ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

[tbrown]

Gonis, torches, sps of any kind are not their coral. Your likely victims would be acans, trachy, blasto, cynarina, acanthophyllia. But, likely not to happen. They will eat worms. Younger cbb will eat pods, worms and maybe aips hiding in rocks.

Ohhhh... Not the HG Acans.

 

[Goaway]

Ohhhh... Not the HG Acans.

That could be an issue. Again, maybe.

Final layer, white, hope this turns out well

Man, it's crazy what a little nudge will do. They offered to reship and waive the box and shipping fees. I just don't know if I should. If I order today before midnight it ships tomorrow and I work from home Thursday but the bags were cold - pretty sure the fish froze to death from the ice packs they added. Do I risk ordering more fish or take the partial refund and buy dry goods?

Tough call. I hate to risk livestock but I think I'd let them try again.

It's just going to get hotter but the water was cold. They put two ice packs in with bubble wrap which really doesn't insulate the bags, just protects them from significant jostling.

Done! Can't wait to get home to look at it.

Unless they're planning a big 'Going Out of Business' promotion I would think they would try a little harder this time around.

 

[stoney7713]

They had a few things I was wanting in the past but all the negative about shipping I have avoided it.

 

[tbrown]

Like I said, we've got this!

2 day black out with UV installed. Nothing new is dead. Tissue necrosis appears to have stopped. I'm hopeful we'll have some healing start. UV still running, MB7 and Nitrifying Bacteria still being dosed, filter floss still hanging in tank. I'll give it a week or so like this and if everything looks good I'll move the UV to the sump and remove the filter floss.

Still running carbon, but I'm going to replace it this evening.

 

[stoney7713]

Looks good

Lost the smaller Green Goblin Anacropora - it never really thrived anyway.

Several Birdsnest frags are white... Lots of flesh still attached to the bigger frags.

Birdsnest colony has a couple of tips and small sections on branches that are white but the majority of the colony is good.

Lost a couple of small "accidental" Bubblegum Digitata frags

Main Bubblegum Digitata is still kicking but lost a tip.

Don't be sad! Minimal losses and recovery is imminent! We're doing great! My tank is just trying to make room for more coral.

I just had my 24k torch go poof over night. No clue why, it just bailed. Everything else is doing good.

I just hate random losses.

Unfortunately mine aren't random. This was due almost entirely to not moving the doser over. Phosphates bottomed out while I was gone. Shortly before my return dinos took hold.

I haven't checked things in awhile, doing that tonight. Been so busy with the kids this summer break I haven't tested in 3 weeks. Things have been stable for a long time though.

Just been doing regular maintenance, filter, skimmer, and a 10% water change occasionally.

OMG I love this. I’ve been collecting dragons / wizards off and on for years

My brother and I were just talking about DnD and stuff. Told him I could print some cool scenes and backdrops, houses, castles, figures, etc.

Plop that down and say a Zombie Dragon just appeared! What do you do! "Poop my pants and go home!"

Hope you have a high level cleric in the party for starters….

Goni status?

Goni status?

Pretty sure it is gone. Two polyps left.
