I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out. This Friday I will be adding a huge zoa colony of rastas and possibly a rainbow Branching Hammer to replace my Orange one that I lost. Come late February there will be a Holy Grail Torch added 😎 just waiting for it to be fragged and healed basically. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Matteo Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Pic of the mushroom colony they had at Cuttlefish fish. Some sort of Indo Ric. They fragged it into three so I snagged one 🙂 3 4 Quote Link to comment

She's coming back from Germany in a weekish and I have a very expensive green card fee to pay. Gotta cool it on coral too because she won't be able to get a job until the work visa comes in. Sugar daddy = no more coral for awhile 😭 Oh well. She's worth it. I'll sneak a coral piece here and there of course 🤫 Her: is that new? Me: .... Her: how much was it? Me: ... Her: ...

second_decimal Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Nice. Are you both from Germany or just her? wondering if the nem is cool with all the corals. They do wander sometimes and in such a small space (i.e. not 300 gallons) don’t they sting the corals around them? 1 Quote Link to comment

Mother was born in Ohio but whole family lineage is German. Like off the boat Ellis island German. The nem split but it has stayed in its spot for 6ish months. Some corals around it were showing signs of being stung so I moved them and let the nem(s) have its space. I feed regularly and the flow is perfect for them. Their feet are stuck deep within the rock work too 2 Quote Link to comment
second_decimal Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 cool. I came a long time ago but still speak German and still have family there. I used to go back and forth for work quite a bit but now it’s been a while again. what area is she from? 1 Quote Link to comment
second_decimal Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I like the BT nems but concerned about wandering and stinging everything. Now that I am moving to a 20g I will have a little more room and am considering one maybe with a set of clowns. But the whole “Nemo” thing is so commonplace so I haven’t made up my mind yet. 1 Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Well a little update. Been busy with work and the Lounge can be distracting.... ANYWAY Had to do a bit of a res-cape on my left rock work. It wasn't very stable and toppled over a bit. After a lot of super glue and frustration all corals are now mounted and happy. I moved my torches around and I also put some of my newer mushrooms (8 different types total) in the front and elevated for a little more emphasis since they are all higher quality shrooms. Speaking of mushrooms WTF is this one? Store ordered it as an indo rhodactis but I think this thing has a MAJOR bounce it. It is practically like half its mass. Take a look and let me know what ya think....it was only $30 and they have two more so I may go back and grab as an investment coral... First pic for true size Zoomed up and color brought out a bit... I promise to get some FTS and coral shots for you soon. The new scape is pretty sweet and the coral placement looks more even. 2 2 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Maybe it's just on a piece of rubble glued to the plug? Quote Link to comment

Kinda with you on this one. Looks like the main mushroom body just stretches and drapes over something. 1 Quote Link to comment

Looks like the main mushroom body just stretches and drapes over something. I thought so too but the bounce is transparent and there's nothing there. When I moved the frag and pissed it off a bit I couldnt really see rubble and the bounce retained shape. I guess we'll see when it grows more. I'll try and get some better shots later.

Matteo Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have like 3-4 mushrooms bouncing and this deformity is really looking like one. I mean considering almost all the bounces come from indo and as rhodactis it's a good chance. 1 Quote Link to comment
Matteo Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Quick update. Fiancé is back in town and we'll she won't be a fiancé come Friday 😉 Anywhoooo she's busy with the in laws right now so I have time to post! Gonna grab some nice pictures for you all and will get them up today. Nem split so I traded one for some Butt Muncher zoas. Great name BTW but let's be real these zoas are called "Eating Ass Zoas" <- much better name. There's some new mushrooms too like a jawbreaker and euch that I traded my OG bounce for. Fresh water change done, I upped my whites a bit on the Nanobox and at the moment having very little to no algae build up on glass so I think everything is in fine order! 7 Quote Link to comment
