Great color on the acro. And i like how your CB has more orange then we usually see down here.

oh yeah i forgot about this beast lol j/k *crazysmil but for real that acro sure does have some nice color..and glad to see the mandrin is still kicking

My 2nd attempt to keep SPS is going good. I have 2 of them one was at the LFS not doing so good so I thought I would try to bring it back.

TRe - What are you referring to as the beast?

Does anyone know what the white thing is? Is it a sponge?

how is your mandrian and the YWG getting along? do they ever tango? im getting a red scooter and want to get a mandrain also but since they are the same body shape i was having second thoughts, shouldn't there be more coraline on your rocks for being a yr? i like the aquascape its pretty cool..

 

[Joe Fish]

Those two fish are getting along great. I never noticed any issues between them. I do see my blenny go after the gobie now and again though. The rocks do have a bit of coraline on them and the glass has even more. I haven't been maintaining good CA levels for the whole year. I only started when I noticed it starting to drop. So hopefully that's what it is.

have the sun corals opened up for you? they will really add some good color to the tank! i have some in my tank and they are open from 9pm-11am, if they don't open during your view hrs and you want them to just spray some water from your mysis on them everynight/day when you want them to come out for a few days and they should come out on their own after that.. ive never seen a kenya tree look like that before.. are you sure thats what it is? can you list all the fish you have in there please.. thanks

 

[Joe Fish]

Yeah, the sun coral opened last night. I heard you can train them to open at a certain time so I might try that. I don't know for sure that's it's a kenya or not. I went to the LFS and they had some small frags for 15 each so I got 3. Do you know what it could be? Colt? I did research on it and it resembled a kenya to me, but I could be wrong.

My fish:
2 Firefish
2 True Percs
CB
Blenny
YWG
Green Mandarin

i don't know what it could be, pretty sure its not a kenya tree tho unless there are different kinds b/c that looks nothing at all like any of the ones ive seen lol.. heres a pic of my suncorals..

TRe - What are you referring to as the beast?

lol i was talkin about the canopy that u built but i was j/k *SUPERSMIL

btw IMO that defintly looks like a kenya tree

 

[Joe Fish]

Oh yeah, I shortened it by about 4 inches so it's not as big now. It definitely was huge before.

Nice sun coral. Mine didn't open up that much last night. I'm going to try to get a better pic of it tonight.

Does anyone know what that white blob is?

 

[Lotus]

Looking nice

The white blob looks like a sponge to me.

 

[Lorna]

second that....probably a sponge of some sort

 

[Joe Fish]

Should I just leave it go?
