Is doing well! Got him February 2012. Still fat and happy!

The Kenya Tree and Xenia have become a forest. All over the tank. Frags are almost constantly breaking off and floating around only to anchor somewhere and then they turn into these giant colonies and start the process all over again. Here is a photo of them sleeping. Those innocent cauliflower...

Picked up this little guy yesterday. During his first hour in the tank he was hiding and when he did show himself he was not yellow at all! Blackish/Gray spotted. Within the hour he was mostly yellow. Then, very quickly he seemed to want to explore the tank and by morning it's like...

Please say it's not aiptasia! :grumble: It's growing and reproducing really fast.

I think they do! My first ricordia I purchased back in late February which has grown substantially and even split once was taking up the entire frag plug. Yesterday I noticed it has moved to the back of the plug and a new ricordia is on the front of the plug! How cool is that? :D

Picked this up at Midwest Coral Farms yesterday.

MWCF is closing the retail portion of their business. :( The last day is this Saturday. We made the two hour drive this morning and arrived 5 minutes after they opened the doors at 9:00 am. The place was packed! 25% off everything and 50% off all the small frags so they are $5 each! Scored...

The Mandarin and the Flame Angel. Acquired them March 23, 2012.

2nd Skunk shrimp. This one lasted twice as long as the first. 2 days total. First one was decapitated but what I believe to be the emerald crab which is no longer in the tank. Bought the 2nd one Friday. It was eaten today. I think the Flame Angel did it. :frustrat: Would a flame angel do...

Picked this up today at the lfs.

Man do I feel stupid! :frustrat: I picked up a few frags this past weekend. Everything seems to be doing well including this gorgeous yellow Goniopora which was not looking good initially but has sprung to life the past couple of days. I have also read that Goniopora is difficult to keep...

Went on the annual trip with the WI Reef Society to Chicago area fish stores. Midwest Coral Farms is freaking awesome! Picked up some new corals and a Mandarin Goby! Bad photos but he is still being shy so photographing him is proving to be interesting. Managed to get these.

Interesting developments since I installed the algae scrubber. I also installed a new Lifereef Overflow. yesterday which greatly increased the flow over the algae scrubber. Algae on sand and glass is disappearing almost before my eyes. Hair-like detritus color algae is being fed by the...

LOL! I did a little rearranging and his favorite cave got filled in with sand and so he decided, screw the left side of this tank! I'm moving in with the Clowns! It's so funny. 3 fish in a 75 gallon taking up about 5 galloons of space. I will try to get a photo of all three of them in...

06:00 - 08:00 no lights on 08:00 - 17:00 Full on (white & blue) 17:00 - 20:00 Blue only 20:00 - 06:00 Moonlight LEDs only Question: Is it OK to leave the Moonlight LEDs on all night long like that? I have an Algae Scrubber in the stand running 2 x 23w 2700 CFLs from 17:00 - 09:00 (all...

My Cave Goby (Gideon) has a nice cave dug under this one rock. It's his favorite cave. He has dug others but this one seems to be his home. At night, when the DT lights are off and the algae scrubber lights are on, you can see the light leaking through the bottom glass. Should I block...

My first ever Blue Leg Hermit died. :( He was doing great and all the other crabs in the tank are busy doing what they do best. He just stopped moving and then today another hermit flipped him over and he is just not moving. Even if I poke him to try to get him to withdraw into his...
