Diefs 120 Peninsula

I was trying to get a good pic of the goni as it was looking nice but I noticed white tips...normal?

Then I realized it was stretching towards Frank's leather and moved it...I think it's mad:

Goni was about to get nasty on the leather lol. Those white tips are it nematocysts. Goni can be viscous if it wants to lol.

That looks very similar to a weird gray sponge I pulled out of my micro tank. I vote sponge on the white stuff.

Huh, the strands look hollow in these pics! I guess it must be a sort of sponge. Looking at how it grows, I'll assume that's the case. If y'all have extra, I'll gladly take some off your hands!

You can come on by anytime and get what you want

Thx Danieyella!

Holy cow - you supported the floor too! This build keeps getting better and better!!!

 

[PeterC99]

Wait - I’m on page 8 of your build and still no saltwater in the aquariums?

Is there a condensed, cliff note version?

Ok - back to page 9…

Thank you for the kind words! I guess I need to go back and clean up the thread a bit. Never did make a condensed version. Still a lot of work to do but its getting there

Did you make it to page 10?? Shows the fish room, then jump to page 19 and 20 and I have water
Page 30 and 31 new coral in qt.. jump to 35, and from 37 on we have more new coral and some great pics.

Been a min since I updated my own thread.
lots going on in the Frag QT and everything else looks to be running ok at the moment.

Have some questions;

First; what the heck is this?? Sponge or Alga? Feels kinda solid compared to GHA.

Second; Have some sort of transparent bubble sitting right at the top of the skeleton of my Scoly.
Do I need to scrap it off or should I leave it alone? Not a great pic but its near the back of the frag qt and cant get in close enough for a better one.

Unknown on white thingy#1.

White Thingy #2 has me debating myself. I really Really want to say it's pushing out another polyp. With all of the pics you posted, I'm zooming in and it both has Color and it looks to have a center area that resembles new/early shroom mouth when you cut them. I a very much want this to be correct.

Frank said the same thing. Thinks its a new Scolly coming out. I hope so will be cool to document.

Sump and all mechanicals in the basement? Is this what heaven looks like???

I should show this to my wife but then she would just send me the divorce papers!

Or is could be like when I showed something similar to my wife and she said "why are we not doing that"
Thats what started the whole basement fish room! Its all her fault
