Another nice pair:p

:lol: I didn't expect you to go IDing your shrimp, but thanks! Either way, hope they work out... and I just noticed that pic of the chalice frag... WOW! I need a chalice frag :wink:

:lol:

I'm glad I did but now I need to try and find the other anemone shrimp as I didn't see them on wetwebmedia.
I found out it's most likely an acan even though it looks more like a chalice and from what I understand this one is very expensive in the USA.

Not a happy reefer here.......I'm loosing yet another sps :cry: I have no idea why all of a sudden I'm loosing things. I've lost a few frags(including one that cost me $50 :mad:) and now a 2nd colony is affected. I'm almost considering selling what's left so that maybe they don't perish in my tank.

Have you been losing mostly SPS? Or have other corals also taken a downturn?

You may be able to save the affected sps by crazy gluing the edge between the living and dead tissue....its worked for me a couple times.

Just my sps. I hope it stops. Could it be the recent outbreak of HA?

Thanks Doug, I'll try that.

You could also try heavily fragging the affected pieces. I tried the glue trick during an RTN/STN event and it didn't work, then I started fragging like mad and managed to save some. Best of luck.

Yeah, I already tried fragging like crazy well above the affected area and it didn't work.

I added a Black Spiny Rock Urchin today to try and help with the algae problem. Thanks again Blue World Aquatics :biggrin: http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/DSC_0055.jpg

I also picked up some nice pieces of dry rock today which will be for a new cube I got for a smoking deal, thanks intarsiabox :mrgreen:
http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/DSC_0056.jpg
The new cube is 24" x 24" x 20" and isn't drilled so I was thinking I might try turning it into an AIO. If anyone has any suggestions on how to set up the AIO compartments please feel free to advise :)

lookin good. hows that frogfish doin for ya?

He's good, eating frozen mysis & silversides. The new tank is intended for him.

So the death has seemed to finally stop but not until it took some nice (and not cheap) frags. I added another urchin because the spiny rock urchin isn't doing much of anything. The new one is a blue tuxedo and I can see some areas he's munched on so hopefully he does a better job.

I have some new zoa's & paly's coming. Can't wait to see them and I :pray: they all arrive okay.

Purple Heart Zoa
Devil's Armor Paly
Emerald's On Fire Zoa
Silver Rose Zoa
Magian Paly
:woot:

I've found that Tuxedo's and Black Long Spine urchins to a good job chomping down the algae.. can't wait to see the new tank! :mrgreen:

I hope they do a good job. My spiny one isn't a long spine though.

:puppydog: One of my clowns committed suicide during the night.

sorry to hear that Dawn:sad:

Thanks Jason. Now I need to find my lonely clown a buddy but I'm afraid someone will jump again. I'm going to move the clowns to the new tank once it's ready and it'll be covered.

Sorry to hear about your clown :(

So I received everything today but there was a mishap. I've never had corals shipped to my home before so I guess Fedex doesn't do overnight to my place. The package was handed off to a third party(canada post) and took 2 days to come. I was pretty anxious & nervous about what I'd find once they arrived. To my relief they're all okay. The only death was a freebie sps and there's possibly one other sps death. Pics to come soon.

I'm so upset. I just went to feed the fishy's and wouldn't you know it, the other clown committed suicide :rip: :cry: He was there before I left this morning so it happened while I was out shopping. No more clowns until the new tank is finished!

Aw.....Im sorry Dawn:sad:

That sucks, sorry to hear :sad:

BTW I love the look of the tank and all the nice zoos. Also your frog fish is super cool, makes me want to set up a tank for one.

Thanks Doug, Thanks Laurie. I haven't told my husband yet that the 2nd is a goner.......they were his fish.

I have a ton of zoa's. I just did a count and if I didn't miss anything I have 49 different zoa's/paly's(with more coming). No, I'm not addicted to them at all :eek: They're all in my sump though because I want to do some rearranging since loosing so many sps. As soon as I do that I'll get a new fts.

Received some more awesome new zoa's today........yes more :lol: What can I say, I'm addicted:grab:. The ones received today are all deep water. I also have 2 new cyphastrea frags. Thanks Burc & Blue World Aquatics. Pics soon.

I just had to share a pic of my beautiful new ORA Picasso Clownfish from Blue World Aquatics. They're so beautiful :love:.............and yes, my tank is covered now.
http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/t...x/DSC_0242.jpg

Oooh they're beautiful!

Awesome!

I picked up the ORA false percs today as well!:redface: I picked out 2 of the Picasso's but I think they were a little to small to hang with my frogfish and just to risky!

Those are some nice percs and if I remember right did Ken say they were a proven pair? I'm wondering what I'm going to do with my little froggy. The new tank was going to be for him but it'll kill me to have just a frog tank and now I reeeaaally want to have one cube for the picasso's and one for the blacks soooooooo Mr. frog might need to find a new home.

I'm glag you both are happy with the fish, alsways good to know they are going to a good home.
