Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

[saltyfilmfolks]

Cool thanks. I've seen a few with very light polps (ora) so light species etc.

Not a blue clove polyp.

Cool, that's what I was thinking. Not nearly as invasive as BCP.

Mine has done nothing in my tank.
It's gotten a little bigger.
Blue clove will go across the tank.

Yea I read it's a really slow grower, and it's a pretty weed. We can have a few pretty weeds as long as they aren't invasive... like GSP, BCP xenia, Kenya tree

I think I've made you wait long enough. The tank was clear, then I went and changed out the bag of carbon and some brown water poured out of it into the return pump, so the tank looks like this now. I have 4tbsp of ROX carbon and 1/2tbsp GFO in my baggy.

It's not horrible, but it's not crystal clear either. I tested all of our nutrient parameters today and everything looks like it has just about completed it's cycle.
NH4 0ppm (API)
NO2 0.25ppm (API)
NO3 10ppm (API)
PO4 0.08ppm (Red Sea Pro)

We also added our first coral! I moved the Blue Sympodium over and placed it at the bottom of the right cave. It's closed up right now, but hopefully it'll open soon.

While we're thread crashing eachother... Hey @brett_schn @Will Godfrey, you two need to come check things out over here in The Deep Blue Sea. We have snacks and drinks and a lot of fun here. Don't worry I have plenty of sweet tea and Pepsi for the kiddies. Get um all sugared up and send um home with their parents.

My clowns were being photogenic today, so here's some Bonnie and Clyde love.

Oh and Wednesday I have a special surprise for all y'all.

 

[Scurvy]

[Zack K]

Surprises! l can’t wait! Bonnie and Clyde look fun and cheerful. But lacking and anemone *Cough, cough*

They have a rainbow BTA in the frag tank that hasn't really grown much since I got it. It's 2" across the oral disk fully inflated. It got irritated in my old 75 before I took it down. It recovered in the frag tank but never really grew. Turns out I had it under about 50 PAR and it never moved into higher light. I had no idea the output of the A160 over such a small tank but I had figured I was on the low side. Better to have not quite enough than too much. I've since set my Kessil over that tank to an acclimation setting, but since I have so far to go to get the PAR up and the Spectral Controller will only extend up to 14 days on the acclimation setting, I'm having to work it up very slowly. I do not have any recent pictures, as it's on the side of the tank that the 35g is. I really need to separate those two and move the frag tank away. They are sharing an ATO container or I would have them seperated already. Heres some older pics...

It's "spot" in the frag tank...

And a shot with Bonnie and Clyde in the frame for size comparison. They are full grown ocellaris. Yes, Bonnie is 1.5 times longer than the nem is wide.

I just realized my star moved today. I guess my chalk bass made it upset. So I was able to get a decent pic. It needs a name.

First thing that popped into my head... guitarist Synyster Gates from the band Avenged Sevenfold. He's a rock star with spiked black hair. The STARfish is on a ROCK with BLACK SPIKES.

Im hoping to get them hosting the rainbow BTA one day. Gotta get that thing to grow first, then convince them it's a good house.

[SashimiTurtle]

LOL. Great album!

I saw them live in Charlotte at Carolina Rebellion right after Rev passed. "So Far Away" is amazing live, especially at that time, the energy in the crowd... can't describe it. The whole show was awesome even tho I was exhausted from an all day concert.

Finally another girl! Now we can have pink drinks!

I'm late to the party. Figures. I have some catching up to do! This is a great thread btw... I never thought I would learn that brandy comes from distilled wine and that it's illegal in some states. Ah-mah-zing!
