in the very beginning not bad for free live rock that i hand picked

I need money for the casino so i thought id share pictures of my tank. this first pic is a little old so i will update tomorrow. I hate the green stuff on the back wall and have cleaned it up since. And the 6 line wrasse in the picture had his jaw broken and was eaten the next day. she was my third one bc i have a hitchhiker crab that only preys on my wrasses for some reason and i cant catch him for the life of me. i even speared him with a needle and he broke the needle in half and got away.

heres my newest wrasse who has avoided the crab for a few weeks now knock on wood

These move around quite a bit and leave a little bit of their foot and the foot grows into a new shroom in 2 weeks usually

heres my ultra red shroom that Ive been waiting to muster up the courage to karate chop in half

 

[byeung]

I left for a 3 week vacation and all my rock turned green

so i've been using a little bit of purple up to try and spread the purp around so far its working just really slow though

 

[byeung]

A frag of devils armor that i got they're a lot nicer in person i guess.

 

[byeung]

these shrooms were more teal/green when i first got them. now since they expanded they lost all their pop as you can see in the picture before. It drives me crazy bc most of the shrroms i buy look cool in the 10 dollars frag bin at lfs i bring it home they expand like crazy and have no color left to them. or maybe its just my pc lights

nice collection of shrooms,byeung!

Could be the lighting that the shrooms lose their color. Alot of LFS use alot of Blue lights to get the colors out, hard to sell brown corals. What are the colors of your lights?

Looks good, always nice to see another Biocube.Do you just run the stock biocube lighting? Do you know what kind of crab it is?

 

[subielover]

Looks like a good start. I would ditch the purple up though.

 

[byeung]

i have been running the stock lights and my actnic went out today so i didnt take any pictures. I ordered a 50/50 an actnic and 10k bulb from nano tuners gonna try and bring out the blue

Sounds like you need a trap for the crab.
