Deckoz2302 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hey Felicia....when and if the brain dies don't take it out....glue a monti to it for it to encrust over....sweet Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'll go switch mine to that. My current schedule is: 11:00 am - RB on 12:00 pm - White on 9:00 pm - White off 10:00 pm - RB off Its probably way too long now that I think about it and I'm not here during the day anyway, so its not like it'll bother me being dark later into the day.

I'll do it if I have enough space when I try to add the new frags. The open brain skeleton takes up a ton of space and I need to put my new birdsnest and stylophora on the rock it's been sitting on.

Felicia Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 I totally just realized that the current FTS and video I have up don't even have my SPS frags in them. I apparently should have taken updated ones last night when I was taking pictures. Silly me! But, I'm getting my new frags tonight (they're even getting delivered to me ), so I'll post photos of the new stuff and a new FTS and video as soon as I get a chance. Tonight is Breaking Bad and wine night with my friends, so if I have time to get the photos before I leave for that I will, otherwise it will be sometime tomorrow. Oh, and my light cycle has officially been changed to: 1:30 pm - Blues on 2:00 pm - Whites on 10:00 pm - Whites off 10:30 pm - Blues off I totally stole your cycle for now, Joel. Thanks!

JoelRHale Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Sounds fun, and you didn't steal it, it was going to be half yours anyways. I caught up on the walking dead btw. You told me to let you know. Link to comment

JoelRHale Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I liked it. (editing to not needless spoil anything for others) I did find that Dale's suspicion about Shane was so easily believed by all who heard it. It's not that I like Shane (I don't) but the chain of events didn't make logical sense to me. I also like that Rick is apparently a lot more gritty. Link to comment

It was like Dale somehow magically figure out what Shane did and then with no proof everyone believed him. Although honestly I can't stand Shane lately so if they figure out what a jerk he is, that's all for the good. And I'm totally with you about Rick. I'm glad he finally grew a pair. Link to comment
gena Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yeah, I'm so relieved the YWG is all healed up now. I was really worried about him for a bit because after he got stuck in the overflow box he was so stressed and it got way worse. Once he got settled again and started eating, it slowly healed. Oh, and you don't see any cyano because I spent 20 minutes picking all of it out by hand before I took photos. Its already back in force this morning My red slime remover is on its way though. If it was the same thing mine (and others) have had at least we know it is curable. I bet it wasn't the same thing though. Seems once they have it they are toast Yours probably did just injure himself in the move Great job cleaning the cyano....I couldn't even tell it was an issue. Link to comment

I think he must have just scraped his nose on a rock or something when I was trying to catch him with the net. Luckily he seems to be back to his healthy self. Unfortunately him and the pistol shrimp never paired back up. I know where both their burrow are and see them all the time but they apparently couldn't find one another. If I took a photo right now you'd see cyano again. It comes back overnight and I just keep manually removing it. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Looks great girl! Sorry about the brain, apparently they don't like you like Yumas hate me. The baby is coloring back up from stark white but momma is slowly dying, IDFK they are in the same kind of flow and etc. Kat wow! Did you tell the doctor about the palythoas? Hope they figure it out, and quick. My cyano actually looks better today VS yesterday after a WC and a manual removal via scrubbing and rinsing rocks that were bad. Hoping I can get this one with the WC and GFO. I went the chemical route with the flatworm exit and it went well, I just don't want to push my luck. Just remember to do a good WC and remove every piece you see then treat. Giant PITA. Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't know what the deal is with the brain because the brain I've had for a couple months is still puffy and happy as usual. This is why I'm so baffled as to what is wrong because whatever is killing the newer brain coral isn't bothering anything else. And yes, cyano is a serious PITA. But in good new, I have new coral I don't have time for pictures cause I'm headed to a bar to meet my friends and then its Breaking Bad/Wine night But look forward to photos tomorrow. I got: 1) Rainbow monti 2) Tyree sunset monti 3) Purple stylophora 4) Purple polyp birdsnest 5) Red Hornit Zoa (2 polyps- one polyp was a freebie) 6) 2 blue speckled purple mushrooms (freebies!) 7) Neon green cloves (freebies!)

JoelRHale Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Can't wait to see it all, still mad jelly though. Where are you in Breaking Bad? Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'll definitely try to get some photos of the new stuff tomorrow. Were partway through season 2. Like right after the Tuco kidnapping incident. Link to comment

Spirofucci Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Nice list of corals!!!! Please don't mention how much you paid for them, I don't want to ruin my weekend. Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Haha, Mark, I won't tell you how much I paid. They're tiny little frags though, so they definitely shouldn't have been too expensive. I feel bad for you guys that live somewhere where there isn't a big reefing community. Once I start fragging my coras, I'd love to trade for things so that we can increase our coral diversity without spending a ton of money Link to comment

Love the photo update. You have so many bright colors and great specimens. In other news, I finally got to dive in a kelp forest :wub: :wub: But I may have ear damage from trying to dive with a sinus infection Link to comment

Glad you liked the photos I'm so glad you got to go diving! What did you think of the kelp forests compared to tropical diving? Did you see any seals or sea lions? Anything really cool? Sorry to hear about your ear. I have a ton of allergy/sinus issues to I'd hardly ever get to dive if I cancelled because of that. I always take Sudaphed like 20 minutes before the dive and it fixes the issue. Hopefully you're ear isn't too damaged and will feel better in a couple days. Link to comment

Felicia Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Your scape went from pretty good to bada$$! Man, I miss a lot of stuff here and there. Hey Joe! Glad to see you back active on N-R today You have missed quite a bit with my tank since there was the recent move into the 30 gallon. It probably won't change much at all now since I'm really happy with it (except the red cyano I'm trying to eradicate right now ) and its pretty full already. ... psst. shark Link to comment
basicfisherman Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The first time you posted dive pictured made me look at cold water tanks, and now again. looks like an amazing time. I'm glad conditions were good for you. No idea on the gills, the only time I've seen flared gills is if a fish is pissed or holding like in cichlids. If he's breathing fine I wouldn't worry too much. Or a walleye when your trying to take the hook out of it's mouth! Link to comment
