Turtle's Fairy Tale

[SashimiTurtle]

Thats pretty funny, Wearing your so very truthful t-shirt too no less...Hope all's well brother!

Yea just been chilling really. Got my GHL hooked up finally, altho the wires are a mess right now.

Gave away the acros I got a few weeks ago. One RTNed and the others had started to turn brown. I'm just gonna focus on LPS and the easy SPS like birds nest stylo, montis ect...

I picked up a zebra urchin from the LFS yesterday. Hopefully it likes ulva... I still have ulva. Stuff is like trying to get rid of coraline.

The clowns laid eggs again. Haven't seen them spawn in a while, but seems like June is their month for spawning...

Does the zebra pick up frags like other urchins?

So far not at all. I did read they turn more carnivorous as they get larger, so....

Hey Turtle, how's the tank???

Well, long time no post... hmmm let's see where shall we start?

How about... here.

Yep, that's me and yet another really expensive hobby. I got into horseback riding with my mother in law in the last, oh about 6 months or so. Turns out, I'm a natural. That's my Tennessee Walker mare, Sugar Bear. Well one of them. This is the other one that is mine, her name is Sunny.

So, naturally my absence from the forum and spending almost all of my free time with the horses the tank... well, I'll let you see for yourself.

Yep, time for a reboot... everything is covered in algae and aiptasia. It would be too hard to clean it up in the state its in without bleaching or acid dipping the rocks. I tossed around just tearing the whole thing down and selling it, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Hopefully posting here will give me the encouragement I need to get it done.

I saved a 12y.o. horse from a trail riding operation locally go me about 10 years ago. Was an awesome experience.

We will keep bugging you and poking to assist with the undertaking of the reboot. :)

You living large buckaroo.
My tanks been on cruise sense summer too. I just grabbed a yt and foxface to help with algae.
BTW when is the other upgrade?......Ranch :p

Well, the Fairy Tail is shut down. Emptied it this weekend and moved it out. It was so far gone, every inch of exposed rock was covered in either bubble algae or aiptasia. Very few corals left to save... I just let the thing go last year.

Don't worry I have a "new" tank already set up and hopefully I'll be getting around to starting up a new build thread here soon. Sneak peak? Ok maybe a little...

Oh and yeah, new name, same old Turtle

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope this one brings you more success.

Turtle hows the horses.

Turtle hows the horses.

Still eating hay, I'm ready for spring to grow some grass. Weather is turning, flowers are blooming, horses are shedding, grass is still kinda dead. Sunny stepped on her reins the other day and promptly picked up her head, snapping her nice leather bridle... I'm sure she did it on purpose, she was refusing to take the bit just before she did it. She still had to work in the arena tho, she needs the muscle and lung exercise.

Pst, hey...

Build Thread - Turtle's Sushi Tank

Hi, I'm Turtle and I love sushi. I also love reef tanks, so what better to do than to combine the two and fill a reef tank full of sushi! I know what you're thinking, "If you fill your tank with sushi the fish won't be able to swim." Well, you're right and that would be a waste of good sushi...

Turtle hows the horses.

Demanding attention... this is Sugar Bear, TWHBEA registered name Immortal's Baby Girl. She is a rescue from a too small enclosure with too many other horses with way too little food. She was one of the more dominant so she was in better condition than most... She's been with my mother in law for probably 2 or 3 years and she's been my horse since September. She is very well cared for now, but only really trusts two people... I think you can guess which two.

Today, after feeding, she refused to leave her stall(only available during feeding time) and pretended to eat dirt until I went in there and loved on her for 15 minutes. Needless to say, she's missed me since I've ridden my other mare the last two times.
