GoVols: Red Sea S-400

@hybridazn
Happy 4th of July.

If you don't mind. How many asterina starfish are you dealing with?
When I'd go to work and lights off, it looked like a small blizzard on the glass and they were hitting the coralline and zoa's.

Back then I had coralline like three layers thick on the back glass. I scraped it off in October because my wife said see couldn't see the fish swimming against the purple/pink background.

Such a nice thing to say Freddie, thank you

I am your typical Libra lol. I go this way and I go that way until I'm settled on what I'm going to do and when. If something doesn't sit perfectly with me then it won't get done until it is. I am also so busy doing things for other people all of the time not to mention all my own stuff besides the reef tanks. It is sometimes hard for me to find time in between. For example what kept me from it this week is car troubles and I am sewing a crib set for my granddaughter's crib that is in my house. Lol each of the bows in the pic take 50 minutes and I have 16 of them to do. I'll post the finished set on my thread when I'm done

Lol, I think I may have even had the idea for the bridge longer than that!

I promise I will start the bridge next week. Hopefully my cement is not hard as a rock and still usable otherwise I have to order it because I can't get it near me - I'll check tomorrow after I get back from the car doctor. I get my days off from babysitting my granddaughter on Tuesday and Wednesday for sure sometimes I get extra days.

I think I figured out how I can create the form cuz this one's going to be a little tricky. So if the mix is good I'll begin making the form. And yes, I will document as I go [emoji12]

Due to my big mistake with not rinsing the coals after the dip.

I did frag out one of the digi's and took most of the healthy frags to my local reef shop.

The Green SPS has had some tissue recession too but looks like it has come to a halt, (for the moment ) but I kept moving it around at the base and could have damaged the coral for doing that. Lol... Going for all or nothing with this coral colony.

The pink/red bushy has colored up real nice (with no tissue recession) and it's polyps are finally starting to show their selves after the dip debacle.

The birdnest is still recovering after me frying it and still shows new growth but parts of it are still healing.

Side Note: I did clip off one of the tips on the big green digi's bigger branches and it has already grown back to a nice a rounded tip. So the Kessil/T5 lighting is able to do the job.

Will post a picture of scape and coral placement tonight.

Regards, GoVols

 

[GoVols]

OK,
Sorry for the digi frag on floor... (lol) Royal Urchin path.

Pictures of scape as of today:

Picture #1 with all lights on.

Picture #2 (T5's off) and only with the Kessil a80's on.
(lol)... Just had to show "my very good friend" @saltyfilmfolks , that an a80 does not have the same spread as a penlight...

Welp,
That's all for today and the "Stripey" will be leaving Wisconsin tonight and will be at our home in the AM.

Regards, GoVols

My wife called me at work and the "Stripey" has came in from Wisconsin.
As Jackie says... "He's a good pooper" and there's a lot of waste in the clear bag.
So, I will not drip acclimate. Could raise the ph and get a ammonia spike while the little guy is in the bag. ;Dead

Will float, pour into net and release.

Then heading back to work.
