Reefkid88 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Damn,that sucks about the hornets. Was it a fresh cut frag ? The surface skimmer looks pretty good. I was going to get one,but it won't fit my girlfriends pico. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 I'm not sure about the hornets. When I was acclimating them they looked ok to me. I didn't see any pests. I put them in the tank and hoped for the best. But when everything else started opening up I was getting a little worried. Now they are pretty much a total loss. But I have seen some crazy things happen with this 1 zoa frag in our living room tank. It was completely dead and then very slowly more polyps started to grow. So I'm just going to leave them in the tank for now. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Still sucks though,maybe contact rare reef ( that's where you got them from right ? ) and see what they think. I had the same thing happen to a lot of my Zoa's in my first saltwater tank. Some withered away completely almost no flesh left and then sprouted new polyps after awhile. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 He has a policy that you have to take a pic of the dead coral within 1 hour of receiving it. And even then you only get store credit. Can't get a refund for shipping. I don't like that policy. But I guess it's the price you pay for ordering online. I won't dwell on it. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hmm,most places it's 2 hours,but like you said that's what you get from ordering online. It's always hit or miss. That's the only downside. Maybe just let them be and they'll re grow for you ? That'd always be nice. I wouldn't consider them goners just yet. How's everything else doing ? Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 That's the plan. Just going to leave them. It'll be a little science project I guess haha. Everything else is doing great. I'm home for the long weekend so the tank is in my roommate's hands. Clowns and wrasse are looking very healthy, acans are always hungry, and the zoas are still growing. I'm interested to see how my clowns react to the new surface skimmer. They always sleep in that back left corner and I kind of took it away from them. Ah. And the cleaner shrimp molted for the first time the other day. Scared the shit out of me because I saw the skin getting sucked into the skimmer and thought it was him. Then I realized it was just a molt lol. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 It's been a while! The tank is still going strong. Not much had changed until this past Sunday when I got a red firefish! Love this fish. He's still very timid and has not come out of the rocks much. He will poke out but then if a fish swims by he backs up into the rock. I'm sure he'll get more brave in a few days. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Tanks looking great. I'm looking at picking up that surface skimmer, badass. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks guys. Well the firefish came out from the rock but isn't looking good at all. Breathing heavily and starting to float. I took him out of the tank and put him in a bucket of tank water. We'll see if he makes it. He was probably stressing out to death. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm calling it Not sure what exactly happened. I guess he was just too stressed. Nothing out of the ordinary on his body. Other fish in the tank are doing great. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 That sucks. Sorry to hear about the fire fish. Link to comment

Acielot Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Is your avatar of salted aguaves? I saw some on Rare-reef and was really tempted to grab some Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 yep. they are actually the aguaves frag that i bought from rare reef. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 You too ?! I'll be there mid afternoon. Link to comment
Dylan.N Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Update time! Went to Living Reef today because I didn't feel like driving out to Top Shelf. While I was there I got a nice $10 duncan. Some other changes to the tank are the frogspawn that I got from Top Shelf last week, the rock flower has receded into a rock (might be dying), some pulsing xenia, mummy eye chalice, and some other things. We moved into a house so the tank and my roommates tank are in the office. We also have a tank in the living room and he has a 7 gallon cube in his room. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Looking good man !!! What happens to the clam ?! Be lucky you didn't ride out to Top Shelf,it was fu*king packed. Link to comment
