Ironically, all my fish stay on the left side of the tank most of the time.

Yes, there is more room indeed. I freed up sandbed...but there is sps coming.

[jjamontan]

I keep getting more and find that I don't want to have the sps sting other coral. I keep messing with the rock and know I have the room but I guess spending the money holds me back.

[Sniperhank]

It holds me back too. I need to stop spending and save up for Xmas, but when a good deal drops into your lap you should take it. And that just had to happen to me 2 weeks in a row...LOL. Atleast everyone gets to enjoy real pictures of my tank now that I have a new camera.

Why are you worried about sps stinging other coral?

[jjamontan]

I ment lps not sps due to there size

[Sniperhank]

Ok, I get you. The only one that worried me about that was/is my flower pot. Tbh, great coral but I'll be happy to be rid of it. Takes up too much room that could be more coral...it is just dying too slow. I've fine what I can for it, but it its obvious to me that I can't do anything to change its path at this point.

[jjamontan]

The flower pot I have is also slowly going down hill.

[Sniperhank]

Yeah, supposedly they like a dirtier water. It is the opposite of our sps reef tanks. I guess no wonder they have such a low success rate and are considered difficult. I was in the middle of a thought and it is long gone now...opps lol.

[jjamontan]

I hate the fact that I spent $60 on it for it to die

[Sniperhank]

Thats why we research before buying. I read and read and it came up on saltwaterfish.com's 25 dolar deal so I thought I'd give it a shot. Live and learn.

[jjamontan]

Your right I got this one when I saw it and it looked great. I am now fighting Aiptasia and the more I use aiptasia x the more come back.

[Sniperhank]

I just can't help myself...

[jjamontan]

Beautiful

Wow! My candy canes never opened like that!!

[Sniperhank]

It's ironic, since I have 2 candy canes side by side. The one thrives, after I almost killed it, and the other slowly bleaches and fades away. I truely hate this coral. Whoever said it was easy to keep them lies! Lol.

Anyway...why do I post today after almost a week you say? Tomorrow I have an order coming in. I will be getting a forest Milli, an orange satosa monti, 2 headed green duncan, a softball sized starburst acro, and an acro crab. We'll see how it goes, this is a store's first time shipping livestock and it is coming 2 day. I'm not worried about the coral, the crab we'll see...but he is in with the acro so I'm hoping that it helps. I want to say that I'll wait a couple days before I snap pics...but I prob won't be able to. I'm also expecting a couple break offs of atleast the acro...I have my glue ready to make some frags. You guys near me might be lucky here once all the snow melts!

This will be my last order for awhile. I got a call the other day from one of my former employees who owns the brother of the dog I own. He needs to get rid of him and there is a good chance that he will be living with me by the end of the weekend. Either way, I'll still keep things posted of the tank and hopefully a good deal comes my way for a larger setup so I can build a stand and canopy to combine both of my tanks to make more room.

Can't wait to see them

The dog is going to live with you or the former employee?

I am jealous of your Duncan and I haven't even seen it yet!

[Sniperhank]

Well, I told by pal that I just don't have the room for a second dog. I just don't. I wish though.

Oh, and btw...
Starburst Acro

New duncan vs old duncan

Orange Satosa Monti (HOLY COLOR!)

Forest Milli

Those look amazing! Love the Duncan!

What happened to the old one!?

I'm sorry about your friends dog. Hopefully he finds a home for it. I wouldn't be able to take in another dog either. No room.
