Chris' Reef

Oh no Chris just went all turbo! What a pro.

 

Still plenty of swimming room for now with just the little frags, but I will definitely keep you in mind when it comes time to start trimming the forest

I will have them sometime this week, depending on his work schedule.... I will get pics asap after intro tho (usually give them a day or so to adjust tho).

Lol thanks

 

Oh yeah I almost forgot to mention..... Last weekend I picked up 2 nice frags from another friend. 1 is a deepwater with nice thin delicate branches similar to an echinata. Seems to be a green- blue green coloration. The 2nd piece is an off colored strawberry shortcake I will try to remember to get pics of these when I get the new fish pics

 

Lol thanks man. I was just reading a bit of your thread and Alex gets dibs on your gorg and I want your sweet acros. Big compliment there (at least I think).
Definitely plenty of swimming room and I think they will be happy.
I can't wait to see these new guys. Congrats on the decision.

Btw your tank looks great.

Lol.

 

I consider it a big compliment! I am glad you guys enjoy my tank and watching its progress with me. I think I made the right decision really to go with the wrasses. It will help keep the amount of excess food lower, help break food down into smaller easier to use particles (more fish poop) for the corals, and provide some more color and movement to the water column

Thanks again Will! Hopefully it will continue to progress as nicely as it has so far

 

Just got back a little bit ago from picking up the hooded pair and the ornate leopard wrasse.... they are acclimating now. After acclimation they will be slowly introduced into the tank with lights out and the tank will remain dark until 3pm tomorrow (normal time when lights come back on). After that I hope to get pics within a day or two.

 

Awesome! Can't wait to see. How do they look?

 

They look great, the fish have always been healthy he just couldn't keep coral happy :-/

 

Awesome! I'm excited to see them in the tank

 

Me too.... almost time. With leopards I have always done a very, very slow acclimation. I picked them up in a 5g bucket so they are all together acclimating or I would have already put the hoodeds in as they are swimming around ready to go.

Also, I am waiting on my large female meleagris leopard to go to bed. Everyone else is in their sleeping spot but she is still up poking around like she knows something is going on.
