gena Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Just got back from the post office with a sweet package of turquoise trumpets for Lizz . I haven't shipped coral in quite a few months. Brought back some memories . I think I know the secret to a happy fox coral. I fed it this morning and it's open so full now . It's a slow eater and I have to turn the flow off to feed it. It will slurp down pellets though. That's the only thing I've tried so far. I think I need to start feeding it a couple of times a week. I certainly like it when it's full and content . 12 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Beautiful! Glad to see your fox coral is doing so well. I've been trying to feed mine because mine hasn't been doing good lately. It got some of the hair algae growing on its base, which really irritated it and part of it wouldn't open and then melted away. Part of it is still alive, so I'm trying to nurse that part back to health. 1 Quote Link to comment

It has multiple mouths and they've been protruding lately. Like sticking it's lips out. I don't know how to best describe it LOL. But I fed multiple mouths and it looks so much happier. I think it definitely needs to eat a couple of times a week to stay happy . 1 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Anthropologie...My girlfriend goes crazy for that store! I've spent way too much time in there because of it. I can't complain too much, I did end up finding a cool octopus cabinet knob for my tank stand. Your Fox coral is looking great! Seems like you have it in a good amount of flow huh? Mine seems to be on the decline and I can't figure out why. Hey...wanted to quote your post again because of my newest thought (above) on the Fox Coral and maybe why yours isn't doing well. Are you feeding it? Also.....need a rack/holder for inside your tank stand? LOL http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anthropologie-White-Coral-Shaped-Triple-Wall-Door-Hooks-Hangers-/371388375165?hash=item567878e07d:g:3aMAAOSwDNdVqxoG Quote Link to comment

gena Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Another successful Thanksgiving . Although my turkey didn't turn out as good as last years. Last years was the bomb LOL. I used the same recipe. I think it was the actual turkey itself that made the difference. And I can't for the life of me remember where I got it last year. This year I got it at Trader Joe's. I'm not getting it there anymore. It's hit or miss with them. So Thanksgiving is done.........Bring on Christmas!!!!!!! A little more trimming to do but it's getting there . Now to decide if I want to brave the crowds tomorrow and do some in-store shopping Hope you all had a lovely day today! 10 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Pretty tree Gena. The kittens haven't found the dangly ornaments yet have they??? Maybe discovered is the better word. 1 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Pretty tree Gena. The kittens haven't found the dangly ornaments yet have they??? Maybe discovered is the better word.Thank you! I'm so glad I have my tree up already!!!! Oh yes...they have LOL. They have broken one already. One of my really old vintage ones. Somehow their cat scratching post got pushed up to the tree and they were able to reach it. I put all the more valuable ornaments up high so they couldn't get to them too. Not sure if they scooted it or my husband or son moved it over. Everyone is aware now to make sure the scratching post is not near the tree . 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I have one of those Charlie Brown trees, which I love. I have 6 ornaments I saved that Don & I bought together, each of us picked an ornament in a certain style. I sold or gave most ornaments to the Salvation Army. With the move I just have boxes everywhere. Randi is buying my Christmas tree that Don and I had, a pretty pre-lit, multi- fir w/ pine cones tree, and wreathe that lights up. 1 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Have they tried to climb the tree yet? 2 Quote Link to comment

I am going through my ornaments this year. I have way too many and some that have absolutely no meaning for any of us, so I'll be donating those. I'll probably go through them this weekend. One day I hope to have room for two trees. One that is a theme tree, kinda like what I have this year, and one that has childhood ornaments and handmade ornaments, etc. on it. I'm going to need a much bigger house . Have they tried to climb the tree yet? Nope..not yet. I really really really hope they don't . I'll let you know if they do though LOL. Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Tank looks stunning! I'm down to the last 2 heads on my blue trumpets ... almost killed them but hopefully they are coming back now. The Fox coral is simply stunning, I'm so glad you could get one and then show us. We'll let you do the elbow work and enjoy the pics. 2 Quote Link to comment

I've turned the flow down even more on my mp10 and the fox coral is appreciating it! I haven't bought anything new for this tank for quite a while! Like months . I may be placing an order with KPA soon for an urchin and maybe a new gorgonian. 5 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 it's hard to go without buying for a while. Knowing I'm moving next month I haven't bought anything since June when I went to VIP Reef. KPA has so many pretty things, I'm sure you'll find something you'll like. I got a nano urchin and was surprised how big it was so you may want to specify if you don't want it larger than a golfball. My sea egg and urchin were both like the size of a hacky sack ball. 1 Quote Link to comment

Both of our cats LOVE to sit under the tree. I used to freak thinking they'd climb it, but neither has thank god. Although Mac will bat the bottom ornaments so all the non-breakable ones go down there. Last year was the first year we opted for a fake tree. It sure was much easier not to have to worry about watering it! 1 Quote Link to comment

Slowtwitch Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thank you! Just send me a pm when you are ready. I have shipping materials in hand .Save me a piece? Any any other color you happen to frag please. I don't have any room for them at the moment, but my big tank is being installed the first week of January and I'm going to need a ton of new stuff. The Montis you sent me are so nice. The season's greetings is plating in three places but the Idaho grape continues to just encrusting and thicken. It's about the size of a lemon now. 2 Quote Link to comment

I've got plenty and they just keep growing and growing . That's great news about the montis. Both can get VERY thick. Ca/alk suckers is what they are . 2 Quote Link to comment

gena Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 OK, I know you had cresties not leopard geckos, but this shirt made me think of you!Cute . How long does it take for them to hatch?60-70 days in warmer months and up to 120 days in colder months. I'm guessing somewhere between 70-120 days . The eggs are doing GREAT! I can tell they are a little bigger already. And they for sure must be fertile because it's been almost a month and they haven't molded . So exciting!!!!! I know I shared these two pics on Facebook and Instagram but wanted to post them here too.... Those two just love it under the tree Finally did some gift shopping today. Glad I looked since Marine Depot has free ground shipping right now plus their 15% off deal. Got a bucket of RSCP for me..can't beat that price! 8 Quote Link to comment
