A Splash of Color

Sorry for not being on lately, been under the weather. I will catch up this weekend with the PM's and posts :)

In the meantime here's a few quick top down vids just for the hell of it and pics of one of two acro tissue eating snails i removed about 3 months ago. I just found it in the loose coin jar where i threw it for safekeeping - meant to tell you guys lol.
It and the half as big mate i found the next night after removing this guy were both on a stag an inch up the main stem of the colony feeding on tissue and polyps. There was about a thumbnail size stark white area of no tissue that occurred over no more than 3 days.

Because multiple insurgent snails had been taken out in this one region a reef strike was called in. An A-10 Reefhog strafed the entire area with its boiling RO cannon. Upon assessing the aftermath, a second strike was ordered to take out the encrusting edge of the same stag, any random life nearby that also caught the pilot's eye that day was strafed........;)

Man you guys down in OZ get all the good stuff they give us the exploding iPhones here.
 
Logged on to RC today. Was going to complain that you haven't posted an updates for a month or so. Well its been 14 days or so since the last major update. Just seemed like a month. So I researched things a bit. And I found I have been following your threads for two years now. The amount of information and reading material you have provided rivals the Harry Potter Book series. I don't know how you have kept me interested and entertained for two years, so thank you. People have come, Fishy, Sahan, Bello, to name a few. They have gone. But you are still rolling. Two years is a long time. If your slowing up, I am fine with it. Not really, but what can you do. I will just continue following.
My question of the day, coming up is year three of the great Acro Christmas tree contest. Do you still have year one and year two winners? If so how are they doing.

Hey Marty...I dont know who this Sahan is, but I can assure you I am still around. :blown: Just a little more busy than I used to be. :facepalm:

I just started my new tank thread. But life is busy with 3 kids, work and all the other stuff thrown in. Andrew has way more time than me.

Anyway, Andrew has a tank which is way cooler than mine and with very colourful acros in it so I'm not surprised he manages to lure you back to this thread and will keep doing so. :crazy1:

Andrew, the corals are looking great. I have been following your YT channel. Now that Firetruck looks pretty cool. Maybe I can find something like it at the back of my tank? :eek1:
 
Sahin, Thanks for letting me know about your new thread. Luckily I have been wrong before.

Marty

I have an a@53hole of a female clown who likes to try and take chunks out of the back of your hand while trying to hold freshly glued frags as still as possible while the glue sets - I swear the only time she does it is when gluing corals, maybe the superglue sends her into a ice rage? usually results in the frag being glued being displaces and then knocking over may other corals, or as I found out last night I also have a jerk of a barrier reef chromis that didn't want any frags on his patch of ground and over about 30mins proceeded to smash them off and carry them off to the other side of the tank and dump them :furious:

Hi Dom, I have something similar from an Aussie shipment 1 to 2 months back. It came in yellower but turned more pink over time. Polyps are a deep red. I just managed to borrow a par meter and my lights were shockingly low. I run a 5ft 8 tube powermodule hybrid over a 6ft tank. The light was about 12 inches above the surface and this coral was about 8 to 10 inches below the surface. it was getting about 150 par. I attribute the loss of yellow and increase in pink to the low lighting. I have since lowered the light to about 7 inches above the surface and par has increased to about 250ish. Hopefully the yellow will come back.

That acro has a lot of potential mate, did you sort out the lighting issue you were having ?

Thanks a lot Marty :)

I never keep my trees but this year i will take the Xmas decoration to Dave's after Xmas is over and he can do what he chooses with it. I've decided to go with a Frosty the Snowman theme this year Marty and will be starting work on it tomorrow. ;)

Nothing you suddenly 'find' in the back of your tank surprises me buddy, good to see your new display up and running well my friend :)

Andrew, do you have any of these around your house?

No i do not Marty. I talked my idiot brother into placing his finger in front of a trap door spider hole in the back yard once though and almost pulled it off but for mom ruining things when she busted us prior to whatever cool thing i was hoping was going to happen.
It wasn't really 'us' tbh as i was the only one having sandals thrown at him as i recall but regardless of the experiment failure i can report the following.

Despite what i told my brother i'm fairly certain a trap door's fangs would punch straight through a fingernail - that was the outcome i based the entire human/spider interaction experiment on after all.

Thanks to mom we will never bloody know :(
