Pasty's JBJ28 Haddoni Biotope--New Video (7.4.2014)

So sorry about the clown.

Did you contact the distributor?

Brookynella kills very fast, but that is common with wild caught clowns.

Good luck getting the established clowns to play nice, that might not happen.

 

The clowns were from a local and it had been eating and happy up to the death. I don't feel it was sick before it died so I don't blame the previous owner. May just be bad luck or an underlying cause which I couldn't find.

The clowns will likely never play nice. My intention is to transfer the pair to the upgrade and use my 29 for the breeder pair (I will buy another when I'm ready).

 

Tanks are still on hold and since most of my time has been absorbed by house stuff, I guess I'll post some pictures of the progress of that...

Added built in wine racks


Finished up the workout room flooring this weekend:


Picked this up about 2-3 weeks ago:


Some bar stools and wall art are on the way still and we still have a few little projects left.

Tank-wise, I picked up some CuC stuff on Saturday from Ron but nothing to really write home about. My RBTA split sometime last week and both halves are in hiding so I'm hoping it's in "recovery" . My dino is slowly receding since I'm staying on top of my aggressive maintenance. Did water changes on both tanks yesterday.

 

I put in a couple of ricordea from the 28 and added a revolving outlet nozzle since this picture but it's mostly as you see here. Keeping it simple.

 

Felt bad for not adding some pictures lately so...

The 8:




Trusty 28:


Notice the nem split into 2 and both halves have relocated to different spots. One is at the base of my toadstool which it has severely upset. It just started opening again yesterday after a week of being closed up.


One of my favorite corals:

 

Wow you have been very busy. Congrats on the new digs, very impressive.

How long have you had the Goniopora? It's beautiful.

 

I've had it for a little while now. Probably 6 months. It's a slow grower but it survived the move and survived being given a trial run in the 8 gallon (unsuccessfully). It's an ORA frag.

 

Tanks look great, beautiful goni. ORA is the way to go with tough to keep corals.

 

It's a trooper for sure. I've lost corals to much less. I'm hoping to be back on track to upgrade with tax season around the corner.

In other news, I got engaged over the holiday season so we have been in wedding planning mode.

 

Went to the LFS to get some dry goods and check out some simple frags for the barren 8gal. and I left with this 6 headed Duncan. I almost made an impulse buy on a 3 headed golden torch but I couldn't justify the $180 right now.
