Hi my dear buddies:beer:

Can't say how sorry i'm for the late responses but as my signature says sometimes the world is too small to avoid people you don't like and of course one of my "favorite persons....noooot" followed me here:debi:
So in order to keep enjoying my hobby without trying to calm my nerves everyday because of me watching him around here asking questions and copying and pasting your posts or possible(thank god you ignored him many times) answers to his questions, which he took to other local forums.:hmm2:...i stayed away.

Since he exhibited "nice behaviour" in our local forum he was banned there and
things went quieter.
That guy took your posts,answers ,etc and made them arguments/claims in other local forums and the sad part is that most of the times he didn't even understand what you said or do with your tanks and twisted things....fact that was happening in your ignorance/you didn't even know the forums!
Most of you know who i'm talking about so no need to say more about that "person"....

Enough walking dead talk

Nice one Mike. Let's hope you will not break that thin monti branch by mistake.

Thanks buddy:beer:
Tbh i removed the monti and i glues that rock in another spot,lol
The red digi went to another friend who appreciates more digi's

Mike! Sand..... Nice!!
You are the master of the overhang so I love the 'suharsonoi hang' awesome!!
Do you worry about the digi being strong enough down to road to hold the growth weight? Whenever I have had digis, I have always found them to be very fragile.
I think it's a good idea to cut away odd skeletal growth.. It allows the coral to begin growing properly again.. I did something similar to a Fiji coral that had amazing colour and growth at the base but very poor health on the ends.. I decapitated it!!
I hope the changes work themselves out, Mike.

Thanks my friend,glad you like it matt!

Surprisingly that digi was hard to cut and remove:uhoh3:
Couldn't agree more regarding coral health and decapitation!

I don't think Mike does much worrying...its part of his charm:thumbsup:

Lol not a charming guy at all buddy!!
But agree on the not need to worry much comment matt!

Bummer to hear about the issues Mike but I'm glad you're not stressed and I'm sure things will come back in no time!! Are you going to keep with carbon and/or vodka? Or let things settle and move to something else??

Some more pics would be nice too... hint hint

Pics to come soon my dear dom and i hope you guys like it!Don't expect much though,lol

Trimming corals always works so thing went nice after that!Nice growth but not so rich colors because of my 25 no3:uhoh3:

Mike things are really filling in nicely - well done.

Thanks greg,always happy to see you around here buddy:beer:
Sadly tank has a lot of distance ahead of it

 

[glaukos]

Nice 'trim' there.

Glad to hear the KH spike wasn't worse. I never ran carbon either but when I started working on my polyp plague I put some in and it was if I bought starfire glass for the tank, everything was less yellow and green.

Thanks mark buddy:beer:

How are things going Mike.

Sorry for the late responses andrew and other friends but "cool dude...not" was in the way!

Mike, hope everything is ok. You going to give us an update?

Everything is ok my friend and thank you so much guys for caring:love1:

+1 Can't wait for a photo bomb!

Some pics only bernie buddy,you know how bad i'm with the camera,lol

That makes one more of us Mike

Thank perry:beer:

Count me in as well Mike I hope everything is well mate!

More than well dom,thank again for caring guys!

Here one more...Hope all is well Mike.

Thanks for the interest my dear sahin,all is good buddy:beer:

Some pics to follow,please don't have high expectations!

 

[glaukos]

So during that time i painted the back of the tank black,removed all the other fish and kept my emperor and added an achilles:rollface:
Only a couple of branching and that's the end regarding adjusting the aquascape.The rest of the hard work on that is left on the corals:thumbsup:

Emperor goes by trhe name "the dude" and achilles by "ragnar"
Will never grow up and stop naming my fish lol

Some poor pics

 

[glaukos]

Is he fat or what?lol
After almost 8 months he is starting to change colors

love is in the air...or better in the water

 

[glaukos]

Sorry for the bad pics and even more sorry about the late reply's guys!....blame the troll...but no more feeding

 

[markalot]

Awesome Mike, thanks for the update. If I had more time I'd remove some of the blue from those photos, but the tank looks great.

 

[watchguy123]

I love the rockscape, acros look great. I also have a juvenile emperor angel as well although not as fat as yours. Yours looks nice and healthy indeed. The achilles is my most wanted fish but I have a powder blue tang that excels in killing new tangs so no achilles for my tank unfortunately.

 

[Wrangy]

Great to see an update Mike And the tank is looking great! I still think the scape is one of the coolest and once everything is grown in like crazy it's going to be even more awesome

I do have some bad news though, your diagnosis is correct. The Dude is fat lol what a great looking emperor!(Big Lebowski reference? lol)

 

[mhucasey]

Welcome back Mike!:celeb1:

 

[plyle02]

Thank you so much mark and please don't spend any of your precious time on correcting my sad pics buddy!
I really must learn to do it my self some time lol
Glad you like it bud

Thanks mark,really appreciate your kind words:beer:
Glad you have an emperor too,cool fish to say the least!I had underestimated it.
Cool colors and lots of personality too.
I'm really a sucker for achilles,simply adore this fish:inlove:

I bet your powder could do some real damage if you got him in there
No harm there because he(PB) is an awesome fish too

Thanks my dear friend,glad you like it.It means a lot to me!
Yeah avoiding the troll gave me some extra time to work with the tank
Think i'm done with coral relocating and "branching",so it's time to sit back and hopefully see corals grow.

Sticks are not so nicely colored as i'd love but maybe when i'll start AF things will improve in that area

Thanks again guys!!

It's so nice to see an update for your tank. It's really looking nice! Your corals are starting to fill out that amazing aquascape of yours. The two fish are epic! Some of my favorites.

Atm i'm thinking of relocating the stag from the upper right at the island's middle,besides the stylo and putting the last branch i used in it's place.Still debating it though:uhoh3:
