[tigerslacrosse4]

yah swing by whenever you have a second. i havent aquascaped it all out yet and yes jared did give me a crap ton of frags. i really dont know what to do with them all he was just going crazy with the clippers. lol i have to let everything settle in for a bit see how it handles the move and then i will aquascape it. maby a couple of days from now i will end up doing it. i dont know if im quite ready for a fish i just got an overwhelming ammount of corals that i have to figure out first and why do you happen to have a yellow watchman???? XD

 

[tigerslacrosse4]

coral list from what i know off the top of my head, green tree leather, orange birds nest, green frilly mushrooms, orange mushrooms, purp mushrooms, candy cane, orange digi i think???, yellow cap, one polyup of eagle eye zoa. thats all i remember right now. if jared can jump in and hit the ones i missed you will have the list of the reef. thanks for filling the tank j you basically compleated the product for my senior project.

Its pink birdsnest, it will color up and the yellow cap is really a monti its yellow base with purple polyps.

I know you also got a nice tricolor. Hopefully everything looks good when you get home.

haha thanks man. If its not fine I can probably get you more, short of the mushrooms, I only have the orange ones that I am forced to kill left.

 

[tigerslacrosse4]

aww dont kill them.... take them out set up a 3g shroom tank on like your night stand or somthing that would look nice...

Update and pictures.....

 

[tigerslacrosse4]

well heres an update i cant post pics i havnt had the chance will do it asap. The Tri color its slowly passing (cries on the inside). the ricordias they are pissed because of who knows what, the green b nest is doing really well the pink however has no polyups showing... the candy cane doing great... the rest of the shrooms are pissed bc my light isnt as powerful i think... im not exactally sure.... i really need some guidance on this, its alot harder than i thought it was going to be, the tri color is really discouraging almost feel like i bit off more than i could chew.....

Hey man,

Check your paramaters you should have plenty of light for everything, if I remember correctly you have a 70w MH. I'm running the same amount of light over my cube (12g). You might of had an amonia spike when you moved things around which could have killed off some of your stuff. do you have a test kit? I might have some extra tests lying around, if I do I'll hook you up.

 

[tigerslacrosse4]

i need a test kit. i shouldnt have started keeping corals without one i have come to the realisation that im not really ready for it.....

 

[jayman10134]

if you don't fine one by tomorrow i might be able to swing by after work and do some testing for you. do you have any supplements?

 

[tigerslacrosse4]

nope i already tested my alk is 6.5 dkh. cal is around 520... somthing is very wrong...

 

[jayman10134]

magnesium?

 

[tigerslacrosse4]

.... Didnt think of that, that could be the reason that its way out of wack if im not mistaken mag keeps everything balanced right?

 

[jayman10134]

that is my understanding of magnesium
