im proof you dont need money to have a nice tank , dude im poor as they get lol all my pics are from a scratched up cell phone, tank and equipment are fairly basic and as for corals thats easy you buy one nice piece break it in half and trade for another nice piece , keep repeating the last step untill you have lots of tradables , as they grow the circle continues:) my bonsai tree corals are mostly trades as alot of this stuff you cant find in a lfs on the best of days:) thanks :) |
after an awesome trip to red coral yesterday of course steve hit me in my weak spot and i came home with more goodies lol
from concept: small squamosa clam some sps frags(i have no idea what they are lol but they look nice) edmonton and RCE: large blueberry gorg (thanks jason) orange suncoral colonie (thanks johan) spiral gorg, purple 8-10"(thanks steve) captain america frag( thats 2 types i have now after i convince levi to cut me one of his i will have 3 variations of captain america palys:) pics to come later:) |

well im a bit mad now i lost my favorite sps the hulk acro(sorry greg!!)
not sure what happened , went to e town yesterday and it was fine yesterday morning... came home last night and in 12ish hours it rtn'd completely:( i cant even get another as the person i got it off also lost it , im not sure if its the species or if it was me , ive made some changes that resulted in some coral loss over the past few days. a few days ago i increased the amount of gfo by a fair bit, my girlfriend also changed out 100% of the water(display tank only) as feeding phyto is changing the color of the water and the current sg is 1.018 so a fair bit low, on top of that my heater cut out last night and i forgot to change my return nozzle back to its origional place after cleaning the tank out and the result is alot less flow as most my flow comes from the return pump.i also took down the growtank so the whole system now loses 50g of water volume so all this hit harder then it normally would. i also had some high phosphates as i was lazy changing the gfo out this month, it was 0.64 on the hanna i got it down to 0.43 now after some new gfo. lost a few collector zoos, bleached my chalices and australomussa, black suncoral is almost toast, blueberrys didnt open for the past 2 days, algae bloom and lost my cleaner shrimp. 2 sps died and my other gorgs were pretty ****ed,also lost my branching red cyph. anyways the system is fine and off rolling again overall the casualties werent many its just i hate losing coral. now with that said i have cool news , im going to be chaging the tank a bit .....not the design but the actual new tank itself. i am having a custom made tank built to house the bonsai and dave from concept aquatics just designed a really cool tank design that gave me an awesome idea for my new tank....ill share more soon about that:) added some new corals: another blueberry gorg another yellow sun colonie bee stinger monti misc zoos/palys squamosa clam(probably for my copperband lol ) spiral gorg poker star monti birds of paradise |
sorry to hear of your losses tho i doubt the untrained eye would even notice in that tank it's so packed.

Man sh:ts just not going good for you.

tonight my copperband started picking at the squamosa i put in for him, no damage to the clam so we will see how long it lasts, the clam doesnt seem to mind yet.

Hopefully the CB learns his place but if he doesn't you know where to send him :wink:

wow can a little bit of gfo be powerfull lol i doubled my dose which was a bit harsh on the tank but my phos was at 0.64 by the hanna chacker, i just checked it again today since i replaced the gfo last week and we are at 0.10 and big time drop lol reactor output still reads close to zero:)
also today i decided im going to run pellets on my bonsai tank, nitrates are getting high and water changes cant keep up with it even at 100% water changes . today i picked up a vertex reactor and some pellets and will start to run them and see if they can handle the continuous feedings:) other than that the tank is spotless clean, water is cleared up and corals look great. ive changed some of my foods to incorporate some of the zeo products, coral vit ,amino acids and coral snow as the main ones:) seems my blue berry gorg is very responsive to both the coral snow and the coral smoothie:) cheers gang!! |

Pretty sure Denny transfered most of the stock back to his personal system because of tank difficulties. Them zoas might not be open yet Greg, I will ask him tonight when I see him.

not too much happening lately where im moving in fact the tank needs a good cleaning lol however there is news , so ive decided once we are settled in the new house my girlfriend is taking over the bonsai tree, she is getting everything i had put aside for the new build and i will start a new tank in the spring or when ever for myself. with that said i am passing on the sps corals to a friend and she will be left with the rest minus the fish when mines ready. this way it will be easy for her to take care of as its alot to handle as it is, even though she knows how to do it anyways, she will keep most of the nps corals but the harder to keep species will go as well. in the spring i am going to do a matching cube but this is going to be the opposite of what the bonsai system is , the other cube will be ulns and sps dominant. the plans is to have both cubes in each corner of a room, one a high nutrient system and the other a ultra low niutrient system, should be fun;) i do also have some pics ill post:) cheers |
