ReefGoat Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Time for my first crappy photo dump! The coral crumbs I got from a friend seem to be doing great. The Idaho grape and red monti cap have been there for a little while and are starting to encrust and spread a little. Those aren't new. Hollywood stunner Unknown green across that is surprisingly holding its color. 1 Quote Link to comment

ReefGoat Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Still trying to play with the lighting. I can't seem to replicate the lighting in my last FTS on page one. When I figure it out. I'll post a current FTS Quote Link to comment
ReefGoat Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Not reef related but figured it was finally time to trade in the 2dr old red for a more family ride. Sucks to be back to bone stock again. I'll try not to let it cut into the reefing budget too much. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefGoat Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Welp there must a freaking Wrasse shortage because another week goes by and they couldn't procure my fish that I ordered through them. What's up with fish stores carrying an abundance of the same old fish? Six Lines and Clowns............. I don't really want to order the little guys online. I'd rather pick them up from a LFS. I suppose I may have to just make a trip to Houston soon or just order them online. On the bright side.........I'm going to my friends house to pick up a good size frag pack of some more coral crumbs! This one should have a lot more frags because I'm bringing some good old American Dollars lol. Oh yeah the tank turns 5 months old on TUESDAY 1 Quote Link to comment

I mean I can get what I want on Live Aquaria. But I just don't want the lil guy to be DOA. But yeah the ban is probably affecting the hobby quite a bit. Quote Link to comment

Larger fish seem to handle shipping better than the little guys. 1 Quote Link to comment

But yeah the ban is probably affecting the hobby quite a bit. I ordered my first fish from divers den. He actually came in really well packed. I had never ordered online before, but it was really painless. I had the problem with cichlids, I always tried to give local fish stores the business, but they never had what I was looking for and never tried to get me the ones that I wanted. That was the last time I had bought fish until I set up the saltwater tank. I wanted the blenny I have now, but nobody had them so I ordered from divers den instead. Good luck with the fish hunt 🙂 I can't believe mines going to be 1, time went buy kinda quick. Now I just have to get the 75 up and running. 1 Quote Link to comment
blizzardscout2 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Nice Jeep! I’m jealous as I got a truck instead, but it suits my family needs right now. As for the Wrasse I would check in with them again. LFS tend to put together lists for orders and place when they have a big enough order. I sometimes have to wait months for a specific fish. 😏 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm waiting for the corals to open up fully. I think I may mess with some time lapse video so I can watch the algae die lol. Thanks for checking it out. 1 Quote Link to comment
