New pictures!

[Poseidon]

K, being that I am home from work today, I figured I would take a few new pictures:
Full tank from Today:

Purple rimmed green cap from Zhenya:

My blue tort:

Blue Polyped monti:

This is a really simple mod to a Tunze, it seemed to help a LOT:


I took almost 70 pictues, so I have more to go thru now!

[Reefland]

Did it help with the overall flow of the pump or just reduce the cleanings?

[Poseidon]

I think a little of both Scott. It sure doesn't clog as fast now, and it SEEMS to move more water. I don't have a way to really judge, other then by feel though.

Well what the heck, things are looking good Mike. Did my stuff make it in there???

[Poseidon]

Hey Charlie, yes and no...

I lost both frags of A. Nana, and the A. Tenuis all 3 died within days of each other, just out of the blue...

I still have them in there, as they still have some polyps, but I am not very optomistic for their recovery. Of the pieces that did make it this far, they are doing VERY well!

[charlie]

So sorry to hear about the ones that didn't make it Mike. I will say one thing tho, the ones that did really look good, especially the mille's.

[Reefland]

At least you can have coral in your tank. We can barely stand in the house with the smell of our fresh liverock.

[zhenya]

Great stuff, Mike!
I lost both television and internet yesterday afternoon.., some wicked storm blew in and wrecked havoc... so I missed all of this.
Tank looks really nice, Mike, but I see in some of the shots the same "turf" looking algae I had once in my tank.

[Poseidon]

Thanks Gene, yes I do have that mysterious turf algae, it came out of nowhere. The good news is my long spine Urchin, that had been living in the sump, really likes to eat that stuff!

[zhenya]

Mike, if it means anything, mine went away after a while. Both turbo snails and bristle toothed tang ate some but mainly it just disappeared exactly the same way it appeared.., mysteriously.

[Reefland]

We have a bit of turf algae growing on our new rock but that's ok, it's got about 8 weeks to go away on it's own.

[Poseidon]

Well, time to update this thread I guess! These are a few images from the last couple of days,
in no particular order. Charlie, you may recognize a few of these pieces....

[Poseidon]

More....

[charlie]

Nice stuff Mike, I do seem to have a recollection of a couple of them. Make sure you keep them growing, I may need your assistance in the future here!!

[Poseidon]

I can't STOP.....










FWIW, Purple Bonsai will KILL Superman Monti.... That bare spot is MY FAULT!

[Reefland]

Excellent pictures Mike! That cap frag looks great, are the polyps purple?
