Fishstiks Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Finally tried some aptasia x- I have lazy peppermint shrimp. I tried it on my tinker bell palys, too. And kept the carbon in there for good measure- unsure whether it actually killed them or not yet. Also got a starburst Monticap frag. It's so beautiful next to the Idaho grape I have from gena Not sure if this was to me or Stella- but in a few months I would definitely be interested! You, Stella, anyone who needs any. I have red dragons breath and red gracilaria. Both grow quite well for me and I definitely have an abundance. Hit me up if your ever in need ? 2 Quote Link to comment

Got it from Chris I had my eye on it forever and he was growing it out- finally fragged it a few months ago. Not sure if I've seen more there. Thanks!! How's yours coming along??

I love your zoas, they are so pretty. they're really taken off, thank you!! Can someone tell me what the names are of what i have?? I'm not certain, but some look like fruit loops or rastas to me? and i was told i have fire and ice, and that the green ones are radioactive dragon eyes?? I have no idea with zoas, i can't keep all the morphs straight in the first place, let alone the names haha. 2 Quote Link to comment

thecoralbeauty Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Wow, what a gorgeous looking tank! Think i am going to read the whole thread because i'm intrigued! gee thanks! So, i have stringy reddish brown looking things that I am highly suspicious of, mostly around my tube nem. going to switch things up a bit to reef crest on the MP40 and see if the additional flow seems to help any. not running carbon or anything currently. antsy pants just shipped me a small package of assorted macros (yay! thank you!) and the remaining strings of chaeto left in my fuge have been growing steadily... along with a bunch of hair algae that I cleaned out yesterday morning with my water change. i think i may have officially gotten the tank dirty! before my water change my nitrates were somewhere between 0 and 5ppm, and it has been that way for about a week. makes sense, the SPS has colored up considerably.

1.0reef Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Nice Atlantic Blue tang, underrated fish compared to similarly sized tangs and angelfish IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Nice Atlantic Blue tang, underrated fish compared to similarly sized tangs and angelfish IMO. thank you- he's got a fantastic personality so far as well and hangs out with the yellow tang peacefully. its also interesting to see him flash his blue sometimes and then go back to the dusty yellow he currently is. i'm excited to see how he's maturing. at first i was concerned- as I'm sure the heated debate on earlier pages didn't go unnoticed, but i haven't had any continuing issues keeping him. whatever the temporary spots were are gone now. he's happy, healthy, so at this point i'm just enjoying him as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
