Don't wish on that too hard.. because it will more than likely happen down the road then you will be cursing about it for a while.

Time for my beginning of Sept pix update:
http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg Sebae continues to color up and is now growing in size. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg Purple Encrusting sps is now growing since I moved it. This one appears to be a bit of a slow grower. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg I put in a small piece of live rock for the two Xenias to walk onto at the bottom of the tank. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg I broke off a couple branches of my Purple Tipped digi to keep it from growing into my red digi. I am hoping the frag suvives. If it does, I want to trade a local for a green digi which I don't have yet. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg The radioactive dragoneye zoas are growing like crazy, and on the sandbed. The circled area in red, is on the sandbed and will be the area I will be fragging. I want to do a trade with a local for some other colored zoas. Orange or blue. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg The small 4 head frag of duncans has been steadily growing. It now has 8 babies growing around the rim of the larger heads. woot. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg My blue devil damsel flashes purple from the reflection of my camera flash under actinics. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg Two shots showing how much my purple ochtodes has grown. It needs to be trimmed now. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg Lastly, for those who wonder how well berghia nudis work to get rid of aiptasia, I have included two pics of two of the areas in my tank where I placed them in my tank. Circled in red are the areas where the little nudis have killed off aiptasia that kept coming back by other methods. Refer to earlier pics in this thread to see the full comparison. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-09-2010.jpg |
Caught two of my berghia nudis moving about getting in position for tonights feast. I know which two aiptasia aren't gonna be there by tomorrow.
These berghia are also almost twice the size they were when I first got them. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-13-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-14-2010.jpg |
I bought a bunch of frags off of a local hobbiest who is taking down one of his tanks. Here is what I got.
Yellow green deepwater zoas http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg Blue tipped Tenuis http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg Unknown ... but almost looks like a red planet.. will have to wait and see what the polyps look like. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg Unknown purple encrusting that likes high light.. really high light. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg Unknown Green. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg Unknown tan http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg Unknown purple http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg Another unknown purple http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg Unknown, green, and I think it has blue tips. At least it seems that way in my tank. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg Green centre with purple rim zoas, also some pinks in there too. I will put it in a better position in a little. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg Orange with green skirts and red zoas http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg This is wither a pokerstar or rainbow monti that I thought long dead and found on the sandbed of my tank regrowing when I cleaned the glass in that area. I moved it up to the highest point in my tank to see how it does. Polyps are definately out. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...09-21-2010.jpg I forgot to take a pic of the poccilopara, but I will in a few days. If you know any of the names of the sps that I don't please feel free to let me know. |

Finally, some new pix.
Of the hardware.. I got an RO unit. So instead of using tap water I am now going to me making some treated water. Eventually, if I need to I will get the DI part. I also got a 12" frag rack as there are a few things I need to start making into frags. Oh, and my other 21w par38 bulb came in the mail today from fishmonger1. Thx so much for that. So, now to the new livestock. Yep.. that's right.. another maxima clam. This one is close to the other one I have but has a blue rim instead of the green. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/o...10-07-2010.jpg This shy little guy will take some time to come out of hiding.
