The Garden -- Rakies shallow SPS cube

[Rakie]

The flasher has been hiding for a few days, not sure why. It booted the Firefish goby and the Tangaroa goby out of their rock.

It's a shame, my firefish is way too chill It's not afraid of anything not actively trying to bite her, and is down to snuggle with any fish that wants to share her home... Until they chase her out :/

An well, they'll figure it out. MOSTLY I'm hoping the flasher wrasse isn't sick, that would suck.

Bubble Algae still there, but dying. I could frankly plant my SPS right on top of them. My sticks grow much faster than the Bubble Algae at this point

So since it's been a long while... A few pics.

Both Photobucket, Flickr, are down so I just uploaded them here. Hope they work out !

The stag. That's what I thought. I really like that!

Okay, to be specific, that's a "Green Slimer". It's an old school one from ORA. A vendor in my area has a blue and purple slimer also.. They're vivid neon colors.

Thank you! Now that I've stopped fragging them every other week they're going to turn into an actual colony lol. Poor things, I never give 'em a chance to grow.

At least I'm not alone, dang corn nuts!

Man... You gotta ask John, he sat at my house and watched that thing go to war with it's reflection for like 45 minutes straight. He's literally opened a sore on his jaw from it.

Johns like 'okay, well he's not smart but he's super active' lol

Thanks Wally, I definitely need to take more pics just for growth comparison.

I was until my tooth issue cost me $700. So I'll just use what I have, I can make space for sure

Frags are growing out nicely, colors are definitely on point! Nice work!

 

[Amoo]

I think your bubble algae is more colorful then most of my corals

Ziiinnnng

Thanks! Yeah colors are doing okay. I've had them looking better so the goal is always improvement.

High par and high alk have made a big difference. So has a good amino acid that actually works. Thanks again @Katrina71

It's hard to get good pics with the lights at 15k spectrum. Took for ever to dial in the camera and the settings are going to need to be different for the 15k setting

Rakie,
Your shots are amazing.

Hope your feeling better, and on the mend.
