Puff's Aquapod Update

Here's an update on my tank. Things (seem) to be going good. i recovered my fighting conch who went missing for well over a month. spent 2 hours digging in the back overflow with a pair of chopsticks.lol

new alien eye chalice frag (thanks GMGQ)

I see a dead lps in one of the pics, did you have any luck keeping lps in that tank? Or do they die?

Pretty pic's. What type of camera do you use?:biggrin:

yeah...that was the one that didnt make it :( i was so choked. ive had great luck keeping LPS in my tank. one day i was at Seahorse_Fanatic's place, and he had this amazing frag of blue frogspawn. i bought it off of him, but unfortunately it did not adapt well at all from my tank. and died within 12 hours. ive kept the skeleton there hoping (with not a lot of hope.lol) that it would somehow recover, as i was told by a few LPS keepers that they have had frogspawn recover from worse...but if you ask me it looks pretty dead...dont think anything will be growing out of that...except algae. it was a beautiful piece though...those were sad times in Puff's tank.lol

i use a Canon S3IS. takes amazing pictures. got it for like 220$ in New York last april. i just discovered the "super macro" setting 2 weeks ago...hahahha

Tank looks great.

Next time I have a frogspawn frag, I'll let you know. Too bad that one went kaplooee like that. It had been doing great in the frag tank for 3+ months already.

Oh well, at least the rest of the frags all look great.

Anthony

yeah it was really strange anthony. it was so beautiful. i acclimated the same way i normally acclimate LPS and SPS, but it just did not agree with my tank for some reason. i think it might have got bumped during transit (those potholes on canada way are getting bad!) or something. either way, it's a shame, but i blame myself, as there is nothing else to blame.lol

but yeah...if you get any cool new frogspawn frags let me know :) i always have an extra 15-20 for frogspawn!
