Bleigh's 60 gallon cube

In the tank. Moving the rack down too, before anyone says anything. Just had it there to put them on easier. Looks like some are already opening up. No clue what the free one was... maybe a paly or a zoa of some sort?

So... here we go again!!!

Woo hoo! They're looking great! Are they all from auctions you won? Frag pack/WYSIWYG purchases as well? Either way looking nice post-shipment. Loving the snails, as well. My personal relationship with emerald crabs remains tumultuous, at best.

I haven’t tried the emerald crabs before. I’ve gone back and forth on having one, but they were on sale, so I figured it wouldn’t be terrible if I did have to toss it due to bad behavior.

They’re a combo of live sale and auctions.

I had a bad emerald that killed the other emerald I'd bought and kept trying to attack my fish, so I had to take it back. A lot of people swear by them, though, so you should be OK.

I had an emerald that did great for hair alge and a weird leafy algae I picked up on a frag plug. He started getting bigger and tipping over new frags, and i once observed him picking zoas off to get to the algae between them. I ended up returning him. Now my pistol shrimp is the frag flipping jerk-face. Lol

He’s small so hopefully he won’t be attacking fish anytime soon.

Lol. Jerkface. I may actually name the crab that! ;Happy

Trying to figure out what in the heck these zoa/palys are. Not sure if the edges just look blue because they haven’t fully opened yet, but they look like they’re going to be cool!!

"Frag-flipping jerk face" will likely go into my vocabulary as a fun insult now. Thank you.

It does sound super cursey without being cursey.

Hello again
Can I ask what you use for coral dip?

Last question.... what do you use for frag glue and do you use that insta-set stuff?

I should just start my own feed, these questions would be good for beginner reefers

I’m no rook but in the past I’ve never used coral dip or the stuff above I’m asking about lol

 

[Brian Coble]

I’m going to start my own thread and post pics
I feel bad stealing your thread and all with my questions
Lol nice frags you got there

 

[Hemmdog]

I have a coral dip. Unfortunately... I’ve never actually used it. I know. I’m breaking the rules. I didn’t know about dipping corals when I first started either. This is what I have.

I’ve started using super glue. I use to use the epoxy, but I have a hard time getting things to stay with it. I end up putting so much on that it’s a problem.
