Glad things are turning around in your favor Kevin!

BTW, Is that sun coral doing any better in your tank then it was mine?

surfzone · 11-25-2007, 09:36 AM

he opened this morning for the first time so i gave him some mysis and fought off the peppermints lol.

Looks like you are off to a nice re-start. Sorry about your temp troubles. I agree that 80-83 is fine for most of our reef inhabitants. Try adding some fans blowing across the water. Particularly between the lights and the water. It helps a lot.

well just a few moments ago my Bangiis decided to give the life of parent hood another go. i hope that pop will carry to term this go round. Mom is chasing pop around the tank. Is this normal?

Frankie · 11-26-2007, 07:19 PM

I wish it worked like that in my home! LOL

Good luck with the breeding!

here's a pic of papa cardinal I removed mom in order to give dad some space.

Frankie · 11-30-2007, 06:43 AM

Cool! i always wanted a pair of them. One day maybe. Sweet fish Kevin!

surfzone · 11-30-2007, 08:43 AM

Thanks Frankie, if he hold to term you are more than welcome to a few of young ones. I was able to get a pic of my angel, and new Chocolate Tang. Both of them are wicked fast and camera shy.

Frankie · 11-30-2007, 09:24 AM

Sweet. I wonder why they call it a chocolate tang when the other name for Acanthurus pyroferus is more appropriate, Lemon peel.

here's a video of feeding on the reef

Yellow when a juvi & look like this when an adult

Excellent video!!! It also shows how your fish use the caves in the structure. Towards the end the tang disappeared into the structure then reappeared out of a cave at the very bottom, towards the left. Love to watch the fish enjoying their environment.

Fantastic job!!!

Frankie · 12-01-2007, 10:53 PM

Those are happy fish with that swimming room Kevin. Good aquascaping!

surfzone · 12-02-2007, 12:15 AM

Thanks for all the comments and support. I tried to make the inside of the rock cathedral like in that the bottom is open just so that if there is a dead fish in there i can see it, and gravel vac it the upper layer is similar to that too. Frankie that sun coral of yours is opening up really nice now and i'm hand feeding him. i think that all it really wanted was some special attention. That Acro frag is doing very well too. it polyps out and the green is really dark almost like a dark hunter green.

Frankie · 12-02-2007, 10:17 AM

Cool dude! I am glad you are doing better with that one sun then i was. The acro frag you got was one of the rescues Bri sold me and i fraged. There doing really good under this new lighting.
