Christopher Marks Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Your nano reef is coming along well! What do your have in your refugium? And what kind of dog is Zoe? Very cute pooch! Link to comment
Jay Fortay Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 Thank you chris for the help and the compliments!! I have about 8 pounds of live sand, some baserock, and about 2 lbs of live rock. the puppy is a mini long-haired dachschund. She is so good. My girlfriend just got her, less than a week ago, she is 9 weeks old. Link to comment
Korbin Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Tell me more about which rocks were base rock and which were live rock in your tank. I added a couple of pounds of LR and the rest is base rock in my tank too. I'm wondering if the base rock turned out OK, and how long it took, etc... which ones in the pic were base rock? Link to comment
Jay Fortay Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 from what I am told the base takes about 6 weeks to become "colonized" the rock started showing coralline after about 3 weeks. since coraline reproduces by spores, you are pretty much guaranteed coralline on the base eventually. The only piece that is base in the tank is on the right side. it turned green first and is now becoming covered in purple spots. its pretty exciting to watch Link to comment
Metznreef Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 well, if were gonna start showing puppy pics, here is my golden retriever, Shea (pronounced Shay). this is when she was just a puppy, she is now almost about 1 1/2. Link to comment

Sahin Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Nice tank. Whats the name of the tree like pink coral on the right had side? Is it a colt coral? Can you give me a few observations about this coral please--like does it shrink at night? Does it fully open every day? What are the good health signs? Thanks. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Nice looking tank Jay! Everyones posting doggy pics so here's a picture of Kobe... Link to comment
Metznreef Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 leave it to Alife to name his dog after a basketball player, sheesh lol (well, i named mine after Shea stadium, the stadium the NY Mets play in.) Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Well then sheesh yourself! LOL! There would've been a problem if I had named my dog "Staples Center"... (Edited by NaNO ReeFiN at 3:17 pm on July 5, 2002) Link to comment
Jay Fortay Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 The coral in question is a tonga tree leather, or lepanailia (extremely phonetic spelling). It has opened like that everyday since I've had it. It actively opens and closes its polyps all day long when disturbed. it shrinks to be about 1/3 of the size at night. I hope that answers all of your questions Link to comment
Chromis Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Here is my 130 lb. man eating dog, Hunter... Link to comment
Gilman Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Happy Sunday! Hey those dog pictures are great! I have been considering keeping a dog too. What type of tanks are you people using, lighting, filtration, etc..? I imagine those small dogs do well in a Nano type environment but that 130lb maneater would need at least a 55gal eh? Gil (seriously? nah.) Link to comment
