W Your source and Vengs must be the same, you both got Mochas masquerading as regular orange clownfish. And how is the tank looking. 3 days are done. Link to comment

I added a cheap orange and green lobo on the new found sand space I have! Will try and post a pic soon. W- Link to comment

Though yours appear much more orange than mine. Mine really seem to be more red. Link to comment

ward827 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 I see what you did there. Yes, I am going to try them again. Loved the smaller ones I had before.But right now I'm afraid they'd have not a lot to eat. Link to comment
ward827 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 FTS 8/11/13 All GHA is GONE! Peroxide drip did the trick. (Well, except for a few hermits that have hair algae mohawks). Rescaped, more room on the sand bed to the lower right. Recent additions: 6 head purple acan from Serenity. Now has 4 new baby heads!Lobo brain from the cheap bin at DNA.6 head Duncan fragged from a 15 head colony Everything else is doing well. Derasa is now 6 months old and going strong. Not the most colorful of clams, but hey. He's doing well. And the hammer in front continues to grow. W- Link to comment

ward827 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Oh, don't worry, I'm happy now! I just recounted the heads on the purple acan . . .Started at 6. Now 13 including babies! Link to comment
ward827 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Post vaca update . . . Got home and tank looked great. No algae had grown. Well, except on the glass. An easy wipe down. Sally "Gordon' Lightfoot molted. Green rock nem decided to take a little walk and ventured out of his hole.He actually found a better spot. Nuclear greens had a few babies . . .1 vaca casualty, the derasa clam. Had it for 6 months. Always seems there'ssomething after a vaca. I found a nice new zebra striped derasa to put the tank back in balance. Link to comment
ward827 Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 9/9/13 update Tank remains basically GHA free. Powerhead, return and glass get the occasional light dusting of it. Easy to scrape/toothbrush away.Added a multi-branch 7" Eunice Eco-Gorg. Crazy polyp extension!Growing and almost fully encrusted over its plug. Am now on a zoa search, specifically a nice 3x3 zoa rock.Will post a new FTS when able. W- Link to comment
