HarryPotter Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Best I can do with an iPhone Everything looks great! I had trouble keeping rainbow montipora, well, rainbow, but yours looks sweet. Think you'll have to dose later on? Link to comment
Travis Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Everything looks great! I had trouble keeping rainbow montipora, well, rainbow, but yours looks sweet. Think you'll have to dose later on? Haha most def. I have a Hanna ca checker but it's way inconsistent. I can run the test 3 times and get 3 way different results. I ordered Red Sea pro ca and alk kits. They'll be in tomorrow. Link to comment
metrokat Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Nice pictures. Better than most iPhone pics I've seen too. Setosa is looking a little rough but it should cover up the sports fairly quickly. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 For phone pics, those actually turned out pretty fantastic! Link to comment
Travis Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Well the green cyphastrea I bought as my first piece has really taken on some cool colors. The polyps are deeper yellow in person. Link to comment
Travis Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 The Grizzly Adams Acro I got from the WWC live sale had browned out during shipping but is now starting to regain its color! The base is taking on a neon green hue. Hard to see in the cell phone pic but here it is none the less. I'm attributing this to only about two weeks of keeping my no3 at 2ppm. I've been monitoring my po4 with a Hanna checker and always getting 0. I picked up a Red Sea pro po4 test kit and its reading 0.02ppm. Can't be unhappy with either result. On the fish side of things I'm waiting on yet another tuxedo damsel to arrive from live aquaria. This is a beautiful fish that I just can't seem to keep alive for some reason. I've come up with a plan so I might be more successful. I purchased a fish breeder box to float in the tank. I'm going to isolate him in there so I can feed him food that will be soaked in prazi pro to fight internal parasites (this is what I suspect killed my first tuxedo). The breeder being clear will give him and my other two damsels an opportunity to meet without ww3 breaking out during the tuxedo's acclimation time. Once he seems adjusted to being in the tank, eaten food soaked in the prazi pro for about 5 days and the others ignore him I'll release him into the tank. Hope it works out this time. I know a full quarantine setup would be more ideal, but I don't really have a place to set one up and imo an unestablished, temporary qt would be far too stressful for any fish. Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Cool! Love the stand. Nice clean build. The all damsel fish selection is a wicked idea. Following along! Link to comment

I know damsels get a bad wrap for being bullies, but that's not their fault, they can't choose their tank mates. these fish have loads of spunk and personality. Makes for a very lively tank for sure.

I don't think it is their fault for not choosing their tank mates, it is the aquarists' fault for picking fish that are more aggressive than they would like and then expect them be passive little angels Link to comment

Now you are making me second guess… Link to comment
