125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

[tbrown]

Well, I bought it to "test the waters" but the cheapo Acro is actively RTNing right in front of me. Not ready for Acros yet. Also to note though, it is a Microclados so probably one of the more difficult and picky Acros.

So I "rescued" a micro brittle star from the 75. As it's floating towards the rock my Melanurus swoops in for an easy meal. So much for that member of the CUC.

Never had Zoas survive very long before... I've got 8 heads of Eagle Eyes, 3 heads of Gorilla Nips, 3 heads of Radioactive Dragon Eyes plus a baby polyp, and 2 heads of some Riptide Zoa and a baby polyp.

It's official - the 75 is empty (well, still has some baby snails and some limpets). Electric Daisy Stylocoeniella was transferred the other day with the last of the fish.

All rock was removed and it's going to dry for a while before soaking with the new frag rock I made.

solid! I usually don't buy stuff like this from Amazon anymore but for $5 I can risk a little watered-down product...

Mag: 1275 - finally getting closer to where it should be.

Mag - 1275
Cal - 415
Alk - 9.4

Going to add another chunk of magnesium and then I'll add some more calcium later. I'm happy with the alk at 9.4 for now. Corals all seem happy except one of my mushrooms is currently ripping in half from the middle... Hopefully I'll end up with TWO SBB Eternals and not a dead Eternals.

two is usually better than none.

Man this thing is hard to photograph... Hulk Lepto is finally encrusting. Top is 7500K white balance with brightness turned down to almost nothing. Bottom is orange lens.

It seems happy and healthy but it's turning into two or three pieces. The edges aren't jagged so I'm hopeful it's splitting.

Woohoo! I won a free frag of Meteor Shower and a $25 gift card to Southwest Aquaculture.

I'm thinking about grabbing a Blasto and a Chalice.

Speaking of how are the torches doin???

One of them has polyp bailout at say number 6 or 7. The other one has 3 heads fully split and a nice, thick and juicy flesh band. The tentacles wave at me constantly.

Is there a mouth on the other side? I know very little about successfully keeping mushrooms.

mine has what I think is a foot. sometimes it will let the head pop off and both will regrow the missing bit.
