The Miracle Tank

[najer]

I just reserved it over the phone, when I went in yesterday it came straight to the glass and flirted with me, I have to have her.
They are going to check with the manager (my mate) but they don't see why it can't go in the frag tank.
I said put a sold label on the frag tank she is currently in, I will set a tank up if I need to to hold her for a while! ;)

If I can't make eye to eye contact with a fish, even if it takes a few visits I won't buy them.
They reserve things for me quite often fish wise, after she came over yesterday I had to have her, she is special to me. :)

The frags are in and not even noon (another on-time delivery).

Let's see of I can get these correct, from left to right:
Burning Banana Stylo, Bonsai, Blue Tip Tri-Color, Sanjay's Leprechaun Beard, Anthony Pink Granulosa and Awesome Favites.

I moved the back rack to get more lights and I am pretty close to start placing the frags on the rocks. The lastest plan is to put the zoas and palys on the vertical rock on the left with the nem (out of view is the clown clutch in the left corner behind the rock) and put the sps and lps on the right side rock work.

I think that is enough corals for some time now, Let's see of the tank has recovered sufficiently to support sps.

The birds nest is still hanging in there after the polyp shedding. It has about 40% polyp coverage right now. I'm just going to leave it be as see if it can eventually recover.

I'm more shallow than you. If they are pretty, I am ok with them only being interested in me for paying the rent and buying them dinner.

So basically you flash the cash and say "you up for it?" ;)

This is going to be interesting. An astraea is moving in on the clutch

Not the snails day. I pulled it off the frag rack before it wandered over to the clowns.

Just a thought, do you check what sex they are or just go for it?

So since this post is trending and I need some think tank-ers. I have a question.
I use a lot of home ingredients for things around the house. DIY all purpose cleaner, DIY laundry detergent, DIY plant food.

Im curious if you all think it would be okay for me to crush up some egg shells and throw them in my sump for a slow steady release for calcium?

I know it has the potential to raise pH so thats my biggest concern is that I cannot monitor leaching.


For alkalinity i just use good ole arm and hammer baking soda

Anyone in contact with @PanchoG , I am starting to worry?
