Macrotology + Around the tank

[Cichlid-Man]

Heres some macrotology for everyone, and a couple random shots of life on Matt's part of the reef. Sorry in advance about the sizes, i didn't want to make them uniform.

2 of my babies, the other is up on the frag rack doing great.

Mohawks, colony growth is amazing...gonna be fragging these soon.

Skirts are actually more yellow then they appear here.

WOW...those are some pretty corals matt. How long have you had them? Oh and cool close up pics.*thumbsups

Thanks.

Yeah i can't seem to stop the bubbles, i have no idea how i'm getting them....

 

[Joe Fish]

Are you growing any macro?

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Not atm, want to get some Chaeto though. Will that help with bubbles? Or are you just asking in general?

 

[zoalover34]

ill trade ya some cheato for the mowhawks! LMAO.. But for real i would like to get a few polyps off of ya.. pm me we could work something out!

 

[Joe Fish]

No, I thought maybe you had chaeto that changed its gender on you... This can cause excess oxygen in the tank. This is why some prefer mangroves instead...

I had this issue when I started to get too much algae growing in the tank. It was producing A LOT of oxygen...

I don't think it's actually bad for the tank though.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Yeah just unsightly really.

When i frag them and they heal up i'll shoot you a PM Jim.

Haha, yeah they are probably one of my favorite Zoa/Palys and one of my favorite frags i have. Thats why i call them my babies. To bad they grow slow.

Thanks everyone.

 

[Joe Fish]

I actually just read that about cheato... maybe they got their facts messed up.

EDIT: yes tre, you were right.

For what I've spent setting up all my tanks I could probably have bought a really sweet camera.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Not a great picture but one i wanted to share. Heres my clam! Who says you can't keep a clam happy in a nano?! Its been going good for just about 1 month now. Seems like it has grown, and it definently opens up more then it used to. It opens fuller.

You can see part of my new Purple Monti in the pic, as well as an Acan and various Zoas. Those pink zoas are out of control, i have multiple frags of them sitting around.

 

[Joe Fish]

Hey, I used to have those buttons....

What kind of clam is that again?
