My pH issue is apparently my house. Gotta get some more house plants

I'm babysitting this bonsai for my LFS. Long story... But I want to see how it grows while I have it.

Nice piece!

Thanks! I have no other SPS in my tank, but I kinda like this one. I don't know if I want to give it back

Ha! I like the store too much and the owner is a great guy.

There I am, minding my own business and feeding my corals when I notice something behind my hammer coral..."What is that?" I ask myself......

SON OF A MONKEY! That's a dang aiptasia! Grumble grumble grumble.

I have no idea what it came in on. I dip everything but I guess they can survive the dips.

True. Now I have to find my joe's juice. I hope that stuff doesn't expire

TheEngineer · Mar 30, 2016

Found it! Bone dry and hard as a rock. The directions say to add RODI if it gets too thick. Bone dry is a kind of thick, right?

It came right back to life with some RODI added. Take that you varmint!!

I can confirm that Aiptasia is gone.

Mess with the bull and get the..... kalk paste...?

Couple of nice pickups yesterday from the LFS. Twizzlers and Darth mauls. $25 for 14 polyps of the twizzlers, how could I say no?

I also picked up Aquavitro Fuel today since I've heard good things about it. I'm going to dose it twice a week and see how it turns out.

Very nice! I wanted some Darth Mauls, but never found any!

drstratton · Apr 10, 2016

Wow, what a great score on both of those!

TheEngineer · Apr 11, 2016

Turns out I miscounted... there are 15 polyps on the Twizzler

drstratton · Apr 11, 2016

Lol, even better!!!

TheEngineer · Apr 11, 2016

I busted out the ol' DSLR and my extension tubes this afternoon. Here are a few macros of the new frags. Focus isn't perfect and the colors are little on the orange side, but not bad.
