Sharbuckle Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Strong light is no bobles cus it only blows up the bobbles to get more light to hit it so low light big bobbles, but flow has something to say too. Thanks for the advice. Well i think my aquascape i getting a little stale. Im going to remove the rock with the xenia on it as its starting to spread like crazy. Once its gone im going to mess around with some more rock and fill in the middle a bit more. Looking forward to something new. Quote Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 First of all Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian homies! I got free coral! Woooo, I wanted to get some more rock to fill in the middle and on this day an angel appeared. Saw on my local salty group that somebody was getting rid of a monti rock with a riccordea on it. Well I went and picked it up for FREE! Unfortunately the big beautiful monti broke apart in transit but its still quite large, the ric is huge and beautiful. I even got a free hermit crab, two green palys and some brittle stars! woop woop. Oh the Montipora is my first SPS. Pretty pumped. Okay all thanks for looking. Heres an FTS. I think it really fills out the tank nicely. Mushroom Red Monti 4 Quote Link to comment

Sharbuckle Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Did a quick count on trochus snails today. Started with 3, at 9 now! They are breeding quite fast. Quote Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Make that 10 trochus. On another note, picked up some Seachem Reef Glue. This stuff works pretty well so far. Mounted some of my zoas up front and my rics on a rock. Trying to keep the sandbed empty. Ive got a few big accidentall frags of red monti from when i brought it home. Gonna glue them up high somewhere. Have a $0 coral budget for the next little while. Adopted a puppy! So gonna let this tank grow in. Excited to see it move forward. Very happy about the new rock in the middle, dont have to mess with scape anymore. Will post pics tomorrow. Pics of the puppy too! 2 Quote Link to comment

I do 20% WC a week, makes me hopeful haha Quote Link to comment
