All pruned...looks great and I like the light color. Looks like a nice little spot for all those frags! Surely they will grow well for you in there! As for the sexies...take them back! Would hate to see those awesome acans and blastos destroyed! You have some beautiful pieces in there! Or......better yet...keep the sexies and donate those beautiful acans and blastos to a special friend!:wink::lol:
Thanks again for the macro! :mrgreen:

Thanks Girly......always open for donations huh?.......your welcome for the macro Carmen....

I added a couple things to the anti-pony tank.......a tri-color fairy wrasse and a "yasha hase" goby.......both of the newbies have been rather shy and I havnt been able to get any decent pics, so I will fill the void with some coral shots:biggrin:

I need an Invite:wink: And money cause I cant come home empty handed :biggrin:

Looks great man.. Nice refugium I have seen! :lol:

*Dan has started.. :wink: *

I guess a fuge is pretty much what it is at this point:lol:....but thanks....

He has:biggrin:!.........would kinda be nice to see it before I tear the tank down:wink:

Pom Pom(or Pom as it were)

I posted this in the big tank journal but will post it here too......Ive stopped dosing "eisen concentrate"(iron) to the system........I need to try and turn this tank back into the mini-display that it was intended to be........not a refugium......I hope that starving the system of iron will at the very least slow the growth a little....

on another note .......I decided that I didnt really like the color I was getting from the bulb combo I was running before.......so I changed everything out:biggrin:.........

heres what the tank looked like before with two aquascience duos 1 (old) "KZ "new gen", and a Giessemann "actinic+"

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...IMG_0036-2.jpg

and heres the tank after with 2 KZ "superblues", a new KZ "new gen" and a Geissemann "aquablue+"

It definitely looks bluer. What are your thoughts (visual perspective) on the bulb change. What changes has it made to the coloring of your acan colonies.
Kevin (inquiring minds want to know)

way bluer!......I dont know if I didnt like the old combo per say, side by side with the big tank it looked like it had a yellow tinge to it......now the color looks more like the big tank........I definitely like the KZ super blues.......they really give some of the corals that florescence.......gonna have to try them on the big tank methinks.....

heres a couple recent coral additions.....from where else?.......RC:mrgreen:.....I brought home a couple zoas from the ultra zoa shipment but they are still pouting from their "dip" so those will have to wait for their reveal...

^^ That superman is SHWEEET! :shocked!:

Everything is looking very nice. I'm due for some bulbs as my lights hooked up to one of my icecap quit working, so I think maybe those KZ. Whay else are you thinking of adding ?

Also you're not going to make me beg are you :pray: ?

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...e/IMGP4149.jpg

thanks man.....guess you and I are the only ones that appreciate how un-common they are.....there's still two rocks at the shop that no one has even sniffed at:noidea:

what else as far as bulbs.....or livestock?

and well its funny that you bring up the PPEs.......I moved the rock they were on over to the big tank for the tangs to clean the algae off it and they melted:bad-word:.........they are gone:sad:

Just curious about the live stock. I like the lights the way they are. As for the PPE's I think a kick in the arse is in order and no not a slap :heh:

funny you should ask about the live stock.......Ive just added what will have to be the last fish........Im gonna try and get some pics before I say what kind:biggrin:(and dont you say anything Shawn:wink:).......I love little inverts.......right now there are five sexy shrimp, 2 pom pom crabs and two porcelain crabs....oh and a cleaner shrimp (this has to be my shrimp tank because my mystery wrasse finds them tasty)........corals will be mostly zoas with a few acans/micros/blasto(this has to be my acan tank because my regal tang finds them tasty(only problem with this scenario is Ive since found out that one of my sexy shrimp also find blastos and acans tasy when they are damaged):frusty:) and a few shrooms and rics

Oh no Doug, that's so sad :cry:!!

Well I guess I have to wait....just like everyone else. :sad: Hey! are you not supposed to be lightening the load, Doug.... not adding to it. :razz:

tell me bout it........I finally fluke into some PPEs and they hate my system......I'll keep looking for em though:wink:

I know:redface:......Im bad:neutral:.......I should be punished:wink::twised:.......we've never had these guys at the shop before and I had to jump on one.........actually Dawn will like this guy:biggrin:

What is your choice of punishment? :lol!: :wink: Now where are those darn pictures? :boink:

[quote=Leah;515359]I'll leave the punishment up to you.....how's that?:wink::twised:

I wish I had seen the new addition since I put it into the tank.......been two-three days and I haven't seen a single sign of him:neutral:......not sure if its ok or not.....so how about some other pics???

I miss having a tank.. :sad: You guys got some sweet Zoas in. Tank is looking fantastic mang. :biggrin:

:fish: :biggrin1:

I was wondering how long it would be before you posted that you missed having a tank......I would have been Jones-n the next day:lol:......Thanks Josh


Oh baby you know what I like:mrgreen:


so operation de-fuge has swung into effect.....I brought in a tag team "heavy hitters" to help with the algae......a wee small, hopefully extremely hungry sea hare and a teeny tiny fish that shall remain un-identified for fear of being flamed (I will say that that fish will be transferred into the big tank when I moved and re-home the "three amigos" in the big tank)....

I think its safe to say that the "mystery" fish I added last week didnt survive:sad:.....it was(and hopefully still is) a "war paint" clown goby....Im hoping that if the algae-naters mow down some of the forest he might turn up ok......

[quote=fishytime;516313]




Oh baby you know what I like:mrgreen:


As a matter "O" fact I do.....not entirely sure..... that is a good thing though. :razz:

As usual your tank look great. as for the sexies:mrgreen:ihave a tank for them:mrgreen:

AND WHATS UP WITHT HE CAPTION CHANGE. I just noticed that now you are just plain " Reef Addicted". i liked the old caption better.:twised:

[quote=fishytime;515750]Oooo, that does sound so mean now that I read it:sorry:. It never comes out the same way in a post as it sounds in my head:tape::puppydog::sorry:
Those pinks are gorgeous.

I thought the"warpaint" clown goby I added three weeks ago was dead.........I just found him in the return section of the sump:shocked!:......a little rock re-arranging and I scooped him back into the add-on:bananajump:

Nice find...way better than change under the couch cushions!

Also...you need to get back to me regarding Thursday!

I could use some couch cushion change right about now!:lol:

Ive seen "Pom" lots but this is the first time "Pom Pom" has been out in the open....
