Just catching up.. this is better than a soap opera , now I need a cigarette and nap ;Hilarious

So the fish trap went into the cube end facing the swim through at 9-30 am, the flame angel nearly moved in to it! ;Facepalm
After about 30 minutes I caught her, turned the trap and released her into the cube, re-positioned the trap, the cherub wouldn't go near it with her around.
11-15, caught the aip file fish, I watched it start on by rainbow echinata a few days ago!
My lfs is closed on a Monday so I have closed the trap and moved it away from the swim through, I will set it again on Tuesday morning.

I don’t know how you have time to sleep or drink with moving all the fish and coral.

The flame angel loves when I move things, gotta keep her amused!

My lfs has a blond naso in the coral tray next to the one housing mine who is now sold, it is bigger than my old one but is not eating.
I try not to think about this as it annoys me, not just my lfs but the wholesaler too, they try to get things on frozen shrimp and stuff and not what the fish actually want and need to eat.
I eat very little red meat, if I went to the states and ate steak (I love steak) a lot I would become constipated!
Their digestive system is designed to deal with mostly algae food plus some live food.
Anywho, my mate tried it with frozen mysis and things, pellet and then flake, nothing.
I had a rummage in a sump and found some red ojo (I think), pulled off a pinch and dropped it in, my mate was gone, bam!
He is going to do a small algae feed rock for it!

Just because there is no rush, I was offered the acro I nearly bought a few weeks ago today, new Indo deep water and I said no.
Close your mouths!
They are more delicate, I can wait!
The twins have gone down from simmering to brooding with the phos spike, we'll get there!

Other stuff happened, I moved the two PE palys to a higher light and flow spot, both were stretching.
I can only show you part of one of the new guys as due to this being Indo and not Vietnam I am allowed to call them what I want!
"Najer's Stellars!" $420 a polyp, going fast!
You pay the money you will get a pic of your actual polyp!

 

[najer]

Oh yeh and the flow indicator frogspawn, the hammer and torch are to the left. even with me messing with the flow they are fine!

 

[najer]

I figured out a month or two ago that the island scape had shifted, it would be my fault as the piece of rock in question weighs about 15 - 20 lbs!
I might take a look at that this week!

I was thinking "Najer's Nuts" might be a better name. However, if this was the case, they'd sell for much more than only $420 a polyp!

Morning pink, loving the new acros.

 

[najer]

I started raising the flow again today, this is my indicator coral, slowly slowly!

 

[najer]

I have had this for 4 or 5 years, the most beautiful acro frag I ever saw, when I placed it here I broke the tall twig off, it died.
This has died back twice and bleached a few times but comes back.
It is on a 3 cm disk and is based out onto the scape at the back, this is from the front, from the desk end (left) that "bump" is bright green, no rush for a new branch!

 

[najer]

I forgot, I tested, nitrates still 100 but phos down to maybe a shade under 1, I will test in a couple of days, the phos media is a less aggressive one, I will change as required.

I bought the power supply today, the old £15 gamble is alive, stone aged GHL lives!

Wonderful PE on that beauty!

Wonderful PE on that beauty!

Thanks, at current growth rate check back in about three years, we might have a branch!

I cleaned the front glass of the cube yesterday, it is getting a deep clean later!

 

[najer]

I discovered something about the pebble crab the other day, it filter feeds!
I'm not sure if it actually eats as well as it generally has it's back to me.
The two protrusions above the eye are like little feather dusters and close super fast.

 

[najer]

I just caught the flame again and released her into the cube as she was keeping the cherub away, I'll worry about her being grumpy at me later!

 

[najer]

No cherub caught, I will try again tomorrow.
Went to the lfs anyway!

I have been thinking about this for weeks, other things got in the way, nice sized piece!

The three acro amigos have been in the country for 2 weeks today, not looking too shabby!
