You name it more than not marv has it. :D All he needs is another tank.
I think marv should be the founding father of the I need no more corals club.
I have to join that club i am sick too, But it looks as marv has fallen off the wagon. I think a meeting is in order. I have to bowl tonight marv, But tomarrow will work. I have one of gflats frags for you anyways.

Remember marv, I only tease the people i like. :)

yeah.. I know bro.. thanks.. :D

I've been so busy at this j.o.b. thing that I get home around 9 pm bouncing from 2 jobs... I didn't want to bother you or Wayne for a visit coz I'm thinking it's too late... but I'm able to take off some stress when I take pics of some corals.. LoLz... the tank is much more refreshing than looking at the computer screen.. haha..

been trying to really streamline the corals I keep.. man, I still have a lot to do.. a local is suppose to pick up a frag pack and I plan on unloading a ton... ;)

 

[MarvinsReef]

Did you monitor you MG? I have about 20 years worth of homemade MG supplement. LMK if you want some of it. I'll send ya home with some premade.

yeah, I'm finally dosing some Mg... Jason helped me out a lot... I'm glad that the red algae problem is gone.. that was an eyesore..

[MarvinsReef]

How do you know all this stuff? You keeping records?

hehe.. yeah.. I try anyway.. I have a spreadsheet that tracks down my sales/trades/purchases... LoLz..

I don't really do a good job on it though.. it really needs some updating.. :)

 

[JGoslee]

Thats a good idea. I think I might start keeping track also.

 

[MarvinsReef]

Thats a good idea. I think I might start keeping track also.

Thank you Steve... :)

and yes, Fairy and Flasher wrasses are very peaceful community fishes.. the only times I saw them become a little territorial is when a newcomer is of the same shape or color or size is introduced from the existing inhabitants.. I've owned many F&F wrasses and the squabble mostly happen in the first couple of days and slowly dwindle... after a week or two, all of them are buds... maybe I've been lucky with the fishes I've gotten coz sometimes, I've heard others having terrible time mixing these guys but for me, it's been a good experience.. they are definitely my favorite fishes... :D

FWIW, I had a pair of Black Oscellaries clowns when I had the 75g up.. the clowns were housed with about 6-7 different F&F wrasses.. good luck and I hope this helped...

Thanks again..

Great shots Marvin! I really enjoy your POTD as well. I also like the spreadsheet idea. PM for a copy of the spreadsheet.

hey bro... Thanks... I'll send it to you in a few... Excel doesn't work good here at home...

 

[MarvinsReef]

in the meantime.. I played with my wife's camera last night and found a great setting to showcase the colors of the morphs much better IMO..

here's some samples... you guys think it's better than the blue photos?? LoLz..

I'm still having a little bit of trouble with overexposure (I think that's the term)... it's the lights reflecting the rock and corals... sorry, not photography words savvy.. LoLz..

Ya thats right Marvin. Are you shooting in RAW?
