jstuver Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Yay I received my macros from Rachel(stellablue) today. They were packaged excellent! Took a couple quick pics before they went in the sump, they are making me want to start a macro tank:) I will probably move them to my display at some point. 5 Quote Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yay I received my macros from Rachel(stellablue) today. They were packaged excellent! Took a couple quick pics before they went in the sump, they are making me want to start a macro tank:) I will probably move them to my display at some point. I missed this post! I'm glad everything made it in good shape and that you're happy! I'm sorry about the bryo and the bubbles. Bubble algae is/was plaguing my big tank. I put a pencil urchin in there and he's mowing through it. However, I did notice he sampled a few of the softies. And he knocks things over. But I'll take that if he continues to clean off the bubble algae. I had bryopsis on a blasto merletti frag and took it out, plucked it, put it in hydrogen peroxide dip, used a toothbrush on the areas to get it off and then superglued all the areas where I had seen it. It hasn't come back yet The coral was not happy for a good four days, but it's all puffy and happy now so far. Cropped this pic pretty tight to get rid of the glare from the light fixture but I just love the colors on the mind blowing paly That's a beautiful shot, Jackie! I'm with Teeny - I love how they match. Each compliments the other well. Quote Link to comment

Yes, I meant to type in all caps. HOLY COW! It's beautiful right? I got it from a local guy, same guy I got my plate from.

gena Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Lovely new leather!!!! I agree about it looking like an sps coral. Sometimes I have a hard time distinguishing between a leather and an acro in tanks I'm not familiar with. That is a gorgeous addition to your tank . Quote Link to comment

This size has been great for me! I will say I did like the footprint. But have way to much stuff to fit in there......had to go bigger. I have been watching your tank as there are not many Versa around and well it is the best one I have seen out here. Keep the pics coming! 1 Quote Link to comment
