My fish seemed to be scared....I wonder why.

mean, that is just mean

Matt you are a d!ck to those poor fish. Gotta come down and see the tank soon I think me and Des are gonna be down at vcu soon. May or may not murder you and take your mandarin, I'm debating on it. Finished my blowgun so it'll be relatively painless.

Probably going to have to frag this torch soon. It's getting massive. Hopefully there are other reefers in the Richmond area interested. It's a real beauty!

Here's some new pics. Switched up the scape and coral placement a bit. Stuff is starting to sting one another lol.

Your tank looks great man! I am sure those corals look so much better then in the iphone pics lol

[matt frizz]

Yes they really do. I'm about to try and make a photographer friend here in Richmond because the Iphone doesnt do it justice!

So, my other staghorn is getting devastated by RTN now. Started yesterday. Possibly too close to the monti caps? They tend to piss of my staghorns when they're too close. Also, it has never fully recovered from the move although, it was coloring up. Some parts just never healed. I need a new stag but have no money lol.\

 

 

Anybody in the Richmond area want to trade euphelia for colorful staghorn frags? i have some really nice Euphelia and Duncan that I can frag (talking nice frags here).

Are you able to give it a quick dip in lugols and superglue the affected parts to stop the spread?

[matt frizz]

I unfortunately have no iodine or superglue.

Nor fragging materials. I've never had problems like these before. Had this stag for over a year, it was turning into a nice colony

So I moved again to a new apartment in Richmond. Right before I left the AC broke at my old place and it was 90 degrees f in my apartment for over a week and there was nothing I could do about it. Needless to say, I lost some SPS but the new rock scape is incredibly good. I just sit around and stare at it all day, I finally nailed it. Stacking the rocks before filling the tank helped me so much. Also, (although I hate to admit it) having less corals has made it easier to rock scape. It was overcrowded before and now it has a simpler, more straightforward and refined look.

I have some friends with macro cameras down here now so I'm gonna try to get somebody to come photograph my corals soon. I got rid of my yellow tang also, he was obviously not happy in this tank. It's just the mandarin now still eating his pellets. I'm considering trying a female mandarin. I probably won't risk it though and get a fish that swims around and is very colorful and a good pick for my tank size. No clownfish, they'll steal the Mandarins food.

Get a McCoskers dude. I got one yesterday and when I came home from work today it was dead Im pretty pissed but hopefully if I raise a stink about it I can at least get some of my money back.
