AGAIN !!!! NOBODY HOME,..i feel soo alone..... good early morning all

 

[NY_Caveman]

You are never alone here brother!

 

[fishguy242]

how are you doing up there?

 

[NY_Caveman]

Okay. Leaving work now. A little early. Been surprisingly busy lately. Six weeks of isolation other than work has taken its toll. Needed to step back and get my poo together. Spent a few days doing massive work on my tank and my apartment. Way overdue. Also trying to get back into some of my more creative habits like playing music and writing. I was getting into a bit of an isolation rut if you know what I mean.

Don't feel bad, I think that's caught up with a lot of us.... I find myself doing more things that were on my "Maybe I'll do it someday if I find time" list because... well... I found time... or time found me.

different it is..to say the least. remember you can always pop in for a good laugh here

Did you ever have that ONE FRAG that stressed you out?! I have one right now that I swear to god needs more attention than my wife. Leave it alone for a little bit, the base starts to recede... Slow the base from receding, the polyps friggin' retract for a week. Finally shows the polyps again, base recedes.

I swear frags like these are what calcium reactors were made for.

I can kill a Montipora faster than anyone. Easiest coral right?

 

[StatelineReefer]

I have the same issue, Monti cap fragments just go pale then white, no matter what water or light settings I put them under...

They just die... like, within a week die.

Good morning all. I always had good luck with monti caps And branching montipora. Grew huge in my 140. But, never had much luck with encrusting monti. Never made sense to me. I did run a calcium reactor on that tank.

 

[fishguy242]

i can plate them 1/16" a night, branching never have been able to get too much growth out of

 

[Katrina71]

I hope to God I can do a red monti cap.

 

[fishguy242]

better start the blueprints on the bigger tank now rather than later good morning

 

[Katrina71]

I was dreaming about rockscape last night. In particular an arch set at a diagonal.

 

[StatelineReefer]

With a sweeping cove at the base for a euphyllia garden?

 

[Fin]

I hope to God I can do a red monti cap.

You will.

 

[StatelineReefer]

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait... 4 more hours until the colony arrives!

 

[Katrina71]

Here's what I'm thinking with the scape...lagoonish. Rock islands as well as a larger structure in the rear.

 

[StatelineReefer]

If you're doing that, Katrina, make sure you have lots of randomized flow, It'll keep the voids between rocks from filling up with detritus and cyano.
