@Bck2hobby — thanks again for the gig! Hope this one will survive.

Day 3 Update - mouth is closed and super happy!

It was a mess but managed to clean it all up before the Home Boss found out! ;)

I love these new fragging tools. My old ones rusted so threw them away.

What tools are they? I need to invest in a set. I smashed my finger so bad tonight while trying to use an inappropriate tool to lop off the stem on a frag plug. It is time to get proper tools!

I have this one but any kit from BRS will do.

Day 4 Update - mouth still closed and no deflating! Looks like she’s doing well.

If things do well, will try to move her closer to the light next week. Hopefully can feed a little mysis to get some energy…

New gig is here — hope it won’t eat my tangs for dinner!

The Goldflake got lost in the sump and I can’t find it :(

Woke up this morning and found the gig had moved down from the top of the rock. The tank is a 12” bare bottom so perhaps it likes smoother, flat surfaces? Also, flow and light might bother it. Radion G6 Blue is only running at 35%.

Mouth is not gaping, no bleaching, and looks completely normal. Will let it be to see how things go.

Looks like it found a happy spot with plenty of flow (MP40 Reef Crest at 70%) and directly underneath the Radion G6 Blue (30%). Is nice and puffy — hope it’ll stay and not wander into the MP40, which would be super bad news!

If stay long enough, it will kill my mini-colony of atomic green paly, which I don’t mind! ;)

Tonight’s video - still rocking’! ;)

Sunday morning update — she’s vibrant and happy!

Distraction - I spent 2+ hours to make 25 frags and mini colonies of the CC Banana Hammock and PC Rainbow! Making frags is indeed time consuming…

Blue Gigantea update -

Anchoring: settled in the same spot for more than a week now.
Light: down to 30%, increased to 35%. Goal is to get 55%
Flow: reduced to 50% (Reef Crest) since the discs are folded like tacos!
Feeding: no feeding yet. Will likely feed next week assume things are still good.

 

[backbayreef]

thinking ahead — will try to get a green gig and my life will be complete…lol famous last words! ;)
