Argent Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 hmmm $5 frag sale at one of the LFS stores *ponders* also picked up a mesh bag of purigen, but it's too big for my filter thingy -- so now I'm not sure if/how I can maybe cut it in half or something to make it work. Link to comment
KMitch Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I want a $5 frag sale!!! You can prolly cut the bag open on the top, pour some out, and resew it closed. That or find a new mesh baggy to transfer it into once you slim down the contents. Link to comment
Argent Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Woo Woo! See what $50 can get ya! Oh wait -- no you can't -- at least not yet! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA (and no I didn't go to the $5 frag sale) Link to comment
Argent Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 you'll have to wait till I get to work today and get them in the tank Link to comment
Argent Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 ok here are a couple teaser pics... and a new FTS (I had to reaquascape a bit -- not sure if I like it anymore) the best is still yet to come though (have to wait for the polyps to open before I can take a pic otherwise you'll never know) Link to comment
KMitch Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Candy cane and GSP--- yeah not sure about the new aquascape.... the pile of rubble on the inside isnt working for me. Next time you take a pic try taking it straight on or from another angle to eliminate the glare. I am on edge for the last thing! Link to comment
Argent Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 hehe the candycane is on a large branch (there are actually 9 mouths on it!) and I think I might frag it down to make it fit a bit better in the tank. And the GSP was free he had a big pile of it in one of his prop tanks and said - give it two weeks if it doen't pop back up I'll give you some more - hehe. And in my haste to get stuff in the tank this morning - I bumped and move some of the other rockscape - so I'll try to readjust stuff this afternoon. Link to comment
schaadrak Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Wicked slick candy cane, Argent. Link to comment
Argent Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 thanks! I think perhaps I need more actinic lighting though it's not glowing as much as I had hoped it would.... Here's a pic of one of my new zoas -- it's not the greatest shot. it's a purple zoa with a yellow skirt Link to comment
Argent Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 and for all you Crabman naysayers -- I give unto you THE CRABMAN COMETH! I also have video of him filter feeding away (and a slow pan across the rest of the tank) if it's not super huge I can upload it to my webserver later and post a link. Link to comment
anjay Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 is that another evil hermit i see attacking the gsp? Link to comment
Argent Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 nah probably just a friendly hermit checking out the newest additions to the tank -- hopefully in a couple weeks the GSP will start to open back up. I still have one last suprise I added to the tank on Friday -- and hopefully when I get to work on Monday it will have opened up! Link to comment
Argent Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 New pics! and last but not least (and I know it's a crappy pic -- but the crowning jewel of the tank now! (if I can get a better pic later today of this one I will) Link to comment
KMitch Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 NICE! Try glueing the GSP to a branch of rock so that it will grow over it. GSP grows moderately fast, and will cover the rock base quickly. I also used to have some GSP on the sand but I had hermits and snails always flip it accidentally. I found a super sweet Ric Mushroom for $4 this weekend that is neon orange-- a coloration I have never seen before. Crabman looks nice in that pic, but hes still a big bum. Link to comment
JF2381 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Nice! Keep the GSP in the sandbed so you can control the growth. Link to comment
Argent Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 yeah the GSP was a freebie and was going to be put in my quart pico as the only thing there (figured if it overgrew everything I didnt care much) but not sure if I'll keep that project going or not...the hermit in there doesn't seem happy.

Argent Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hmm cant get a good pic of my super secret special polyp it's a genuine young PPE! Link to comment
irishtexan Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Awesome! Im jealous. I think that you should put the GSP on one of the branches that doesn't have any zoo's on it and let it grow over the whole branch. I looks really neat IMO. texx Link to comment
Argent Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 FINALLY! my LFS guy has scored three sexy shrimp for me! With some luck I'll get them this week. Link to comment
