Some eye candy from tonight

[clkwrk]

First is a few progression shots of one of my first Aquacultured aros. I got it as a very nice baby blue with cream body acro . I browned it out and kept it alive for sometime knowing one day I could get that blue once again .Which I finally have after a year+ of fine tunning my tank and husbandry . Out of all the acros this one trully has been an accomplishment that I am very happy to have finally done it .

When I first got it .

what is the coral in the last pic?

[clkwrk]

Ha ha wouldn't you liek to know :D SO would I :D It's a hard one because its still small.

BTW I was surprised you didn't even give my old 120 a chance before reselling it . I prolly would have bought it back .

[MattD004]

I actually have a colony of that, and just haven't been able to find out the info. Its getting a tabling formation.

Man, you don't know how hard it was for me to let go of that tank. I was actually considering keeping it in storage while I went med school out of state. I'd like to buy it back now that I got in here, but I doubt he'd sell it back to me.

[clkwrk]

Did you take a frag into any local stores? Chris at reef madness says a soli .

Shame on the tank . However the new owner is very happy , He did mention that you had to move out of state then you didn't have to . :(

[MattD004]

I wouldn't have guessed a soli.
Guess I'm just going to have to wait till you outgrow your 180 :)

[trueblackpercula]

nice.............

[cidory]

Tank is getting better and better , very nice

[poknsnok]

nice wrasses. ever have any trouble with them jumping?

[Justin/TiV]

very nice...like your millies

[CeeGee]

looks great.

[Ti]

awesome stuff!

[clkwrk]

trueblackpercula- Thanks :D

cidory- Thank you it is getting there now if all my lil gems would grow to fill it in I would be happier .

poknsnok- Thanks! I love wrasses they are my workhorses always searching for stuff to feast on . The have helped out tons during both my monti eating nudi attack and AEFW plague. So far I have only had one jumper and it must have been spooked to do so as it was around for a year plus. I also plan on adding another 6-10 lubbucks wrasses to go with the 5 I already have they are the small ones that only get to 3 inches max :D


Justin/TiV- Thanks! I have a soft spot for milles.


CeeGee- Thank you !

Ti- Thanks!

[CeeGee]

nope thank you for sharing.

IN THE SECOND SET OF PICTURES WHAT IS THAT YELLOEW WITH BLUE PYLOPS? IF SO I NNED SOME :)

[clkwrk]

It's a tort I believe. It already has a name "Lemon Merangue tort" it was a single unknown frag in a shipment of ORA stuff however despite all attempts no one with ORA recalls it at all even the MI facility.

First frag will becoming from Tropical Oasis in the near future as I have given 1 frag to Frank. Last I heard it is growing well . I on the other hand will not be fragging mine until it is colony size 6-8 inches.

Great job getting the color back. I have an AC stag that I'm trying to get back to it's original color. It's one of the few pieces I've got that has not made a relatively quick turn-around. Every now and then I think about throwing in the towel on him and replacing it with something else. I guess I'll give it more time seeing as how that one took you a full year.

[ghever]

clkwrk...do you still use the 50mg/hr sander for your ozone and only dose 25mg/hr constantly? I will have same size system as yours and everyone says to get the 100, but if 50 is working for you I thought maybe I should give it a try too.

Thanks if you know what color it can go back to IMO thats worth it alone . I knew someday I would get the baby blue back it was just a matter of time . It also gave me something to strive for.
