Sunar357 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Thanks, everything is growing great! Unfortunately that's also the algae. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 FTS 2/19/2016 - Note to self: Clean the dang glass before doing these. Can see tank is still in the ugly stage and hopefully get some of these frags mounted to rock this weekend. Link to comment

Sunar357 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Got a hole drilled in my fixture and added a 445 nm blue LED strip over my moonlights. I have a dimmer as well so I may control them. This is manual currently and either going to throw on a timer or possibly upgrade the Apex to control. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Picked up a Yellow Watchman and a conch on Friday. Conch is slowly helping out. The tailspot keeps picking on the watchman. I ordered a pistol shrimp, nano star and zoa from KP Aquatics so hopefully the shrimp pairing with the watchman will get the tailspot off his back. Link to comment

It seems the blenny is being territorial and should stop eventually ad the YWG finds a home. It's always like that when you add a new fish. My dotty back did that to my blenny when I first got him.

Sunar357 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yep, and i've wanted a pistol for him to pair with anyhow just the LFS was out. The tailspot is sure a character! Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Watchman has been MIA since Sunday...i'm hoping he's just hiding in the back in the rockwork. My KP order shipped today. Hooray! I also got all my zoas glued down onto their rock now. I leaned my green palys up against the back wall to see if they'll start moving onto it. Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 My tailspot is one of my favorites and has alot of character but I do notice he is not afraid of anything, especially if food is involved. He will go after my clowns and they will go back at him. As for the six line, it seems they are best buds and I often see the tailspot following him around the tank. Hope your watchman comes out of hiding soon. Tank looks to be coming along nicely. Can't wait to see as things start to grow in! Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks, Shawn! Those feisty blennies! A sixline is what i'm planning for my last fish. I loved the one I had in my first tank! I can't wait either! I really need to tone down on my SPS as I dunno currently even where i'm going to put it all. lol Some may sit sandbed and get sold. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Still no watchman. Pistol shrimp is settling in and has already excavated a cave...of course in the back corner so not easy to see. Doh! Traded hammers from my old tank for some bambam zoas and some kind of red SPS stick. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Trading a birdsnest frag and acro I have for some torches tomorrow, I hope! Need the euphyllia! Link to comment
pgrVII Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Did the watchman go into your filter section? Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Not sure how I missed your post, bro. lol Shouldn't be able to as I bought the covers. I guess i'd better bust out the flashlight just in case! So traded and sold some birdsnest frags for a nice green torch. Got the torch glued down just need to get my hammerfrog glued down. Everything except the one birdsnest seems to be doing great. It's actually the birdsnest I got dirt cheap too so not a big deal. Trying to decide what to put on the island with my Euphyllia. The plan is Torch / Octo? / Hammerfrog on the top in the back and under them i'm undecided. Acans? Blastos? Mushrooms? GSP? Link to comment

Sunar357 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yep, the back right island..at top is the euphyllia. Already a torch rockin there. Looking at what to put on the lower parts of the rock. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Finally an updated pic added to first post. Traded away some corals, picked a few up and got rid of the GHA finally. Huzzah! Link to comment
joines77 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Are you still running t5's? If so what bulb combo? Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Are you still running t5's? If so what bulb combo? Yep! I love the T5 look. Still running ATI Actinic, Coral+, 2 Blue+. My pics I use a gel filter though that gets rid of most of the blue you see in person. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Thank you, bud! Now it's mostly getting things glued in places and letting it grow out. Anybody have an idea of if I put the Stunner chalice up by the Spongodes if they will 'fight'? Link to comment
neowind712 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Tank is looking great. Looks like you are coming out of the diatom algae phase. Following along. Link to comment
