Thanks very much. It's all just matter of time. I bet your tank is looking pretty nice too. :)

I use cribsea special grade.

Small update for the tank. After a long hard month of battling to stabilize the tank things are finally turning around. I did lose a few colonies but even through all the parameter and temperature swings most of the sps has retained its color except for of course ssc, fireice echinata. Oh well. it is what it is. As per usual, this thread is picture heavy.

I can not tell that there is anything wrong with your tank, or that anything happened! It still looks stellar man! Keep on keepin' on :-)

i'd just love to pull a few of those gorgeous colonies out and be done growing my tank lol. glad to hear things are back-on-track. you're off-track is my idea of perfection already!

Thanks man! I really appreciated.
Colonies probably not but frags is a definite. If you ever make the trip down just bring your cutters. :wink:

I just put my cutters into the mail =)

Sweet looking tank

Rich, it looks great. Ya i agree, if you didn't say anything we would have never known. Can't wait for that SSC to smarten up, will u be coming over on sunday the 5th, to brads for the frag swap?

Side note: your wrasse collection looks awesome, which ones do u have?

Thanks.

Yes I will be coming out this Sunday. Kinda made a mistake on my days off but what ever. :neutral:

So here is my wrasse collection so far, lineatus, flame, labouti(in the overflow atm), yellow coris, yellow flank, nahacky, rhomboid, red tail tamarin, black tail tamarin, scotts, red margin and others. I also had a whole bunch that committed suicide. I still have a few on the hit list like the hooded. One thing that's odd is I tried to pair up all the wrasses but even though they come in as a pair, the female would still turn male shortly after its introduction. I think I might have too much testosterone in the tank.

maybe if you get a whole bunch of female high end wrasse and sell them when they turn into male, you might make some good money.

R&L Aquatics, your one stop destination for high end super male wrasse.
