Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

That’s a nice looking tank

Acclimating... these are more like 2-2.5" frags. ;Turtle

Nice frags, what's that middle one

Forest fire digi

Acclimated, dripped, dipped, lights set to 14 day 75% acclimation, and placed in the tank... they are ticked off right now and sliming up.

Unknown, thinking its a stag

Forest fire digi, yep... we mounted it sideways, the other side had already been shaded by the growth pattern so we took advantage of that.

Bonsai acro... fully encrusted the plug and was actually growing onto the rack at the LFS. I had to cut the stem off the plug where I normally would have removed the whole plug. Lost some color, was a dark purple in the store. We remember our last one did that too and colored back up in a week or so.

I'm gonna let these guys settle for a little bit and see if we can get some better pictures.

Ha, ha, ha... but it's a staghorn, correct?

I think that is most likely but it could be months to say for sure without seeing the mother colony.

[SashimiTurtle]

Starting to get settled in...

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Bonsai and the other one are finally settled. I think a few of the small tips got broken on the bonsai on the way home, I see white spots and they are still sliming a little bit. It should heal up quickly.

Looking great! I really need to up my photo game. I pulled out the good camera today but I need a macro lens. I did get one good shot so..

I can't find the post but I think I remember someone sharing a picture of a bald eagle... maybe it was just a lake... from a local photographer... maybe it was @siggy?

Anyway, just saw this photo from Lake Wateree, just up the road from the house about 20 minutes. Guy that lives on the lake does some photography as a hobby. Felt like sharing, 'Merica!

Pretty tang... one day I'll have a larger tank, and I'll have a tang or two. I'd really like another lieutenant tang. The red sea sohal is on my list as well... maybe when we can afford that 300g tank.

Yes it does! There are osprey on that lake as well and they are nothing but fish eaters.

Hey turtle, I was watching a BRS video (might of been week 10 of triton on the BRS 180) but @Ryanbrs said that when they switched the fuge light to the Kessil, it took 4-6 weeks before they actually started to see growth. So it was still alive the 4-6 weeks but no visual growth. Sounds similar to your situation. Just thought I’d share.

Thanks, I'm sure I watched that episode too but it was probably last year and I have a hard time remembering what I ate for breakfast yesterday. We've got the H380 back under the tank and set to run from 0000-1000 hours. That chaeto is gonna grow, no choice.

Speaking of breakfast, and stag from yesterday... venison is mighty tasty... I may not be a hunter, but I work with a lot of them and sometimes we have breakfast sausage.
