MikeTR Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Getting bolder by the day. Also helps that my leopard wrasse isn't harassing him as much. Pretty excited. Link to comment

MikeTR Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 [ [/url] Time to add some additional room for more sps. Perhaps I'll finally get rid of a rack or two... maybe.. hopefully.. help? lol.. this was most of the rock I removed from those damn brown frown clove polyps. Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrn.. Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I can't believe she let you do that to the garden. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Not many updates in a while.. I found some more cloves growing on the back of a rock. Majorly disappointed about that. Just got around to doing my 3rd water change this year. Had some cyano patches starting to pop up that I vacuumed out so will have to try and step up on at least monthly water changes. About a month ago I ran into a stability issue. Calc reactor ran out of gas which I was able to catch it in time, but did not foresee having a problem with the seal to connect the co2 tank to the regulator. Always happens a few days before I go out of town so while gone I had someone dosing alk for me. Still ended up losing a few SPS frags and some other things are showing tip burn. Kinda frustrating. I'll be better prepared next time, ordered some extra seals for the regulator. Tank is back stable once again and the LPS is lookin nice Link to comment
RIP Sebastian Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Awwwww yissssss! I love this tank. Link to comment

MikeTR Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Lots of new salts on the market - what made you pick Fritz? consistency from batch to batch.. and the numbers are spot on. What really sold me was a local had some triton tests done and water params were much better after he switched. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 hmm... Earl is missing.. these look like battle wounds. Here's to you Earl! You're in big trouble mister if you're hiding in the overflow.. although I used my iphone video to take a peak and didn't see ya. Link to comment
Newstead Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Oh no... hope you find Earl alive and well. Oh no... hope you find Earl alive and well. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Orange passion on point. Luckily it didn't suffer from my alk swing as did the bird behind it. Love the hurricane chalice.. yuge Mystic sunset.. hard to take a pic of, had to adjust.. holographic polyps and hot pink base. Also took a little ride over to reef gardeners and picked up a whole bunch of stuff.. oh em gee.. got a trach that'll make your panties wet. Link to comment
Slowtwitch Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Looks good Mike. I'll gladly take a piece of the orange passion should you ever frag it. That brain behind the Mystic is awesome. Any sign of Earl? Link to comment
MikeTR Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 No sign of earl. Brittle stars don't look fat either. I did get about 10 tonga nassarius coincidentally about the same time as his disappearance. I don't think they went after him considering their struggle to eat pellets. I checked around the rim of the tank, on top of the light, behind the tank.. I still haven't checked the overflows other than trying to get some peaks with the camera. I'm not sure how good he might be at hiding behind the pipes. Need someone to help me lift the canopy top up. I will be so happy if he's in there. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 I know .. I just looked for him again Link to comment
