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 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Ebn Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 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. The bandit was planted into my PC rainbow. 4 2 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 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.

metrokat Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 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. Here's a video of Calleigh and whipped cream. 8 1 Quote Link to comment

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

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. 3 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 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. I should scrape the lower middle back wall better . So, I've got the 2 full sides, sticking to the wreath theme. #myreefismysugar 16 3 Quote Link to comment

She eats fish eggs too. 8 2 Quote Link to comment
