kimberbee Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Leaving in a bit to visit my mom, and we're going to take a trip to the LFS by her house. I'm on the lookout for either a good sized euphyllia, monticap of some kind, or a birdsnest. Maybe... maybe a fish if they have a good selection. However, I did realize, that out of all the things I've purchased from them, only 3 items are still alive - undata, cleaner shrimp, and a tiny frogspawn. I think cause I purchase tiny frags, or single headed items, the chance of survival is low. I also bought a lot more from them when I was first starting out. So I'm going to look only a really good sized items today making sure I know what I'm getting into! Link to comment

kimberbee Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 let me know if u see anything good. my hammer and torch from them recently are still doing good. Euphyllias are $23 and sps frags are $25. Not big frags though, maybe 1-2 inch ones. Pretty much the same stock as always with a few very high end mushrooms. Link to comment

kimberbee Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 what?! from Reefwise? crazy. i thought they dip all their corals... Yup. And of course I didn't acclimate to my tank until 10pm. So I was all ready to get to bed and had to figure out how to dip... Link to comment

kimberbee Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Kind of sad I'll be taking this one down in just a few months to move to the bigger tank. I do plan to keep roughly the same scape though... Link to comment
teenyreef Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's really looking beautiful. The plates are like little islands Link to comment

kimberbee Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hard to count, but I'm pretty sure the black sun now has 12 heads! Link to comment
BJV Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Very nice black sun coral. I sure like mine. Barry Link to comment
vlangel Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It is sad to think of this tank coming down. It is really developing nicely. Hopefully when you move it to the other tank everything will just pick up 2here you left it off. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I wish I was a little fish so I could bounce on them!! Any advice on how to make plate corals so happy? I have a new one that is not NEARLY that inflated; it only inflates at night when I feed it. Hows the flow where they are? Any video? Link to comment
kimberbee Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Man... videos are so hard. I'm sure you have a recent FTS and video... post it up and I'll have a look. It is sad to think of this tank coming down. It is really developing nicely. Hopefully when you move it to the other tank everything will just pick up 2here you left it off. I know, I actually really like it right now!! Link to comment
spectra Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hard to count, but I'm pretty sure the black sun now has 12 heads! That sun coral looks nice I need to find a black sun coral. Any advice on how to make plate corals so happy? I have a new one that is not NEARLY that inflated; it only inflates at night when I feed it. Hows the flow where they are? Any video? I feed mine at all hours of the day. They will eat during the day no problem. They are puffed up at night as that is there nature. Kind of like a scoly opens up when it is dark. Link to comment
kimberbee Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 That sun coral looks nice I need to find a black sun coral. The little orange one I got with 3 heads about a year ago from my ex. It now has 7 tiny heads on it. I need it to GROWWWW!! I started adding Reef Energy A&B to this tank and my fusion. I got some freebie bottles at Aquatic Experience that I kept forgetting about. I'm going to start with dosing 2x per week for the rest of January. Then each week in Feb. I'll bump it up an extra day per week. We'll see if it helps any... Link to comment
