Hemmdog’s 90gal Seaciety and 40gal Vale of Shadows

[Hemmdog]

Holy cow.. 42 pages! I last looked in just a few weeks ago.. lol.

Glad you found your wrasse and had a smooth transition to the 40B. Beautiful setup btw. I thought the pre-colored pipe was superfluous when I set up my system, but have to admit, it really looks great!
I'm gonna go home, break out the good book. Somewhere in Exodus it talks about not coveting.. lol.

I noticed your dragon soul favia some pages back. Did you start that as a single polyp? I have a single. He eats like a pig and is nice and fleshy, but I can't even figure out how it grows.. like what even to look for to see if it is.

This is what I meant by the dragon soul looks to be splitting its biggest mouth.

No, they are anemones. The will attach themselves. Some people probably glue them, but I would not.

Yep, they will just secrete gelatinous defense slime and seperate.

P.S. Nice to see ur name popping up around again Brian.

My zoa barnacle is really taking off!

Looks great! Don't you wish the high end zoas like that utter chaos reproduced as fast as the 'normal' zoas? One of my first basic zoas has a new baby almost every 2 weeks while my wammin' watermelon has only had 2 in the last 3 months.

Oh I know! My mid to high end zoas started as single polyps, most have 4-6 heads now after almost a year. My no names have like 30+ heads.. haha.

Thanks man! Lots of memories were made. It was such a nice time, it just went to fast haha

Take me back..

I also grew quite fond of the koi pond. I think I want one, lol.

We have a koi pond for years they are so relaxing while sitting out back or by the pool!!

 

[tdlawdo]

Pics or it didn't happen... lol.

My koi pond I built and dug out one day after quitting a job at the hospital and had the day off and just enough anger to dig a hole!! Now we have babies!!

Wow, that is so awesome. If you ever get fired or quit or what not, feel free to come to my house and help me build a sweet pond like that! haha.

Haha!! Not fired but I did a talk and walk resignation!! And I always have a shovel and can change my gym day to a dig day. If you are in a good weather locale we can talk!! Haha

Wow that’s impressive! Even moving the boulders to that spot is impressive! Haha

 

[Hemmdog]

My kryptonite mushroom getting even bigger! When will this thing make some babies!

 

[Hemmdog]

Placed an order to replace my actinic t5 bulbs with coral +. Also got a 360X controller, and a 300watt titanium finnex to replace my neotherm in my 90. I don’t want to be another neotherm explosion victim, 9 months was long enough rolling the dice.
Looking forward to this shipment!

My purple rim monti has been looking super happy as of late.

I forget what this coral is, but it needs to see the spotlight, it’s the most neglected coral in my tank, it’s hard to see due to being behind my controller stand. It is a cool one though. Super cheap little $10 frag awhile back, growing up to be something sweet.

And @crusso1993 will be happy to hear I officially sent @dantimdad his ora neon green birdsnest frags! I am a man of my word.

Yes I added a bunch of bubble wrap after the pic was taken lol.

That was more fun than the jack hammer to cut through the asphalt and concrete driveway. That building use to be the garage and I turned it into a finished schoolhouse for the kids.

Looking forward to those frags!

I am going Saturday morning to adopt a couple clowns and pickup a mini colony of JF Star Gazers as well. The clowns will go in the frag tank for observation for a month.

Wow! Well done! How’d you become this master jack of all trades? I like to consider myself a journeymen jack of all trades, but you’re a whole other level.
