sam_the_reefer Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Just did some major trimming. The bigger red shroom to the lower left and the bigger green one to the lower right "detached" but left babies. I fished out the green one, but the red one disappeared from where it settled (maybe something ate it). I was able to borrow a Dremel and used the opportunity to frag the bigger orange yuma at the back. No FTS at the moment because the rubble filled petri dish with shrooms recovering and attaching is too distracting, but I do have baby pics. In 4 days it will be a year since I got the carpet nem and I'm still conflicted whether I'll keep it or not. 2 Quote Link to comment

sam_the_reefer Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 After a year, I finally decided to keep the nem. This means I needed to rescape so it doesn't always get irritated by the big orange yuma. I'm trying to get some shrooms that decided to detach to reattach again, so pardon the baby bottles. 5 Quote Link to comment

And a willingness to get rid of it if the upgrade doesn't happen. RFA's or mini carpet nems are really the only appropriately sized ones for a 13.5 gallon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Great to see that the anemone has done well. I believe that part of the reason these types are considered difficult is that they suffer from shipping stress. If I remember correctly, yours is locally sourced which would account for it doing well. That is one big, colorful and bubbly Yuma! 1 Quote Link to comment

sam_the_reefer Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Some updates. Changed the scape a bit after adding the new zoa branch. Quote Link to comment
sam_the_reefer Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Tank's still chugging along. I was expecting a big diatom/cyano bloom after taking out most of the ochtodes and vacuuming most of the substrate during my last rescape, but that didn't happen (yet?). I noticed how full it looks from this angle while cleaning. Also latest FTS 1 Quote Link to comment
sam_the_reefer Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Left the tank on autopilot for a week during the holidays, and happy to report that everything is fine and dandy. Will post pics after I clean it up. Quote Link to comment

sam_the_reefer Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Fed Fuel-soaked prawn bits to the nem, but I really think it's reacting to the orange Yuma. I may end up putting either of them for adoption. Quote Link to comment
sam_the_reefer Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Changed the scape to keep the ric from stinging the nem. I think it turned out well. 3 Quote Link to comment
