Turtle's Fairy Tale

[Katrina71]

I love seeing changes like that. I just got a purple plating, photosynthetic sponge that has changed drastically in 2 weeks. It was a rescue. Seems super happy in my dirty little tank.

It's always that dirty Englishman's fault. ;Woot

But seriously, Brew... ;Drool;Drool;Drool. Nice piece. I can't wait for it to open all the way.

Don't make me swim over there (I don't do planes) young man to put my arm in your tank and prod your trachy out of spite!? :P

 

[Katrina71]

@najer please do! I'll show you what we colonists call biscuits. Muffin tops will get confusing though.

Mmm I could go for some biscuits and sausage gravy.

@najer Really???! When those go missing, don't look in my tank.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

I need to get some more rastas.

I need to get some more rastas.

Me too. It's the only ones I lost in the crash.

Lost mine when the H2O2 reacted with the metals in my last tank. Whammin watermelon was only survivor. Lost some blue hornets too.

You can come take any of my zoas you want. I'll share.

I was stocked up with several zoas a few weeks ago. Had to help a friend figure out why her tank was bleaching and she hooked me up with some zoas a ricordia and even a few sps.

Now there are still a few zoas that I'd like to collect. Darth Mauls, Yodas, utter chaos, blue hornets, rastas, nirvanas... ok more than a few, the list goes on and on.

Update!!!

It's been a little while. The tank is still doing well. Getting parameters dialed in now that I have the BRS pharma chemicals. Pretty sure I have alk all set, just getting Ca and Mg up to where they need to be.

The two rocks that were in the holding tank with the fish continue to grow GHA. I'll be ordering a big cuc hopefully soon. They should knock out that algae and the chaeto can grow instead of the hair algae. The rest of the tank remains algae free.

We also purchased a few corals in the Joe Knows Reefs live sale on Saturday. My friend and I split shipping, so I have her corals in my tank until I go over next time to swap out sumps. She got a Trigger ruby to replace the factory SCA sump. More room in the stand and hopefully be able to remove the skimmer. Going to be fun draining a running 150, removing center supports and swapping a sump out.

New corals, mine first!!!

Nice quality on those pics! You didn't take them with your phone, did you?

Sure did.

Impressive!

Have you been happy with Joe Knows Reefs?

Beyond.

Super healthy corals, pest free and good prices... not to mention Joey is a great guy and a pleasure to do business with. Oh, candy in the box is a bonus too. Lol.

Hmm.. I may have to give him a try, although he looks a bit tapped out after the live sale.

To be honest, his website is a bit understocked... way more in store. You can always call and see what is in stock. I just message on Facebook.

He also has weekly auctions(unless there is a big show or holding a live sale that week) on Facebook that are posted on Wednesday afternoon and close at different times Friday night. Usually 20-30 corals up for grabs every week.
