Marinne's Reef

[Marinne13]

Thanks...exotic reefs has nice stuff for great prices, I only paid 60 for that 13 head duncan and not over 20 a piece for the 3 zoa colonies which have great colors and opened already

 

[Aquarian]

Wow that's not bad! How is their shipping?

 

[Marinne13]

Its 50 which kinda sucks but its fedex priority which has to deliver before 1030 the next day, he packs well to

 

[Aquarian]

Shipping always sucks but I've seen worse than 50.

Very nice frags! :thumbsup:

 

[AnthonyTheNewbie]

He combines for the items though, so 50$ isn't awful. Pics of them opened?

 

[Marinne13]

there are some up above, the Duncan is starting to but my lights aren't on full blast yet

the other thing I a kinda mad about is the fire fish I put in there...he literally never comes out, only to eat one piece of food which is frustrating

 

[Marinne13]

so one of my new zoa colonies is not really opening...everything else is doing great and there are no pests on it at all

I had it in a lower light area with medium to high flow and just moved it up another 5 inches with lower flow so we will see

I am only running my AI Sol at 45% max on blues and 40% on whites, it's 10 inches off the surface

 

[Sakura2282]

Hope they open for you in this new location if not keep trying.

 

[Marinne13]

They opened almost all the way between 10 and noon then closed a little which is weird...they dont seem stressed and better in this new location so I will give them a few weeks

 

[Marinne13]

so is it weird that my female clown is hiding behind the rocks in a cave??? the male is out where he normally is but the female won't come out and keeps looking up at a rock

 

[mariobrothersleeve]

Give it time. My female came with the tank and was very timid of everything for a while (2 months) now she is a huge bitch to everything in the tank......

 

[Marinne13]

She just started this after 2 weeks in my cube though...weirdo

 

[mariobrothersleeve]

Not a clue. They are definitely the weirdest fish I've seen.

 

[Marinne13]

indeed...I am starting to get coraline already which is nice

 

[mariobrothersleeve]

Sweetness

 

[Marinne13]

however I am having a pod explosion...literally not an inch worth of glass space, kind of annoying

 

[Aquarian]

That's probably what your clown was watching. Pods fornicating:eek::oops:

 

[Marinne13]

Lol nice one aquarian

 

[Marinne13]

So I have had this pod explosion over the past 3 days, water is super cloudy and it looks like there is sand flying everywhere even though I have no sand sifter or fish messing with it

I also now have this white stringy crap on some of my rocks and one zoa colony...it is not hydroids, vermitid snails or any other pest as I used dry rock and dipped/inspected every frag thoroughly

what could it be??
