Progress

full tank shot. hurry up about it, we wanna see! ;D

 

LMAO!! Will do once I get home

I still need to learn how the hues on the camera work. It's making everything look brownish and less vibrant but I'm not sure why

 

Favia is looking more healthy. I'm really pleased about that....REALLY pleased, LOL.


Some kind of pink sps (I think) that was yellowish with green and brown when I got it. Cleaned it up a bit and stuck it in there for safe keeping. Since I don't have VHO lighting I'm thinking I might need to bring it to my LFS.


The pulsing xenia (some reason the coloring is off in the pic....it's a nice pinky purple) and my mandarins head.


Different zoas together.


Clown and her BFF, Jill. They really are inseperable; it's strange.

 

FTS from left to right. Not too mich coralline on the glass although I just scraped a bunch off of my powerhead and skimmer pump...... Everything is still relatively brown although there are MANY more colors visible by the eye. Lots of reds/pinks/purples/green/some orange.


Middle (don't mind the ugly sweeper. it serves it's purpose and is on it's way out of there this weekend (hopefully)......if the good Lord is willin and the creek don't rise. Uh oh, my algae clip fell off.....disregard that, LOL!!! How embarassing.

There's lots of algae on the back glass. That's what ya get for hired help. Mr Algae Blenny is slacking big time.


Upper middle shot


That SPS(?) again. Looking way better.


Not as nice as you guys tanks but, gotta work with what you got. I think it's coming along nicely. I can't drop money on dosers and controllers and the niceties so it's a pretty basic tank

Thanks for looking!

 

Hey Whippy. looking good IMO

What are you getting to replace the sweeper?


Steve

 

To replace the sweeper I'm just picking up more koralias and working with the positioning. I'll be keeping it in there until I know that things are how I want them though.

It's a great little gadget (ok.....big in my tank) that does the job I need it to but I only have a 29g and can't afford the space it takes up

 

Looking good. I know what you mean about things taking up space. I have a 46 gal and I feel there is just too much stuff in there so I am building a small sump(don't have room for a big one) to try and free up a little space.

 

Yeah, I would definitely be on that path right now if I had the space and if I was not getting ready to move.

I know.....the deaded M word....moooovvvviiiiiiiiinnnnnnngggggggggggg

 

On a side note, does anyone know what that pink SPS looking one it?!

 

MY HERMIT CRABS!! THEY SPAWNEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

I was about to go to sleep but I went downstairs to check on the tank. I turn the flashlight onto a corner of the tank and all of these mini-mosquito looking things are swimming around. Millions of them!!

I look up all the spawn for anything capable of breeding in my tank and it's hermit crab larva!! Either that or the emerald crab I bought a couple of weeks ago was pregnant.....although I didn't see any egg sponge on her abdomen so I don't think it was her.

OMGZ I'm excited...sorry guys, I know I'm a huge dork right now!! A 25 year old sounding like an 8 year old, LMMFAO!

As soon as I saw the little guys I turned off the skimmer, just until morning!! We'll see how they fare. I thought about siphoning some out into my 1 gallon but I don't have a heater for it so that's not an option. OOOOOOOHHH I hope some make it!!!
