Alec's 40gal breeder chronicles!

You to bro lol. too bad i was @ work all dayyy. i made it home at 11:55pm juuuuuuuust in time. Tank looks great btw man, i think im runnin the same fixture n ati bulb combo on my 4x24". i love it. Saints def hooked you up on those frags man.

 

Haha that's whatsup. Everydays 4:20 down here, you know how it isss. I appreciate that though man. I love the new bulbs. All the corals look 10x better. Yahh saints hooks it upp. I've been waiting for the toadstool to open all the way up, and it's alllllmost there. So pics will be coming soon. If you or anyone is looking for some good corals at a fair price hit him up. I'm lucky he and I live close so shipping is a fraction of what it would be buying off a website. I think about half the corals in my tank were in his at one point or another haha

 

Hey everyone. Got a few pics of the new adds from saints fan I was talking about above.. The first is a green polyp toadstool, then the second is a pic of this barnacle I got off eBay for a little decoration I think it's pretty cool at least.. You can also see 2 purple digitata frags at the top of the picture he threw in there for me. Then a new zoo frag! I have a little GHA here and there on my rocks, so I went and got a little emerald crab today . I really don't know why ppl hate on crabs so much. The little guy is reallyyy cool. He's been steady munching down since I put em in, so I think he's doing good

 

Looks good!

I have never had any thing but good experiences with emerald crabs, so I hope he works out for you.

 

Very nice adds congrats, I have never had any issues with Emerald crabs either.

 

Yahh I really don't get why some people dislike crabs so much.. I think the little guy is pretty awesome. I think I'm gunna end up getting him a little buddy actually.

So the time has come.. The 2wks of QT for my clowns has gone by. They look great and they're nice and fat! I'm nervous about transferring them over. I unknowingly bought a sick clown which got another clown of mine sick and both ended up dying from ich.. But that was over a month ago. I've been feeding these guys garlic soaked food to build they're immune system. So I really hope they do ok. Quick question, how should I transfer them over? Just a normal drip or what?

Just placed an order at Mr. Coral and I got some REALLY cool stuff in the $10 section. It should be here by thurs, so I'll be sure to post some pics

 

Hey man just read through your tank build, I def like the way its lookin, it really is amazing what new bulbs can do isn't it haha, gl with adding in your clowns

 

I appreciate that Bobo! You wouldn't believe the growth I've had in some of my corals since I added the new bulbs.. My trumpet coral has split 2 new heads in less than 2 wks.. Well worth the 80 bucks!

 

tank looks awesome, i too have a 40g breeder and I think it's perfect. keep up the good work. can't wait to see what you do with it as time goes on.

 

So I found my emerald crab dead in the tank a little while ago .. I really have no clue how it could've happened... He didn't look torn up or anything, and my params are fine.. I have a shrimp and 3 hermits I've had in the tank for more than a month with no problems. I'm bummed! I liked that little guy.. I'm going to get another one tmrw I think. From a diff LFS. Any idea's as to what may have happened?
