Reefmack's RSM 130 - Page 7

The new Ric florida hasn't opened up fully yet (only a day old), but I'll grab a pic when it does. The yumas aren't new, and should be visible on the right side of my rock in previous tank shots, but I'll grab some pics of those too. After the recent Zoa extinction I'm not too happy with the way the tank looks lately. Too many bare spots and not enough coral money justified with early retirement less than 2 months away LOL! Between a coral and invert delivery Tuesday (mostly for my new 6G tank), and a fish delivery last night, I've spent too much this week!

Terry Racoons will go after meated LPS also I have used them for aptasia control before and they loved brain type corals.

Reefmack · 07-09-2009, 09:11 AM

Dave - yep, I know the risk with a Raccoon, or the Copperband & other butterflies. I'm typically not one to take risks, but at times I do.

mbdave · 07-10-2009, 09:10 AM

You know I have never had a problem with a copperband, now tha I said that the next one will eatmy tank

Reefmack · 07-14-2009, 08:04 AM

Believe it or not I haven't taken a pic yet! I did shoot a video late last night under the actinics and hope to at least post that this evening.

Reefmack · 07-14-2009, 01:49 PM

Remember - all that is associated with reef tanks requires patience!

Well, I'm not too happy with the videos my wife's tiny cam takes, and the colors are really off, but here they are.

Last night under the actinics

Under full lighting:

No comments allowed on being overstocked - I have been for 2 years LOL!

echopiece · 07-14-2009, 10:16 PM

Looks great! Did you cut back that plate coral yet? I am tempted to get a green one. I just dont want to be constantly cutting it back lol.

Sapphire · 07-14-2009, 11:59 PM

I'm in the same boat echpiece - I've got my eye on a nice red one but I don't really have the room for it to grow!!!

Nce flame angel Reefmack - I miss mine (we got rid of it as I was concerned about it being direct competition for pods with the mandarin). Will definitely get one for my upgrade tank though!

Mavjoy · 07-15-2009, 01:32 AM

Cool videos RM.

dmyers557 · 07-15-2009, 02:10 AM

Tank looks great. Nice placement on that idaho grape. Hahahahahaha

Reefmack · 07-15-2009, 08:21 AM

Thanks folks.

echopiece - I broke off a lot of that big orange Monti Cap a few weeks ago, the edges healed quickly, and a lot of it has already grown back! It is easy to break off though. I'll need to do more trimming soon.
