Thankyou
I was using rubble and coral skeletons to try and form a fake model of a reef to show how different things affect a reef.
What are we looking at exactly?Just as you assume Inverts can’t have breakfast in bed nature proves you wrong…
This has to be the best thing I’ve seen all day (Aside from my clam slowly recovering).
The Strawberry Conch
On my max nano, I actually kept the light it came with however if I were to replace it I would try to latch the new light onto the part that the old light was on. I find that to be the best way to get a centred light.
I knew I forgot to get a photo of something before I left. This guy is one of the best acros I have growing. Polyp extension has lowered but he has also been through a bit of stress this summer (I finally got ontop of the stressing factors though which is a plus side).How’s the slimer doing?
The last one is my favorite!Here’s what we’ve all been waiting for!
The SPS Update
First off, the Stylo.
This has… I think I’ve lost it unfortunately, I will most likely try it in the 4’ tank and see if he recovers. I feel like the heat wiped the majority of it out as I didn’t catch it early on. Although, there is some polyp extension so there is Atleast some hope.
Bottle Brush Acropora.
This guy has bleached at the tips and gained some algae growth. The reason he’s bleached at the tips is due to my blenny knocking him off constantly and landing in the sand. I just have to wait either another 5 or so years for the blenny to pass on or wait till I find the right blenny to see if I can trade in the linear for (My eyes have been drawn to the Escenius pulcher).
Pink Milli/Acropora:
This guy has… Suffered a bit, I still have polyp extension however he has unfortunately bleached around the base with one area still covered in polyps. That red patch in the centre has polyp extension still so I hope he is recovering now.
The final Stick SPS!
We have one that has made it through the most, this guy has made it through and has some beautiful teal tips to him. I think he has grown though!
I know right! I was shocked that it actually showed that stunning teal on the tips!The last one is my favorite!
I also saw a beautifully sized tank so I may or may not get it depending on price. It’s the perfect height for viewing coral top down as well as side on.I did it again, I went to my further LFS to get coral. The blenny had his final warning. He will be moving tank (into the 4’ tank as I don’t plan for a TON of SPS to go into it). There is two Millis, one is a sunset, the other I have forgotten, then I also have a second Montipora spongoides as well as a Montipora digitata. All 4 pieces are stunning and I will get photos of them in acclimation!
I may upgrade the nano! I wish I got a photo but the options you could do with it are endless. It was 2.5 feet wide by I believe 18” by 18”.
It was a custom made tank and I believe it will be sold as an AIO however I could be wrong.
