ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

[tbrown]

So I keep reading about you moving frags from one tank to another but I have no clue….

Would you be so kind sir to tell me why?

I'm tearing down the 125 to set up a planted freshwater tank for my wife.

How nice of you!!!!

How nice of you!!!!

She actually wants me to set up the 110 because of the footprint but that's so difficult to make look decent as a planted tank since it's almost 3' deep. We'll see what I decide to do I guess. I could do a rock pile on one end and drift wood going across the back and middle into the rocks... The biggest issue is getting enough light at the bottom of the 110.

And a FTS after some minor rearranging:

I need to clean the glass and snow the tank again. I also need to move the second Noopsyche over. I think I have 3 corals left to move and I can do that.

Hmmm... Looking at that picture I might need some more rearranging. All the pink is on the left and mostly green and yellow on the right and blue in the middle.

I guess I need to find a spot for the Jolly Rancher up in the top-middle left down in the lower rightish...

 

[tbrown]

Move the Jolly Rancher (Green) and the Bubblegum Digitata (Yellow)

That'll help break some of that up I suppose.

Peek-a-boo!

Neon Blue Cleaner Goby.

 

[tbrown]

I almost bought a Sharknose the other day... Wonder if I'd get away with 3... I have a Yellow Line and a Neon Blue already. Sharknose is the only 1 I'm missing.

Also, @ESABOE you were talking about Bubblegum Digis - here's mine:

Polyps are pinkish red, flesh on the non-growth areas is purpleish blue, and growth areas are lime green with almost white tips.

Really loving this digi the more I see all the different grow-outs from different tanks. Def on my TSA list to check out.

Bubblegum Digitata, ROAB Digitata, and Red Digitata are all in my tank. I used to have a Tubbs Stellata but the Monti Eating Nudibranches ate it. Spongodes is another cool growth pattern and neat color Digitata but I already have the WWC Slimeball which is fairly close in color but different growth pattern.

Couple shots of the tank:

Well @tbrown , I'm officially done with urchins. Had one mow down a bunch of goni frags. He's been on that rock several times but saw him last night on it and had a weird feeling. This morning, nothing but white frags...

Oh heck no that urchin would be in the toilet

Heck no then I'd have to do plumbing too! Not the type I like either!

I’m not I violent person by nature
But with the amount of money I’ve spent on Gonis

If something else murders them

I might - most definitely- will lose it

 

[tbrown]

Hey @stoney7713 I will say that Urchins are good at eating dead things. When Gonis get infected and die, it's usually within a couple of hours. Any possibility that they died? I know when mine at part of my Galaxea it ate skeleton and all, not just the flesh. Did the skeletons look chewed on?

Nope they were really taking off and extending well, blowing in the current earlier in the day.
