Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
Well, it is official. the clowns have been caught and remanded to the 125. It took me several days, but I finally caught them. I had to wait til they were asleep and attacked swiftly and gently. They got caught 5 minutes apart. I now have lots of room in the 90. I will be searching for a flasher wrasse or fairy wrasse...wait....do they jump? hmmmmm

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
So, I cut off a hunk of silver-tipped xenia to move around. there was a stump left over when I did it the other day and I noticed it sprouting more pulsing heads. I have an experiment: How fast does it really grow? Today is the 18th of January. I will post a pic once a week for a month and see what it looks like. Here is the stub, counting it as day one: for reference, it is about the size of the tip of your pinkie

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
it started three days ago or so as a bare, smooth stump and in three days got noticable polyps growing out of it. I think it will grow pretty fast. the POTM shot on the front page has the xenia in one colony and it has grown into four separate colonies that have covered the entire rock it is on. It is crazy. I plan on selling it back to the LFS for credit towards....stuff

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
guess who got a new friend!!!
After I moved the clowns, I realized that my tank looked a bit empty. I decided to look for a replacement. It was a tie between a foxface, a squamapinis anthia (yeah right - no more of those jumpers for me), scott's fairy wrasse (yeah, like I want a $150 jumper) and a small clown tang. Sooooooo, I went with:    -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
He is a healthy guy. Just about 4 inches or so. Not hiding a bit, swimming all around. I didn't notice if he ate tho, I am not too worried. He really brightens things up. Still thinking about 2 firefish. not sure if they will do well tho. don't want them to get stuck in the rocks all day. anyway, I hope he sticks around for a while
