FlowerMama Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Gert was hiding. Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Looks great! Looks like the color is coming back some on the corals from the other tank. They probably just had to adjust to the lower lighting. Glad to see its all so happy and healthy. I was hoping to see Gertie though She's always so entertaining in your videos. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 I certainly need to get another video of her, she hasn't been coming to the front glass as much. Her home of course is in the back now so she hangs out more there but I think she's grown since I've moved here. I'll see if I can get one soon. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Grandis Paly looking better. Duncan is smaller. I'm gonna have to maybe put it in the 10g. Used to be the size of a fat pudgy softball, now it's barely an apple. And I think it's because it needs better light. Link to comment
spectra Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Do you feed the duncans? I spot feed mine along with RFAs and it has grown a bunch. Mine is also in a shaded area. Palys look great! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 In my other tanks I basically broadcast fed and they grew from one head that was in my Evolve 8 to grapefruit side in the 34g. I'll get it some food here tonight to see if that helps him but I know he needs more light. It's just I have no room in my 10g if it blows up to a softball but I may have to try move something around. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 My duncans always grows like crazy when I spot feed mysis. They don't seem to care how much light they get as long as they get fed Link to comment
spectra Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 My duncans always grows like crazy when I spot feed mysis. They don't seem to care how much light they get as long as they get fed This is what I found also as mine is shaded by a frag rack but still grows. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Newstead came through town to visit her son so it was a pleasure meeting her and I hope to get up to Charlotte some time to hit up Nemo's and pay a visit. She brought me some gracilaria and a little blue mushroom. I have the blue/green ones and red but not blue. So now I have a cute little blue one. And the gracilaria is in Gert's tank and doing well.

FlowerMama Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Been a while w/o pics. Gertie likes her home in the back. She's doing well. Still no problems with the 6line and goby. This was a mushroom rock that had 3 hairy mushrooms but after the electrocution only 1 survived. Some kind of paly. Caulerpa and dragons breath are doing well. Going to do another water change for this one in just a bit. I did one Tues or Wed when I was home with car troubles but need to do again cuz nitrate was too high. Warming water now. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'll be taking about 4 rocks out of this tank to put into the 40 as I'll only be buying like 20 lbs of live rock for the 40. That should be enough for my 40. I want to do less rocks than more since I'll have leathers, softies like my pipe organ, macro & gorgs & nems. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 She felt up my finger and left so she missed her opportunity for feeding tonight!!! She has a nice soft touch. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 So I wanted to hold off but I couldn't because I have somewhere to store them while the tank cycles. So flowers are in the 10g and here I have...... Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Neon Green Sinularia Branching GSP and a day later.... I got the branching gsp as a Buy It now on eBay and the neon green sinularia was auction- both purchased through SoCalAqua Farms. I just really loved the Briarium. I like both, should be a nice pop of green from both. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Doing well over here with the branching gsp. Even more open today. I love this green!!! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 I was excited when I found it. They were saying in the Softie Revolution thread only the folks in CA or Oregon had seen it. Branching Gsp, called Briarium apparently. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Just a snippet again of the branching gsp. Doing well. I'm contemplating cutting the left turn off of it and putting it on a frag plug and then I'd have 2, they'd be rather similar in height. I wonder if cutting it there makes it branch out more like a tree does. Link to comment
Sunstar Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 prune it into an animal shaped bush.... Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 prune it into an animal shaped bush.... Actually, when I took it out of the bag, it fell off the plug. Just found out I mounted it wrong. I sent the same video to the one that I bought it from. I'll have to right it. " Looks good but I noticed you remounted it. I always try to mount corals the direction they're growing when I cut it since they seem just to keep growing and don't have to start again in a new direction. If you notice the pink tips sticking out on the side, those were the new branches that were starting to grow up when it was laying down. Usually they have to mat out before they start sending up new ones, so it happens faster when you let them keep going in the direction they already were. Either way it should do great" So...I have to fix it. Need to buy some glue. Link to comment
Sunstar Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I had a bit of coral I glued upside down once. LOL too me a few days to realise what happened Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 I need to let it fall back like a person would if you push them in the chest, so the pink tips are the only things facing up. So 3 tips in the air and the ends. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Here are my 2 corals that came today and were put in Gertie's tank when I came home. My Devil's Hand And the toadstool leather which I think is a Long Polyp Toadstool. Still has more polyp extension to go but I can see it'll be pretty. I love it already. Link to comment
