ninjamyst Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 I need to get them on pellets but copperband is still super finicky with eating out of water column. Fresh seafood from the market is expensive too! Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 I am an idiot. Was changing filter floss and cleaning out skimmer cup and somehow knocked a small thermometer loose from suction cup and the thing made it all the way to return chamber and got sucked into the return pump, shattered, and scattered plastic bits and metal balls all over the display tank. I am so mad. I also had to take apart the plumbing to inspect the return pump and now the union is leaking. But it's leaking back into the return chamber so I don't care. Enough for tonight ... Will clean up tomorrow. Blah. 1 6 4 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 One of my Talbot has been bullying other fish. I suspect he bullied my midas and red fire fish to death already. I haven't seen either one for days. I have lid so they didn't jump out. Soooo I went and got 4 azure damselfish. Spread the aggression right??? Talbot and azure supposed to be least aggressive.

Zuma Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Any update on this awesome, HUGE, tank? Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Took a couple of vacays and tank didn't do well. Lost a lot of SPS and a lot of fish. Auto feeder didn't turn on. Nutrients bottomed out. Fish starved. The ups and downs of reef keeping. Things are bouncing back though. A photo from a few weeks ago: 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Just now, mitten_reef said: Umm, this filled in nicely. did you move everything over from the Reefer? Yup. Gave the 350 away to a local reefer. Sold off a lot of the old corals too. And I got a Nuvo 20 over the weekend: https://www.nano-reef.com/forums/topic/425831-ninjas-nuvo-20/ . I am a diehard IM fan now. 1 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 8 months old. Been through some ups and downs but things been looking great the past month! Some of my fav corals are: - my 5 years old Walt Disney colony. Lost tons of acros during cross country move, vacations, parameter swings, etc but this colony is a survivor!! - old school ORA purple stylo. Classic underrated easy SPS. - 6 years old torch colony. Started with a single head and grew to 30+ heads. Now trimmed and broken into mini colonies because heads keep dying from all the shading - ricordea are one of my fav softies. 7 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Oh yeah,I forgot they just did a huge sale. That is awesome man. I keep forgetting you are local meow 😂. I will tell you 2gcoral.com has 70% off,pretty much all Tenuis but some are like $18 and ARC has a buuuunch acro's for super cheap atm. FHC just had a boat load like 20 pages of coral for $14-$30 that were CRAZY. Quote Link to comment

ARC shipping is expensive and their price similar to TCK. I have to check out 2gcoral but I think I will stick with TCK going forward. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Oh damn really ?! They do look like fresh cuts,I would just have them hold them for a extra week or 2. Well I think ARC & TCK are hand and hand. But 2Guys I would love to order from,I mean if they came out with Cherry Bomb they gotta be a good choice,no lol. Quote Link to comment

I bought a couple of acros from them during their last live sale and they sent me 17 extra nice pieces. I think the whole pack is valued at $3000 or so. They sent me a vivid insanity that goes for $500+. 1 hour ago, Reefkid88 said: Whew doggy,those are some killer looking frags. Did you ever test alk ? I don't....hahahah I am the worst with testing parameters. I only test when corals start looking bad... 2 3 Quote Link to comment
