Hi Guys! I have a few new things in my tank so heres a few pics:

Theres a dead acropora that ordered along with fish but I had problems with the shipping so the acro couldn't make it and died but hopefully the fish survive the 3 day trip in the bag.

Beautiful! I love the ricordia especially.

 

[MikMcgyver]

WOW! What can I say. It all looks great. Livestock and corals.. I really like the firefish.. Flame angel is really nice too...

 

[SAMMY]

Thanks a lot guys. Did you notice Biff? the candy cane is not anymore in the sand. I found a nice spot for it. Unfortunately one of the polyps its like dying. It has some spots without the fleshy part. Why could this happen? I'm feeding it with brine and mysis when he opens it tentacles (twice a week)

Thanks a lot guys! Hey what's this thanks thingy in the right of each of you? Obviously is to thank you for something but what else does it does? or when do I need to officially Thank someone with this feature? Are the thanks limited? cause i'll have to thank each of you guys. :D

 

[MikMcgyver]

Just click the thanks button on the reply you want to thank, thats it....

 

[Bifferwine]

Thanks are unlimited, you can thank anyone that has something useful to say or compliments your tank.

About the candy cane, I don't know why it appears that a part of it is dying off. They are pretty tough corals and if everything else in your tank is doing well, I think it will recover and keep growing.

Tank really looks great! And awsome photo skills! I have one question though. Whats up with the salt bottle and the lines coming out of it?

 

[SAMMY]

Oh cool. Thanks guys for the "Thanks" help :P I hope the candy cane recover.
Bobby thats my auto top off. Its the air pressured one.

 

[bobby]

Cool! I dont think I have seen one like that. Do you have a link to make one?

 

[jhnrb]

Nice looking system. congrats.

 

[SAMMY]

Sorry boby... for some reason I'm sometimes I don't get email notifications and I forgot to check around. Theres plenty of diagrams about how to make your own ATO. I made this one so I hope you understand it. Its very simple. Oh and sorry for the spanish thing. It's an old diagram. That means Back to the tank (or sump)

And this is the Thing that you'll need

 

[SAMMY]

Here are some Tease pics cause i've been working with some rescaping and I don't like it so far so I think i'm gonna stick to the old escape and re arrange some corals. Also the water is very cloudy so when it clears up I'll post FTS
Drip Acclimating my new corals. The torch has a feww heads :D

This is the Acropora that i receive "dead" I just let it in the tank and looks like its regenerating some tissue. Its not bright white anymore. Will it be able later to open the polyps?

[Bifferwine]

Looking good! If the bleached coral appears to be regrowing some of its polyps and color, then I'd say it has a good chance of coming back. Just give it some time and take good care of it.

 

[MikMcgyver]

Nice torch sammy....
