jinx Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 New addition, early xmas gift from my wife Thinking about splitting them up, but they are nearly encrusted together.. Not to mention they each have a acro crab on em. Thinking the one on the right is a Blue Ice Tenuis, the one in the back Neon Green Tenuis?, and the one one left Purple Tri color? 1 Quote Link to comment
PieMan2k Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I honestly didn't see the crabs until this morning when the lights came on. Not bad for $45 imo. They seem fairly happy growing so close together. If you ever see another frag like that for 40 bucks LET ME KNOW!!!!! i need corals for my new tank Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 I have like 10+ reef shops just around my immediate area with similar prices on stuff just like this and better sometimes. Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Finally noticing a dip in my cal/alk/mg. Time to fire up the reactor! I've had it off to keep it from shocking the system before it leveled out, so now it's time to start running it again. Yay for a week solid of testing 1 Quote Link to comment

jinx Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Idk why I said return section in my last post. I meant in the drain section of your sump. Does your return section of the sump see the most fluctuation when water evaporates? I want to have a super sensitive top off so that it refills less volume more frequently and I think the way to do that is by using the return section to house the floats. The way the Trigger sump is done, it all drops to the same level for me. That would change some what depending on your plumbing and pump size. Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 WOW!!!!!!! I'm not an sps person, honestly, but this is seriously NICE!!! Merry Christmas to you!! I need to quit uploading pics from my laptop.. They look even worse and incorrect on my gaming/graphics rig. Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 The crabs are definitely tetralia nigrolineata Now hopefully my sixline leaves them the hell alone.. Nice, Acro crabs are awesome. Mine seemed to always survive around my wrasse, so here's hoping. Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Speaking of the crabs, two have gone missing, but could be hidden like before. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Solid find on that acro rock! 1 Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 This is under heavier white just for normal looks, some of the greens are off in intensity. If you look closely, you can see the one acro crab peeking out lol Snuck in and turned on some low level blues to see how they are adapting and I'm finally seeing a lot more PE. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Nice vids and pics.....what are you feeding your acros? Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 A mix of zoo/phyto/sps max/reef roids. Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm actually at the end of my container of reef roids and will probably be looking at another replacement. I get green slime blooms whenever I feed just the roids. They like the roids, but I'm not too happy trying to kill off green slime... Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Very happy manicina It's a pig and shows it. I have 8 of these hitchhikers all in different colors. Love em.. 1 Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 I'll be adding a ATO to this soon. Just need to figure out where I'm going to keep a reservoir for it. Half tempted to make a custom 10 gallon triangular one that fits behind the stand. Dunno yet. Quote Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 That stand came out looking really nice! Definitely top notch carpentry skills! What sump were you using again? Everything looks like it settled in nicely too btw! I'm loving it! 1 Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Thanks! I'm running the trigger systems 20g 18" crystal cube. Everything is going well so far... The only issues I currently have is, I'm losing one of my original tenuis frags for no reason other than the stress of the move. I also have a small outbreak of green slime which is most likely from the reef roids. Kind of wish my rock boring urchin could go in the display as part of the cleanup crew, but it'll eat my SPS. IT EATS EVERYTHING!!! Keeps the sump very clean though My pod and mysid population is just now starting to recover from the move. Quote Link to comment
jinx Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Decided that I'd give the autoaqua smart ato a shot. Should be here midweek. Time to come up with a reservoir solution!! Quote Link to comment
