They'll normally be shriveled up during and a little bit after the splitting process.

Candy canes still havent opened :disappoin. Going to my lfs today. Dont know what to do. I want to get a pistol shrimp/ YWG goby pair but dont have enough sand (only around 1.5 maybe, 2 inches). Can i add sand while im acclimating them? I might just end up getting the goby and maybe a cleaner shrimp today. I dont know.

You tell me what to do:D

You can add more sand to the tank. You can take a piece of PVC, put it down in the tank, then sand the sound down the PVC chute to minimize cloudiness.

Update, New Pics

My peppirement shrimp molted!!!!

Just got these green star polyps yesterday, going to try to attach some to the back wall

Best pic that i could get of my sixline wrasse, he is my favorite fish!!!!

Candy cane, my favorite coral in the tank!!!!

And a FTS. If you see that string like thing on the top rock that is chaeto that keeps on growing. I wanna see how big its gonna get!


Also, the green star polyps that came today are growing on some kind of coral skeleton. Not sure if you guys want me to take a pic of it but i think it should be fine. Right?

Also if you notice the clowns have to try and be in every pic, when i put my hand in the tank the one is always trying to swim in my palm, my little sister hand feeds him everyday!

Update 2/3/2012

Got some LEDs lights about a month ago and tank is doing great. Also added a DIY top off and im surprised i got it to work.




These zoas are the only coral in my tank that dont seem to grow

Good growth on this in the past month

20 heads on the candy cane. I think when i got it, it was 4 heads... pretty good growth for a year. You can see the duncan in the back, got that as 1 head, grew to 10 then i fragged it up a little bit

4 heads when i got this, now it is 8, gonna frag it sometime this month

Heres a picture of the back chambers. From left to right you can see diy auto top off, refugium light, mediabasket, and thermometer

Love to see these updates, you have one heck of a cool looking biocube there!

 

[italipinos8]

Thanks for the comments. Does anybody know how to get good pictures under the LEDS?

Heres some pics of my clown hosting my toadstool. I think im going to get rid of my green star polyps and get either a maxima/crocea clam or a bubble tip anemone. Also getting a tunze 9002 skimmer in the next couple weeks. Will keep you guys updated:D

 

[beeguiles]

Awesome pics

 

[italipinos8]

More updates for you guys. Pretty much same as usual. Spectacular growth from all corals. I wish i posted a picture of the birdsnest a few months ago but it has nearly double in size. The montipora also has some really nice growth. It encrusted onto the rock it is on.

 

[Smitty]

Your corals are looking good.
