Sunar357 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Well finally declaring the Tailspot MIA. Haven't seen him in a few weeks. Contacted the guy I got the skunk from and he said I can come pick up another for free if I wish. I may...but i'm not sure what to do with this guy. He's eating but he's so pitiful looking swimming at the top all the time. Link to comment

No she's just worried about opening her mouth wide enough so her lipstick remains pristine hahahahaha Nothing worse than a piece of rice stuck on your blood red lips *grin*. LOL You goof!

Sunar357 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Well got dang't! Found my molly dead last night. No idea what was wrong with her. She was looking like her fins were beat up and I figured it was her messing with the clowns so she went in the sump. When I found her dead it looked like her fins were gone so maybe it was a fin rot thing? Ugh! Damn ups and downs of aquariums! Link to comment
DannaM Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ohhhh, sorry that happened Hope whatever she had was localized to her and doesn't spread. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 TY, everyone else seems to be fine, thankfully. My yellow and purple wrasse is so settled in now he's out in the mornings. Link to comment

frags Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 How do you like you led fixture? Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I know...I know...I need more pics. LOL How do you like you led fixture? I like it a lot. I think it has a nice spread. The only thing i'd want to improve is adding a controller....so it may eventually get replaced. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Amazingly i'm not dead! Just been very busy with work and such so not on much. Not too much has changed except my pink skunk is now acting like a normal fish...so i'm guessing it was a temporary illness or problem which is good. I did pick up two Firefish the other day. Local guy I get my fish from had something go on with his tanks and they were crashing all over so he gave me two firefish so we could get them into a good tank. They seem to be doing well now though only one is out that often. They like to hide in the same cave they made under my rocks. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Pics with my usual awesome cam skills! New Firefish FTS 2/24 My cheap acros I threw in there seem to be tanking and/or gone. Ahwell! Not a big fan of them anyhow. I just got them cause they were so cheap. LOL My Duncan has a bunch of new heads sprouting and one of my Candycanes is splitting into two. Someday i'll get around to putting more on the rocks...sand bed is full of coral. Doh! Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Firefish doing well but the Yellow and Purple wrasse died. No idea why either as there were no external signs at all and she seemed to be eating fine. Link to comment
markalot Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Firefish doing well but the Yellow and Purple wrasse died. No idea why either as there were no external signs at all and she seemed to be eating fine. Sorry to hear about the Wrasse. Sometimes it happens with no explanation. I wonder if your acros had AEFW or some other pest? I had the hardest time keeping them in my 40 until I figured out they were infested. I still have an infestation in y 46 and any acro added becomes pale, struggles, and eventually dies. Only a closeup look with a bright light and a magnifying glass (my 50 year old eyes!) shows that the paleness comes from lots of tiny AEFW bite marks. Not what the 40 seems to be AEFW free the acros I put in not only maintain color but actually improve. I went away for a week and the topoff failed in my 40. Water level dropped about 2 inches, salinity up to 37, KH down to 6 ... acros look fine. So, you may want to go ahead and remove all of them and keep the tank acro free for 2 months, then try again. Here's a closeup example of AEFW damage. Just looked pale to the naked eye. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Honestly I don't plan on getting any more acros. The only reason I got these ones was because they were dirt cheap. $2-5 each. I'm really not an acro fan. Euphyllia are my favorites so i'm going to be picking up a torch and adding that in to the top left rock I think. Link to comment

I'd like to know more about the different torches. I have a gold torch that looks good and is expanding, but stays small. My green torch, on the other hand, can extend up to 10 inches and is slowly taking over the right side of my 46. I see pictures of these compact green torches and wonder if they will all grow large if given the space or if there's different varieties. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 I love euphyllia. I'll probably add a green torch but hold off on a gold awhile because of cost. I've read all different things about them. Some think it's flow, some think it's lighting, some think it's established time, others think there are different varieties. I personally think there probably are different varieties that adapted in different ways in the wild. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I've been slacking on the forums lately. I went to a swap on Saturday and picked up a few things. Armor of God Paly frag, a mixed zoa frag, a big camo green shroom with white dots and............a pink (red) BTA! The BTA realllllllly does look pink with specks of white. I know I kept saying no dang BTA's in this tank...but I did it. Damn the man! I'd turned down my lighting a lot a couple weeks back and now growth has boomed in some of my frags. My monti, acans, blastos, palys and my Duncan are popping heads like crazy. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 WTHeck! Looks like Imageshack went pay on me. Ok, time to find a new upload place. Link to comment
