Slate's 125gal build

[CarlaW]

LOL! At least Shane's is doing good. I guess it did not like me. =( I should have given mine a beer pep talk damn it!

Must have been the way I packed them. It is wierd that none of the other corals have suffered tho??

 

[Slate]

Nope, everything else is doing great. And I put them through some punishment with gluing failures

 

[CarlaW]

No worries Gina, if these frags pull through I will bring you one. I need an excuse to come see your tank anyways.

That is downright neighborly of you

Did you try to glue them directly in the tank or were you trying to get them on plugs first?

 

[Slate]

Right to the rocks for the most part. The failures came from some glue I bought that was just horrible and failed like 2 days later. So I went to the store and got the super glue I usually use. That is what I get for being too lazy to go to the right store lol.

I put mine on a frag plug. =( I must have had cooties. Shane that is really nice of you! You are welcome to come see the tank. =) All of the other frags are doing great. No other problems with the other ones you gave me either Charlie.

 

[Slate]

Girl cooties will kill anything....lmao

The birdsnest is really cool. I put it in my BioCube. It looks like it has blue polyps from where I am sitting. I started everything out in the BioCube. Maybe that was the problem. I don't know. I then transferred the mystery Acro to the big tank after it started to STN on me. Everything else is still in the cube and doing great. They will go to the big tank soon.

 

[NanoReefer411]

Haha!

Shane, if you want to go to Coral Props with me anyway sometime, you are more than welcome to. I might head up there this week. I got a clam from Henk.

Charlie-Did you get that clam from Kevin?

I have never done that, I am always finding some piece of rubble to glue them to first before they go in the tank.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I don't know what to say??????

Not going there.

The birdnest has purple polyps. I will see if I can dig up a good pic for you guys.

 

[CarlaW]

Yeah, the clam came home with me too.............................lol

 

[NanoReefer411]

LOL. =) Looks kind of purple/blue to me. It is probably my eyes. Post some pictures of your new clam!

 

[CarlaW]

Here is the birdsnest:

I think I have pics in my thread in the Montana club forum Gina.

WHOA!!!!!! Now why doesn't it look that nice in my tank? HOLY MOSES! Beautiful picture.

Thanx Gina, that pic was taken under my VHO actinics. It looks different in every tank I have gotten frags to, everybody has different lighting systems. In Kevin's cubes at his store, it is just a really bright pink.

Here are a couple pics of the new Tomini Tang. Both tangs have been all over the place kicking up sand so that coupled with this guy being a little shy didn't make for very good pics.

I also got a picture of my Red Planet frag that you can actually see the frag! lol

Great looking fish, sorry we didn't see it while we were there. Thanks for the corals.

 

[Slate]

Took some pics tonight. As usual they are with my old 3.5 mega pixel camera so not the best but good enough.

Nice stuff Shane, that Red Planet is really starting to color up nicely for you. That is one beautiful coral when it does color up. Everything else looks like it is doin well too, congrats.
