O yeah, I love the snuggling clowns. What is cuter than that? Thank you Dawn. Yes- we do enjoy the clowns ?. Ya, I am not happy with my wife angle lens shots for FTS so I just use up the iPad. Such blue colors though with that. I'll try some new shots again today with the wide angle. Heading back to SLC for the week so I'd be nice to have some new pics to edit while I am there ?

teenyreef Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Came back from being away for a week and really noticed the growth of the corals . Alk is rock solid with the doser - love it. Dosing 72ml. a day now to keep Alk at 7. Got some shots this afternoon. Here's a mix of iPad and some macro shots Season's greetings, grafted cap and orange/red encrusting Monti are loving the light and showing some really nice growth spin stream Poci is out of control yes it's still spinning FTS Purple Stylo about an inch from the surface now Pink Stylo Spin stream Poci Encrusting Monti - with one little green polyp sticking out Clowns doing their dance I love that this tank just keeps chuggin along even after you started transferring stuff to the big tank. It looks better than ever! My spinstream keeps growing algae. I think I need to glue a frag of something on it to crowd out the algae Link to comment

Chris! Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yes- it's a WWC grafted- the rate it growing that should be too long! Yeah I thought it was just a small piece on a plug, looks like its having no problem growing at all for you lol What doser is it your using again? I have a calcium reactor but might go with a doser until demand is higher so I don't have to hand dose at all lol Link to comment

If I can find some atime my LFS I will get it. Ha! That's right ?. Ora Ponape Birdsnest- they can order one from orafarm.com. They also have some really nice red varieties- ck em out. Look under hard coral then Seriatopora Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Took the ponape birdsnest apart a bit today and dug out the branch that has the pocillopora growing in it. I think I'll save this one- it's interesting seeing the combo. Transferred the birdsnest over to the 50g- pics up tomorrow. A few pics from today Growing deep in the birdsnest The branch with some pocillopora left on the bottom. Could be cool to see how this grows- both are fast growers Snail baby's Pavona? Cap Big boy!

Sunstar Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 what I love about reef tanks. SO Much life Link to comment
vlangel Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 No chance the poci will totally overtake the birdsnest? Link to comment
kimberbee Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Cool pic of the hermit crab! Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 No chance the poci will totally overtake the birdsnest? We will see- they are both fast growers but the poci is a machine. I am hoping they grow in different directions and can co- exist. I spent hours under the microscope grafting them together to make a new coral..............not? Cool pic of the hermit crab! Ha! That's Big Boy- he's out grown all the other hermits..........maybe cause my wife likes to hand feed him ? Link to comment
gena Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Those baby snails are too cute! What kind of snail are they? Link to comment
RollaJase Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Those baby snails are too cute! What kind of snail are they? By the looks of their cute antenna and the shape I think they may be stomatella. I used to have a ton of those guys, were really good at getting in all the little nooks and crannies. Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Those baby snails are too cute! What kind of snail are they? Stomatella snails- they multiply pretty regularly ? Link to comment

gena Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I was thinking stomatella too. For some reason I can't get them to flourish in my tanks. I used to be able to. But not recently. I love those guys . Link to comment
