I stuck the leptastrea in one of the barnacle holes, and am waiting on some individual frag holders from OceanBox Designs to get here to hang the others up. I am truly, sadly, out of room! But that does mean there should be little to no more expenses on this tank anymore. Just let it grow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
ECLS Reefer Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 WHHHYYYY won’t this blue ricordea stay where I want it to???? 😠😠😠😠😠 Thing looks like a big blue booger. Caught some good pictures of He Who Has Not Been Named out and about. He’s about as happy with photos as Altuve his starry blenny cousin. Cruiser the mandarin isn’t super jazzed with pictures either— seems the clowns and PeakaBoo and the two wrasses are determined to photobomb and be center of attention while all the blennies want to know why I’m bothering them?? Oh and the leptastrea already looks AMAZING!! I can’t wait to see it start to spread! 5 Quote Link to comment

Yes but I’ve never liked trying to glue the actual coral to stuff- I end up wearing most of the damn glue!! Like I said I ordered some neat single frag holders and I hope they don’t take forever to arrive. Got them for both this tank and the Evo for those SPS frags. Want to make sure I give those every chance to look good. I hope someday these zoas and those SPS frags can be split and moved to the SCA. I’m bummed my expensive and pretty trachyphyllia died while I was in NYC and my bubble coral, and right now I can’t find nice elegance corals to get. So hopefully this bunch of pretty stuff does well and I can move them over. 2 Quote Link to comment

I ordered them from OceanBox Designs and they said they were back ordered but for this week. I am also deeply in need of a good teeny weeny glass cleaner/scraper for this little tank and it’s curved edges. I’m already starting to see some tough coralline trying to grow around the bottoms and those corners and I can’t fit the little Innovative Marine nano cleaner in that curve. Any ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s the propellant. The heavy metal paints had the most propellant to huff. The lengths people go to, to escape reality. Quote Link to comment
ECLS Reefer Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Okay need a name vote. My ruby scooter is doing well and he needs a good name. As he’s a dragonet I want a dragon name for him so my candidates are: Glaurung the father of dragons Ancalagon the greatest of dragons Smaug II the golden (he does have yellow, though it’s a stretch). 1 Quote Link to comment
ECLS Reefer Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'll also consider Balerion or Drogon..... he needs a dragon name though. Quote Link to comment
