Tigahboy Posted November 11, 2020 Just a random macro shot I took last night. OK, see you in December for reals this time. 3 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Tigahboy Posted November 15, 2020 Happy to report the sexies are out and about most of the time. I think it helps that I don't have any real fish in here (masked gobies barely count as fish). 6 Quote Share this post Link to post

Tigahboy Posted November 23, 2020 Latest FTS. Sexies still out and about. Snuck in some Dragon's Breath. My centerpiece bubble algae. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
mipster Posted November 23, 2020 Is there coraline algae growing... on the bubble algae? Is that even possible? But I swear that's what it looks like. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Tigahboy Posted November 30, 2020 Just realized we only have a couple months left in this contest. Homestretch, y'all! Also, probably my best macro shot of my gobies. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post
Tigahboy Posted December 27, 2020 Not going to lie, this tank has been a little neglected due to holidays, setting up a new tank (took down the little 1g cube next to this tank), work, and just life. I've also been using this tank as a holding tank of sorts for a few pieces of macroalgae that will ultimately end up in my new tank. Anyway, I call this month's FTS the Hot Mess: Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! 5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Tigahboy Posted January 5 In case you like Gracilaria hayi, I got oodles up in here. Let’s get a little closer. Oooh. Ahhh. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
A.m.P Posted January 5 Hayi seems so much more manageable than the impossible tumbleweed that is dragon's breath... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Hayi is as easy as it gets (while dragon's breath can be pretty tricky to keep happy in the long run). I stuck a small clump in my kid's sea monkey tank with no flow and no light and somehow it is still alive after 7 months. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
A.m.P Posted January 5 Sounds like a dream lol, I might have to track some down, dragons breath has had its' ups and downs in my system, but even after selling off half of it the stuff's still pretty much wall-to-wall. But man, the fact that it never really attaches to anything drives you insane, I'm constantly pulling it out from under rocks, out of powerheads, the weir... Coupled with the tendency to constantly threaten to pale out and just rot away... It's redundant to mention again at this point, but that hayi just has such an appealing shape to it and looks absolutely spotless in your system. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Tigahboy Posted January 5 Important update, y'all! I've added a THIRD air plant (yes, 3 in total now) to the top! What a dramatic change! This will also be my official January FTS. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Tigahboy Posted January 7 A couple macro macro shots. Hypnea pannosa. Coloring up nicely in here. Laurencia iridescens. The blue tint on this red macro is pretty crazy. 5 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

He is like a wizard with backlighting and full tank shots. I wish I could get even one FTS like those he gets. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
