Dr Frag's T5 lit 180

Steve always a wise a....!
I am still planning on getting it on photobucket, Steve, don't fret buddy!! You will see it by next week tops! Hopefully I will be able to get it on photobucket tomorrow...
BUT the flip book would be a great alternative... You could then add in your OWN background music!

 

that is sooo cool. thanks for sharing!

 

I am planning on adding a clam tonight, even though I have my reservations about it as well as a couple more frags... I will have more pics up soon and yes Steve a more viewable format of the video for you!

 

Video thats not "You tube" would be appreciated Karma given in anticipation

Boy, how things have changed over the last year... I have a bunch of pics but have lost my USB cable to upload them..

Corals have grown quite a bit and livestock has changed...

I no longer have the chromis, too small of feedings coupled with social squabbling took them out. I now have a harem of lyretail anthias, 8 actually.
Main issues is dealing with the rampant GSPs that are taking over and alittle bit of valonia utricularis algae that hitch hiked into the tank. Its in the back of the rocks on the bottom and impossible to access but drives me nuts, I don't care if you can't see it, it still drives me CRAZY!! Hoping an urchin might help clean it up, as emeralds don't even look at it.

Other than that tank is doing well. I am going through a gallon of 2 part every 3 weeks or so, can't imagine what I am going to be using in another year?!!!

So until I get some pics up, thanks for viewing!

 

Joe, take that sailfin home to clear up the valonia. They actually eat the big bubbles as well.

My sailfin is what keeps the valonia out of my DT.

Joe, it sounds like you should buy a Calcium reactor. I know you are a set it and forget it type of guy. Ron Popeil would be proud.


Man that ORA blue monti you gave me a frag of grows like a beast! That is good, I need corals to fill in my new tank.

 

From what I have seen only the Z. desjardinii or Red Sea sailfin eats valonia... I would try bringing home the Z.veliferum, but A. the purple would probably kill it... and B. even if he eats the valonia, I would never be able to get him out, and my expected bioload is already bigger than I planned. Granted I don't have a small tank, I really wanted to keep the load light.... Oh well.

As for the Digi, yep, why do you think I brought in so much? I still have more, the stuff is absolutely nuts! Tom, if you want to pop over in the near future there is some other stuff I could toss you to get the woody filled up faster.

I have been seeing some kind of SLOW tissue necrosis as well in my tabling millie that I have. It resembles the Red Planet, but slightly different, whatever the case is... the coral loses about 1mm of tissue day. So although it isn't a rapid necrosis that takes the piece out quickly, it is still troubling and needs to be dealt with however that may be. If you have any ideas or suggestions let me know

Thanks for viewing

 

Weird about your mille. Nothing else in the tank is doing that as well?

I am transferring the contents of my 90g today. I know I need more corals in it, so yeah, I would love to get some more fill in corals.

Jerry even brought in a couple devils hands to help fill in my 200g. Those are doing great along with the few other critters in the 200g.

 

It started with an unidentified acro... A pretty sweet one actually. I fragged what I could and even though I cut way significantly higher up than the STN was it still affected some of the frags, even when I moved them all over the tank.

ATM the millie is the only one affected, bummer too as it is my favorite piece and looks like the fabled Red planet
