Ask anyone who has been to my house.. trust me Russ you and me both live in some sort of crazy boonies. For LI living... noone wants to come here, it is pretty much the middle of nowhere for LI. haha!!

Hey speaking of up your way... what ever happened with that up your way swap thingy... I failed to see a decision on a date. ~~oopsie that's probably us hijacking this guys thread Sorry. I'll refrain from typing anymore. Going to do a search.

Very Nice, You Ever Decide To Frag The Zoa's In Pic 3 Lmk I Lost My Colony Of Them

 

[merfin70]

Thanks all and feel free to hijack. Its part of the fun and it clues me in to what's going on here. I'm not sure if I can multi-quote on this board (at least I can't figure out how to do it) so I'll just answer in one big blob withour references.

The tank is about 9 months old now. Of course it didn't always look that clean but I've been experimenting with Vitamin C dosing to help on some micro algae issues. Except for some nasty Caulerpa that refused to die, I'm pretty much algae free. The downside is that my SPS have faded a bit so I'm trying to perk them back up with Aminos and a bit heavier feeding than I would normally have done in the past.

I know, stability = success but I find that playing around with different routines is part of what makes this hobby fun for me. Hopefully I don't get too carried away. So far so good as I've not lost much livestock to date. My one casualty was some nice Purple Hornets that melted before I started V-C dosing. Now they're too expensive to try again. I got mine months ago before they became all the rage.

I'll be happy to frag my rose nebulas once they grow out a bit. They are definately on the slow grow side for me but all of the nice ones seem to be that way.

Ive Got A Few That Wont Grow For Me, And Its Always The Super Nice One's, Definately Might Have A Few Ya Dont Have Once They Grow Out To Trade Ya. Looks Good Though

 

[Arati]

Great tank! Love the big palys, are they Mohoawks?

 

[laling]

looks great ,,, very nice ..welcome

 

[merfin70]

I'm not good on zoa naming but I don't think they are Mohawks though I couldn't say what they are. I think some on the pictures are Green Bay Packers, LOTR, Rose Nebulas, NG & PD. The rest I've just acquired from various sources without names.

Hi Welcome Beautiful Tank Yippeeee for another Long Islander

 

[merfin70]

Yea, I wondered where everyone was hiding. I poked around a bit at LIRA but didn't find many folks chatting there. I found everyone now I guess.
