Nah brother they'll have to deal with YOU tomorrow; )

Lol, they dealt with me today already... :lol:

 

Damn Rainbow Torte tips are still browned out. Don't get it, everything but the tips looks great, other SPS look amazing, hmmmmm. Wish this thing would recover, the body and growth are beautiful whiteish blue with multi colored polyps!

The center and center left need some corals, suggestions?

 

 

 

Future Upgrades planned:

 

Looking for a decent camera, for both reefing and personal use. Tired of effing around with this stupid Iphone!

2 New T5 Bulbs, considering (1) Geisemann AquaBlue Coral and (1) Geisemann Super Actinic this time. Testing this week for Levels, setting up Doser this weekend for test run. Also, considering, strongly a switch to all T5...... Oh, and looking for some 2-3" Pinwheel plates to fill in plate garden!

Looks great! Everything looks very happy.

Thanks!

 

I have one Acro that isn't acting right. Great Polyp extension, but the tips browned out, and won't come back. All other SPS seems to be doing well, although patience and husbandry is the gameplan at this point. Hard part is waiting for things to grow out!

how many fish you got in there now? thinking about adding any more?

 

for the center, maybe red gonipora? that purple plate is awesome

Thanks, it isn't that badass long tentacle, but she is pretty, eats like a horse too! Oooo, goni would be nice!

 

Currently Have for fish:

-Yellow Tang

-Talbot's Damsel

-Starry Night Blenny

-M/F Pair of MisBar Clowns

-Yellow Watchman Goby

 

The Clowns are going to a new home as soon as I take the time to fish them out. Bastards only were bought to host the nem, and it choose a retarded place to anchor itself, weak. If I get rid of them, I am considering a few more fish. Thought about replaceing the two Chromis my wife slaughtered with tap water... :lol: suggestions?

Good suggestions on the Leopard and Corris, hmmmmm..... Have yellow in the tank, I like the idea of another wrasse. Also considered doing a screen top and putting another hawkfish( long nose) although my shrimp might disappear :o

I really dig the huge purple plate in the center! Man, that is COOL!!

Thanks!

I plan to locate 2-3 small 2-3" plates( like the orange and green ones, and do a plate garden of sorts. The last 2-3 need to be super awesome though. Looking at several pinwheel plates!

 

Two Hanna Checkers coming tomorrow(Alkalinity/ Calcium)!!! Yay! Thanks Kat and some guy I don't know! :lol:

Man that stinks... You've sent pictures to LawnMan for a possible diagnosis?

 

Reefing sucks like that. You can be doing everything right and still have critters doing badly. Hope it recoveres :(

IT seems to be getting worse and worse. The LTP is the only thing I can think of, may not have stung it, but was so large the Nem couldn't expand. I dunno. Mouth totally gaping, tentacles smaller than tic-tacs, a LOT of white showing near mouth, it hasn't melted yet. But looks worse than ever. Weird thing is it will try and open up in evenings??!

Can't get a god pic, but the little ####er is still solid on the rock, foot is holding. Dunno, whole mouth is inside out it looks like?
