I guess it's going to be time to update with pics here soon, eh?
My tank has been going really well. Unlike his three doomed predecessors, the royal gramma has managed to stay alive!! Woohoo. We have been keeping the door shut when we're not in the office, so the cats have not had access to the tank.
Several of my ricordeas have split! Woohoo again! Many others have either grown in diameter, or grown new mouths. I'm very happy with the ricordea growth. I have been feeding VERY heavily with cyclopeeze, MicroVert, and CoralVert. I have to clean off the surface of the water with a paper towel in the morning to absorb uneaten food that has collected on the surface. But I've also been changing about 50% of the water every week or every other week.
I still have about five of them in a tupperware that are refusing to attach to rock. I want to kill them, those stupid mofos.
Right now, I am making water for a water change tomorrow. When I do the water change and clean the glass I'll post my update pics.
