I hear ya!  I'd love to buy a colony or two from someone.  No clue where to even look. 

You need someone to ship to you right? Try ASD. They are now sponsors on this site. They put up a live sale every Saturday - don't worry it isn't really live. And they have colonies for $75-$250

Get to know your LFS. I picked up both of these colonies recently for $65 ($30, $35 respectively). They're both pretty close to the size of a close fist.

Didn't want the colony and only picked them up for these guys.

Tank is progressing well. Colors are on point, polyp extension all around. I have high phosphates of course, I didn't measure Nitrates recently but this week I glued down some corals, changed some rock work, gyre positions, and more.

In other news, the 2 boy kittens that I had fostered along with Calleigh came for a sleepover last weekend. Now these 3 kittens grew up together, in my apartment. So it was really crazy that they were hissing at each other. My sweet Calleigh was extremely territorial! I had to separate them and keep them separated for the duration - 2 whole days. I slept on the couch because Calleigh was restricted to the living room. The boys were in my bedroom with toys, food, water, beds, and a web cam. Whenever I spent time in the room with them, Calleigh would howl and throw things. :blink:

Here's a video of Calleigh and whipped cream.

Gosh, how long had they been apart?

Since October so not that long. She used to clean them and be like a little mama to them. How things change.

You never take me to see the cool corals. :(:D

Aww, Darren lives in southern Jersey and it took me about 1.5 to drive over to his house. He is a hobbyist. Great guy.

oh, hey, there are some corals pics over here? 

 

The tank is looking good with those new STAX rocks.

 

The cats are as cute as ever, especially Calleigh, nice choice. 

:slap:

:D

Thank you - Calleigh is amazing. :wub:

 

I've been slowly replacing my old rocks. I found aiptasia here and there and I was just done. I think I might need another box of the STAX, I like how I can create a layered look especially for the top shelf of the drop off.

Damn it woman, S Joisey is closer to me, we could meet there. When I get back home I'll let you know what made it.  When I got home a customer called me to fix a machine in Norfolk.:rant:Calling me out on Christmas weekend is like me hitting the lottery. :D

I haven't posted a FTS for a long time. The tank is healthy again, makes me happy. Re-scaping a little bit every week. I gave up on the rock wall look very early on, it didn't feel right. :blush:

I should scrape the lower middle back wall better :blush: . So, I've got the 2 full sides, sticking to the wreath theme.

Are those paly’s (back upper left) really the size of your yellow tang? :o

 

cute leopard wrasse. Keep feeding her! I failed twice, don’t have the heart to try again. 

:D

The Leopard is always pecking at the sand and rocks so I am assuming copepods are her main diet. She eats fish eggs too.
