You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

[Slocke]

Grab a Salifert mag and calcium kit and a pH meter/probe from Amazon. Salifert is "cheap" and easy.

I have heard greta stuff about Salifert.

Maybe a Cyphastrea? Doubtful but another possibility.

The polyps are much closer together... I'm pretty sure its a relative of goniopora. This is a micro-goni on TG that I think looks similiar:

Possibly a Bernadapora then? I think that's technically what they are.

I knew it had a different name but I couldn't find it!!

 

[Slocke]

Can you get it?

My LFS fulfills all my needs right now and they are just cheaper and have really good stock. I just don't see the need to buy online corals.

Got a new fish and 3 new Zoas.

Timor Wrasse:



Terrible photos but these have a vibrant pink iris with a navy blue pupil:


These have a large golden pupil, a black iris, and red lashes:

Finally these have a bright green striped center with red lashes:

 

[Slocke]

I don't think I ever posted a good photo of last weeks goniopora:

Also POTM entry?

Also POTM entry?

I was thinking of submitting my Hulk Lepto. Whatcha think?

So after going through TG, WWC, and TSA I've concluded that the closest zoas to mine are: Bloodsucker (TSA),

Star Foxx(TSA),

and ...... inverse Cotton Candy (TG)?

New photos!

Salifert Calcium arrived today (for some reason the mag was sent seperately)! Thanks for the suggestion. It does actually work which nice when you are used to API tests.

Got about 445ppm which is good right?

Sounds about perfect depending on your alkalinity. I think @fishguy242 posted the levels. 445 should be for about 8.3 or 8.4 if I recall.

My alkalinity is much higher. 11.2 last I tested.

 

[tbrown]

I was way wrong.. 11.2 should be around 440 calcium so you should be pretty close.

That is assuming this calculator is correct.

Well I'm on vacation. Seeing family vacation not fun vacation in Wisconsin and I didn't leave things as I would like. Unfortunately the Timor has stopped eating. It was eating really well in the LFS but only hesitantly eating at home. Since then its stopped. It will look but not eat. I suspect either a mouth injury or cyanide collection. Hopefully will pull through.
On top of that I think the algae I've been dealing with is dinos not cyano. It isn't causing massive problems and is only showing up on some rocks but is still depressing. Guess I shouldn't have attacked my phosphates so aggressively.

On the other hand the 3 new zoas are doing very well and are by far my 3 prettiest zoas. I have zoas that cost me the same as those 3 combined but these 3 are stunners. I've been infomed they are Candy Apple Reds, Ring of Fire, and Armor of God. I hope to frag the armor of gods and sell them to my LFS:
"What do you have for us today?"
"I have The ARMOR OF GOD!! ........ zoanthids."

Enjoy Wisconsin as much as one can in mid-March! You can always visit the Mars Cheese Castle if it’s still open! What part of Wisconsin you visiting?

Middle of nowhere, Sparta. But may visit that on the way back to the Milwaukee. Sounds very very Wisconsin.
