albertthiel Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Cheato is in. Nice Chris ... If I remember you made a mod to it so you could hide the pump ... which one are you using since the one they sell with it may not have enough oomph when placed lower in the tank. Albert Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Using the stock pump. I actually modded it so I could place it higher in the tank. I have so much rock in the tank that to "hide it" would be taxing at best. The pump is small and will soon be covered in coralline algae. By having it high in the tank, it also allows easy access for cleaning/maintenance. Chris Link to comment

metrokat Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Well, I guess the "New" Mr Coral, is about the same as the old one. I'm sorry. Link to comment
aaron1987 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Noted for reference as I stock... disappointing. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yes. Disappointed. They did throw in a freebie. Nothing special. Small polyp on a plug. Maybe I can turn these zeros into heros. Link to comment
pyronus Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 That's some crap. Its really not even worth the shipping for 2 heads of a zoa on a plug. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Mr coral refunded me the price of one of the frags. $4.99. I told them that it wasn't about the cost of the frag. Disappointed that apparently the missing polyps melted during shipping and didn't receive what I was expecting. Unrelated random photo. Link to comment

pablom617 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 We should start a crammed 20 Long thread Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks for stopping in. It was kind of a deju vue thing when I looked at your FTS. I don't have the colonies that you do but I saw some similarities in the whole theme of the tank. Lots of rock and lots of coral! My kind of reef. And I have some caves. Link to comment

Yeah man I really like the look of your tank! The monti and chalice set it off! Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks. Probably due for an updated FTS. I get caught up in photographing isolated areas and individual specimens. I think I will take a FTS today after the lights come on. Link to comment
pyronus Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Those are some starving acans. Feed those poor babies some mysis already. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Those are some starving acans. Feed those poor babies some mysis already. Trust me. They get fed. I feed the Dendros twice a day and the Acans are hard to ignore. I probably over feed. Hence the Calerpa issues. I am catching up with the Calerpa. A few isolated spots are left. Adding the fuge is helping. I caught Scutus snail munching on it last night. Sorry Maria. Got a little tipsy and forgot about the promised FTS. Pistol Shrimp is keeping busy rearranging all the Zoas that aren't locked down. Pissing me off. Link to comment
