Derasa Clam

Bubbles the Yellow Tang

After introducing the tangs from qt into the display months ago I was afraid of aggression issues but so far there has been none! They all get along quite well including my bully powder blue. This of course makes me very happy, also having corals growing makes me happy too.

Awesome! Super excited about the tang report. Glad my guys are behaving for you! LOL The corals are looking stellar as usual.

I'm throwing around the idea of tearing down my frag system after the swap, since I lost almost all of my sps I don't see a reason to keep it up at this time. So I'm trying to clear space too lol.

There are a couple other pieces I have my eye on buy want to wait and see how much more I sell before I reserve anything else.

Any new FTS?

Any new FTS?

None sadly while my corals are doing well they are still small mini colonies/frags so my 180 from a fts appears empty still

So neptune released an update on fusion for what I think is a pretty important feature. If there is a power outage and fusion loses connection to my apex for a certain time it will notify me of the issue. This is very handy to have in case I go on vacation, I can make a quick call to my tank sitter and let them know haha.

This new feature is disabled from the get go but it's easy to turn on. First just go on fusion and click on the 3 bar button in the top right corner.

Then click on the apex button with the house next to it.

Then scroll down a bit to where it says heartbeat

After that click where is says disabled, a drop down menu will appear and then select enable and that's it!

This feature is on and ready to help protect our fishy friends and our corals!

Thank you! I wish my monster desjardini was in front as well, he would make the tank look less empty lol

 

[hybridazn]

FTS on my cell. Royal blues own me... lol

Ok, so one of my biggest peeves with taking pictures is the dreaded full tank shot. I've always struggled getting good pics because they always pick up a white haze on my glass. No matter how much I tried scrubbing the glass or which angle I tried taking the picture it would always pick it up. So tonight I told myself I was going to finally beat the haze lol. Here are a few shots I got that I think are on the right path.

The tang gang say, "feed us!" lol

Ok so not the greatest but DEFINITELY better than my usual offerings of a FTS I usually put up lol.

Here are a couple coral pics I snapped too

Hello old friend… The Jason Fox Fox Flame has finally returned to my tank! This was one of my favorite pieces before I lost it in my crash

I backed it up with a good friend who finally was able to cut me a tiny piece to give back. It was really pale when I got it but it seems to be slowly getting some color back.

The popular Oregon Tort, man I love this piece. Mine is particularly fuzzy for some reason. I get crazy polyp extension out of it.

Reef Raft Pretty in Pink. This piece took a loss in color because for a while my fish kept knocking it over. So i finally busted out the epoxy and super glue to really mount it. It won't move now lol

Reef Raft Pink Floyd

Now I'm a die hard SPS/acro guy but this piece is slowly becoming one of my favorites in the tank. This elegance coral came from @mdbannister and has literally tripled in size since May.

Sorry for the SPS pics coming out a little shaky. Shooting free hand thru glass isn't ideal, I was just too lazy to bust out the tripod tonight lol.

That's it for tonight!

Thanks for looking!

George- how is the Powder Blue's behavior. I had read/heard that they were real mean and pick on less aggressive fish. Love their looks and Reef Gallery has one for $100.

Hey was in time out for about a year because he was bullying my desjardini bad. But since I've added him back to the display at the same time aso the yellow and blue hippo he has been a model citizen. Theye have been together only a short time though, around 8 months so far.
