Everything is looking great! I really like the LR you got, so much life! The red fuzzy fellas are probably sponges. They come in every shape, size, and color. That carribean rose is awesome! Glad to see its doing well for you.

 

Also, the "dead" coral that is showing life again is probably a form of porites. That happens often with that coral,and its a comon but neat hitch hiker.

Yup lots of red sponges.... and i think a few white fuzzy sponges too? I'm not sure. I can't get a good pic of them... but they seem attached to one wall on the glass... Maybe some kind of critter... Who knows. I'll keep trying for a photo.It's just in a corner behind a rock, so only the underside is viewable.

 

Got some mysis yesterday too, and man let me tell you my caribbean is loving them. Way better than the pellets at least.

 

So I'm looking at getting a fish next month.... Suggestions?

Got my SaltCritters corals! Got three mushrooms and a bunch of pink zoas. Shrooms were smaller than expected, but I had a gift certificate, so it's all good lol

 

Can't take any pictures right now, waiting for phone to be fixed.

Sorry for the late response I haven't been near a computer.

 

Might be too late but if your still looking for lighting, gu10 led bulbs from ebay and an ikea light will work awesome

Surprisingly I actually seem to have some bleaching issues with my camo zoas.

 

 

Do you like the pure marine balls? I was thinking about getting some for my biocube 29

 

I see no distinct difference in my tank whatsoever. I guess it's a clean-ish tank. Has all the usual issues: aiptasia/majanos, some bryopsis, etc. But nothing crazy new.

 

 

UPDATE: went to FL for spring break and left my tank in the hands of my dorm mate.... bad idea. She's from Mexico and has a hard time understanding written instructions apparently, even after they were explained. She put WAY too much water to top off EVERY SINGLE DAY. So I can back and my salinity was like 18.... ugh. My zoas are NOT happy at all, my camos are bleaching from the light being left on too long two days in a row.... Ugh. The Oranges don't want to open... although they are coming back out. The pinks haven't budged at all yet. Last time I leave my tank, that's for sure. Have to put new bioballs in tonight, will see if that helps.

Another update. My camos were bleaching, so I ended up just going into a blackout for the weekend to kinda give everything some down time. Came back a little bit later to check on them, and with my blinds open, it kept the light natural and minimal. Everything is coming back strong. The pinks and oranges are opening. I don't know, though, maybe the bioballs did the trick. I couldn't tell you for sure.

 

Looking at getting a fish soon. Or maybe a pom pom. I love pom poms... :wub:

Looking into some gobies for the tank. I have a couple months before I head back, so although not ideal, it would be better for me to get my fish now and give it some time rather than attempt to find a LFS in the Youngstown area when I head back home.

 

My current ideas:

Hi-Fin Red Banded Goby

Cave Transparent Goby

Neon Goby

Clown Goby

Jester Goby (maybe not sure yet)

Jaguar Goby (only concern is the heavy diet)

 

 

whats a jaded animu?

 

my username? It's just something I came up with a long time ago and it just kinda stuck with me. Kinda a play on words since my middle name is Jade. Anime is the name for Japanese cartoons.
