to pounce on them, EDIT: The pics is an IPHONE pic and the blue washes the color out. The one on the right has a nice golden color with a light Blue rim around the fleshy part. The one on the right has a nice deep purpleish blue color and has a nice darker blue rim on its flesh part and has nice small bright blue dots on it as well! They seem to be doing great and love the tank! Link to comment

pschom Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 i miss my clam. it was a 'baby' and i didn't feed it.... I'm guessing thats the reason for its demise. Do I have something I want to give away. Let me think. Only thing I have right now is what you already have. Have some real nice GSP frags. But they are no doubt green. I was gonna trade them in to the LFS today. Two different kinds. You should get some mini maxis for the bottom area. They are so addictive. I want to fill a tank with them and feed them all at the same time. That would be awesome. EDIT. Actually, if you want softies....I have the following: Red Shrooms Electric Blue Shrooms Purple Death Palys (these look a little bland under my lights, but maybe under the SOL blue they would look better??) Watermelon Zoas (I could frag you some) I have a single Candy Cane coral head. Never mounted it. Looks fine. Kinda light blue. Link to comment

saltwatercoral Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Since my last bump was not a big one at all I decided to Bump up the blues some more. I left the white alone since white penetrates the water more than blue. This is why I bumped the blues some more. So here are my current settings: White-Blue-Royal Blue 7AM: 20-35-35 9AM: 25-40-40 12PM: 30-50-50 2PM: 40-60-60 3PM: 40-60-60 5PM: 30-50-50 6PM: 25-40-40 8PM: 15-25-25 10PM: 0-1-0 2AM: 0-0-0 (lunar on - Lights out from 2AM-7AM) Link to comment
