I'm telling ya... the people on this forum are bar none. Always a good laugh when I come to catch up. Thanks fellas!

Last night went smoothly, until the Captain Morgan came out. Luckily the dendros were done already!

 

[RichtheReefer21]

I have learned that if u do not frag these dendros early enough they grow against each other and it dang near impossible to seperate them without severe flesh damage etc. The risk is not worth the reward ever. So fragging them while they are in their juvenile stage is really the only manner I'm willing to do it.

But I made out pretty well.

Annoyed I couldnt do the frag that has 3 teenager polyps. They were the prime candidates for the reefsquad giveaway winners. You can see it in the "rinse water" container in the video.

I Will update more in a few days and see how things look. Here's a video of me first time fragging on a saw.

Oh, the test stuff was hanging out drying on towels in the dining room. And I found this when I woke up. She made it with a labeling machine while she was at work yesterday. I got lucky with her. Shes a gem.

Nah, it's been in my friends tank for 2 weeks or so. I waited too long to let him take it. Its over.

Yea... they are finicky coral. Could have been wild caught as well, and just hated my parameters and lighting. Who knows... wont get another one until the dream build.

2nd RBTA has started coming out more, and I keep sliding the Bonsai away from its position. I am preparing to glue the sps, just wanted to check positioning for a week or two first before nailing them down.

Placed an order on amazon and BRS.

24ft of doser tubing
2 lbs kalkwasser
And a red sea calcium regeant
Amazon was for a 20g container that will fit hidden behind my sectional next to the DT.

I've decided to pull the rodi Resivoir from the sump all together, and build a dosing station in its place. Looking forward to having a new project to attack on the tank. Just been doing husbandry and wc's for 7 months. Its time.

Plus I start the new job Monday. Need to get things moving on it while I can.

Forgot the rbta pic. ;Eggonface
