WhiskyTango Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Looks good, I doing a similar zoa and ric tope myself! Link to comment
natalia_la_loca Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Legendary order arrived yesterday Most of my new babies aren't ready for prime time yet. Nearly all of them had open polyps in the bag, but they closed up when I did a Coral Rx dip. They're all coming around, and my two faves are really bouncing back: Utters Petroglyphs These are really, really beautiful. And I have to add that everything I've heard about the stellar packaging, attention to detail, friendliness and all around f***ing awesomeness of Legendary Corals is absolutely true. They are a fantastic small business. Support them. Now if I could just get my hands on some blondies and some ultra rastas... Side shot...needs more color! Link to comment

Oh I'll be ordering again, I just need to pace myself...I've only got so much space in this tank Link to comment
gena Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Awesome tank and Z/P collection!!!!! What part of the midwest are you in? I'm originally from NW Indiana and my mom is still there. The weather has been brutal for them as well. I noticed you mentioned dosing aminos in your first post. Be careful with that! I ran into trouble with algae when I dosed it a couple of years ago.

Nanofreak79 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I had to back off my elos amino supplements. Mad algae growth! Link to comment

I ran into trouble with algae when I dosed it a couple of years ago. Thanks I really love my little nano. It's so simple compared to my seahorse tank. I adore my seahorses, but they're a handful I'm in the tundra of michigan, finally thawing out....finally! Pretty sure this is the nastiest winter I've ever seen. I appreciate the warning about the aminos. I'm dosing them very sparingly, just a few drops a week now. Im ready to discontinue them anytime, but so far so good. Link to comment
Dark_ice Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I had to back off my elos amino supplements. Mad algae growth! worth it, when i feed my zoas the next morning my tank is brown. im okay with this Link to comment

My mom and her husband are threatening to move to Michigan. He has property up there and they want to build a house on it. I can't remember the name of the city but it's right along the eastern side of Lake Michigan so supposedly it doesn't get quite as cold (still cold though) and as much snow. It looks really pretty from the photos I've seen. I think it's near Traverse City. No problem on the aminos. I haven't used them since having that issue with them. Link to comment

Are they going to be there year round??? Kinda thought lake effect would lead to some super intense winters. I know that happens downstate along Lake MI...massive snow drifts and that. That said, the Lake MI shoreline near traverse city is wonderful in summertime. Such a beautiful place. Aaaaaaaand more z/p pics as they continue to open up and acclimate: Starry nights (weird how the cam makes the rocks behind look all mossy, it's just green film algae, all GHA is gone) Ghostbusters, these lost some of their color but are coloring up again Link to comment
WhiskyTango Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Its gonna nice in a few months when those colonies take off. Link to comment

Nanofreak79 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Love those ghostbusters. Did they come slightly subdued, or did it just happen in your tank? Link to comment

They lost some of their color before shipping. Darwin was super nice about it, he let me know beforehand and gave me some freebies to compensate Link to comment

They look super cool, and bright when colored up.......I'm sure you know Link to comment

chazde3 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm in the tundra of michigan, finally thawing out....finally! Pretty sure this is the nastiest winter I've ever seen. So many Michiganders around here now it seems. And yeah this winter has been one of the worst in my 25 years here. I kept thinking this was coming with the last 2 mild winters we had. Link to comment
natalia_la_loca Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 So many Michiganders around here now it seems. Reef tanks hold a special attraction for Great Lakes peeps...the ocean is so close, yet so far away... Link to comment

I think they are crazy. They are in their mid to late 60s. They should be thinking warmer not colder LOL. Oh well . Beautiful Zs and Ps . Link to comment

Oh well . "Crazy" is precisely the word that came to mind... OTOH, all that snow is pretty. I like looking at it--while sitting inside wrapped in a blanket and drinking a hot toddy with my sweetie Link to comment
natalia_la_loca Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 moar peeshurs!!!! Fire and ice are fully recovered. No hydroids in sight woohoo!!! Also really loving how these little blue zoas are coloring up. I got them over a year ago at a frag swap, but they got all pale and just kind of sat there in my seahorse tank...now they've got much better color, polyp extension. The blue in the vice zoas (I think they're called royal flush, I got them from Aquascapers last year) has gotten a lot more intense too. They don't really fluoresce under actinics, but they're beautiful under daylights... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here's a pic of one of the utters pooping Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Pictures are Saweeeeeeet Link to comment
natalia_la_loca Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Pictures are Saweeeeeeet I'm getting a little better at taking pics with my phone. That's one good thing about the stock lights on this nuvo (in addition to they really do grow the Zs and Ps!!!)...there's enough white light that it's not that hard to get a decent photo.
