Chris! Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Today I found a dreaded aptasia. I look at the tank daily, and all of the sudden BAM! there's one staring me in the eye. I used some super glue gel to glue over it. Not sure where it came from, although I have an idea. I did kill two smaller one's on a frag that came in quite awhile ago. I always find it funny how those just slip by some vendors.... umm keep them outta your tanks and do better fragging them off/ killing them before they make it into your systems. If something like that makes it in, it always makes me wonder what else they have brewing in their systems.... yuck I told em not to smoke rock, I ain't paying for that, just the games. The dogs are British lab, lab/Shepard mix and a yorkie. The little one runs the show. The big black one hates minorities and anyone trying to come in the yard. The British lab is dumb as a box of rocks. Lol I don't think I've ever even heard of a British lab before. I want an english mastiff so maybe if I get one they can get together and drink tea with their pinkies up LOL Link to comment
Tamberav Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I found a 2nd one.. they came in on the gulf rock. I tried murdering them both with lemon juice. Will see if effective when the lights come on tomarrow. Link to comment

He's only about 60lbs. Mastiffs are really cool. My favorite dog is the Doberman. My wife doesn't like them, so obviously we had to compromise. I hate aptasia. I've always been lucky and very careful not to introduce them into my systems. Once I saw the few tiny ones on the plug I knew I'd have more, sure enough I found the one. Hopefully I've nipped it in the ass. I found a 2nd one.. they came in on the gulf rock. I tried murdering them both with lemon juice.

I'd hate to see anyone get overrun, or even constant killing sprees. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Updated pics for new goodies coming later today. I also updated the polyp list yesterday. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Finally added the mp10 and removed the three powerheads/wave makers I had. Here's a few shots of the new frags. Bear with me I'm working with a 50mm lense, so shots aren't all that close. I'll try using my tube extender later. http://flic.kr/p/o7sQ3m'>http://flic.kr/p/o7sQ3m'>IMG_8444 by -Nanofreak79- http://flic.kr/p/o7yvnM'>http://flic.kr/p/o7yvnM'>IMG_8452 by -Nanofreak79- http://flic.kr/p/o7sPtA'>http://flic.kr/p/o7sPtA'>IMG_8451 by -Nanofreak79- http://flic.kr/p/o7ysYP'>http://flic.kr/p/o7ysYP'>IMG_8450 by -Nanofreak79- http://flic.kr/p/o7rmGy'>http://flic.kr/p/o7rmGy'>IMG_8449 by -Nanofreak79- Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks buddy. Can't wait to get a damn macro. This tube thingy I got is really hard to get good pics with. Taking out the tripod right now to see if that helps. Prob not. Link to comment

Nanofreak79 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah, I'll try. I just put all of them onto the rock today. My lense is a fixed 50mm, hence the further shots. I can try my ps camera. Give me a bit. Link to comment

Horerczy Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I would get one of those fancy cameras but then i remember i like having coral more than taking pictures of it. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I may or may not. I may get rid of it. The guy who gave it to me said all it needed was a new battery and or a charger. I may sell it,I may keep it. Idk lol I've got a ass load of cameras just laying around... Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 I would get one of those fancy cameras but then i remember i like having coral more than taking pictures of it.It ruined my coral budget. Lol. And I'm still taking mediocre pics. I'll be getting a new lens, macro! I may or may not. I may get rid of it. The guy who gave it to me said all it needed was a new battery and or a charger. I may sell it,I may keep it. Idk lol I've got a ass load of cameras just laying around...National camera exchange. Get some money for coral. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Visited the local chop shop today. Damn that store had the worst/sick/dying selection of coral. Thank god my wife gives me a budget for only nice stuff. Lmao. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah,I'm thinking about it. In waiting for RareReef to have another sale and I'm snagging some stuff,especially because shipping is only $17 for us floridians. They have a ass load of Hawaiian Zoa's and cheap frags. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 You floridians and your coral spots. Don't know how good you have it. Lol Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Oh don't get me wrong dood,there's some down right HORRIBLE places here too. And some shops are better at some things than other. The one shop that is TOP SHELF is about a 30 minute drive,the closer ones are only good for RFA's and fish/inverts. And the other shop is just down right expensive for plain jane sh*t. When I lived up north in Virgina,the only "decent" place was Mr.Coral Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 I just buy from a like three or four online places that I like and trust. I know I'm getting healthy, happy coral. Link to comment
