IM NOT A FRAG VIRGIN ANYMORE!!!!
I fragged all 3 of my rics. We shall see how it goes. My green ric with blue skirt and my yellowey green ric with pink mouth were just cut between mouths (in half) and my blue ric I ended up cutting between two mouths and cutting one half of it off the rubble it was on and put that piece on a piece of rubble. Im hoping it attaches. Time will tell. They actually look really good thus far. I changed my dosing a bit to see how this goes. I am now putting my fertilizers and additives into the top off water containers. I need to top off every 3 days, about 1 gal a week now so putting the powder additves into my TO water makes things much much easier. Im putting in calcium and alk (baking soda) in the TO storage bottles. I havent added KNO3 or KH2PO4 in the bottles yet. However with the extra lights, daily feedings for both the fish and corals I am noticing a big difference. My red dragons tongue is comming back to life. the plants closest to the light (3 inches away) are RED with orange tips again. Stunning. The ones farthest away from the light are still just pink but are starting to colour up. I pulled most of the grape calpura to make room for new macros and to help reguvinate the calpura. Im picking up a few more corals (mostly mushies). Im also trying to find some more macro. Im on a waitlist at JLA and Im in contact with a few other people but nothing is solid yet. I would really like to find some purple gorgs or other somewhat colourful or nicely shaped photosynthetic gorgs to put in my tank. I have an awsome spot for them. Im also looking at sun corals again. Some people feed them with only coral frenzy and they fair very well, although im thinking that coral frenzy and reef roids are too small. I may abandon this idea. I moved some of my coral around because some didnt like the bright light and are now much happier at the bottom of my tank. Kinda funny how some light requirements are totally backwards for some of the inhabitants in my tank. We shall see how things go over the next couple of weeks with the new changes.

I never knew how much builds up and inside powerheads until today. I decided to pick the macro algae out of one of my koralia's and I noticed some bubble algae inside it so; I took the whole thing apart and noticed it was FULL of bubble algae. It would come off easily so I dipped the entire powerhead in vinegar for 30min and the stuff came off very easily. Pretty much melted. Now im doing the other powerhead. The flow increased tremendously. My macros will love it.
Note to self: clean powerheads yearly at least.

I went to feed the fish today with my son because he loves watching them swim around to eat Well, the tank seemed kinda empty. I was looking for my fav fish and I found it... floating in the corner by the heater.
 Bye bye my coral beauty. I wish I knew why you died. It was so fast and you seemed perfect yesterday. I can only assume it was my fault. I MISS YOU!!!!

What they have posted are only examples of what they have in stock. It also says that you need to call or e-mail for availability. One day I just asked and Ive been in contact ever since. Im on their waitlist for rare macros
They have quite a large waitlist. and they sell out fast Give them a shout, they are a great team. And hey when my macro grows out I can ship some frags of it too YAY!Im still looking for some more macros. Im thinking I may just need to upgrade to a bigger tank soon. hehehehe Need to talk to hubby about that one

I know. I have posted a few times that I was looking for various macro algaes but no one replied so I had to purchase some from JLA. Im not complaining, im getting some nice stuff.
The only other way I recieved macro was through asking other reefers on here if they had any. I would buy from them or get some for free because they were just going in the garbage anyway.
