Spirofucci Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Someday, I'll have a purdy sump like yours. I have a sump saving piggy bank, but I keep robbing it for corals. Quote Link to comment
patback Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Someday, I'll have a purdy sump like yours. I have a sump saving piggy bank, but I keep robbing it for corals. I had a big jar that all my change and singles would go into after I bought somthing, whether it was gas or food or whatever. It was supposed to be the only money I spent on coral or fish... Guess how long that lasted? Quote Link to comment

Spirofucci Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 At 104 corals you have me beat. I have a prizm favia I've had for 6 months, it never grew and is almost dead, so now it's 103. Quote Link to comment
albertthiel Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) I have a prizm favia I've had for 6 months, it never grew and is almost dead, so now it's 103. Any idea what happened to it? Predation or damage and infection ... Was it a Dragon Soul ? I had a big jar that all my change and singles would go into after I bought somthing, whether it was gas or food or whatever. It was supposed to be the only money I spent on coral or fish... Guess how long that lasted? Did it last more than a week ? Great idea but IME that is what happens to most of us who try to create a little "fund" .. it never seems to last for more than a week or two ... : - ( Edited August 28, 2012 by albertthiel Quote Link to comment

I bought atleast 1 frag a week when I got my water refilled at the lfs while my little jar sat with the 18 bucks in it for months. Haha (it did not come from Morgan, btw) I can't wait to get some maxi minis from her. I emailed her months ago and still haven't made the room or the money to get the ones I want.

(it did not come from Morgan, btw) Sorry to read that ... yes when damaged getting them back to health can be a real issue indeed. Hope your next one is in top condition, that is if you get one Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 I was running some errands and stopped in to a Japanese supermarket. I picked up a small package of fresh Fish Roe. I took a little bit and washed it out in water and dumped it in the tank. The fishies went crazy for it! The best part was that it is fresh, not frozen, not preserved and there was no residue in the tank, no cloudy water nothing. Some of the fish look ready to burst so I'll have to feed less than 1/2 of what I threw in today. Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Hundley the Tail Spot Blenny had jumped into the skimmer compartment. This is how I lost the YCG so I'm glad I spotted him before the skimmer decided to make lunch out of him. Tail spot, spotted, ha. I glued a piece of eggcrate to make a sort of a grate to prevent more fish jumping. I really can't wait to custom make the next sump, this one is annoying me a lot.

Thanks for sharing. Your tank is really looking great. Thank you so much Thats awesome! I'm gonna have to try that. My mandarin likes NutraMar Ova, she'll probably go NUTS for some freshie!! The particle size is quite large compared to Ova but you saw the video. Also, I'm trying another product called Dr G's Caviar Max. But at $20 a bottle, it is fish roe suspended in liquid, where as I paid under $3 for the same amount of fish roe, and FRESH at that! from the supermarket.
