florida ric splitting

[currentking]

here is a pic of the split in progress

 

[sufunk]

Nice! Those aren't the ones you just got are they?

Thats weird because the splitting one actually looks a little bleached and less healthy than the others.

How long have you had that one?

 

[aquarius77]

I see what your sayin now, earlier when i read this i thought the one above the one that dont look so good was the shroom he was talking about.
I think he is refering to the shroom in the bottom center of the pic now that i look again. My guess is that it dont look so good because its splitting, i have never seen it happen like that so i dont know.

 

[aquarius77]

Great pic current! I have never seen it in progress like that, very nice.

 

[currentking]

yeah, its not bleached, but almost streched out, I will get some more pics, and Sufunk, no it is one i have had for awhile.

 

[sufunk]

Thats cool. Was it "figure eighting" like the ones next to it are before it started to split?

If so, looks like your soon gonna have a bunch of splits! I have some doing that but none have split.

 

[currentking]

yeah it was figure 8ting, here are a couple more pics. I cant take good pics for the life of me. I have crappy lighting now until I get my bigger tank.

 

[currentking]

its almost done, has about 1/4" left to go

 

[sufunk]

That's sweet! Looks like your gonna double your rics soon!

Am i crazy or does the right side of the splitting ric have 3 mouths?!? Kind of looks like it has 3 mouths just on the one side in the pic!

 

[currentking]

yeah it does have 3 mouths. At this point I have so many ricordea I dont know what to do with them. They are taking over my tank

 

[sufunk]

Yeah, i'm almost in the same boat!

For some reason, we still keep buying them though,lol

 

[currentking]

yeah, Im hoping Ill come home one day and there will be ea bigger tank sitting in my living room

 

[sufunk]

Lol, same here. Sometime in the next few years i may upgrade hopefully to maybe a 300g or so.

You should talk to Jeff about making you a bigger tank in the near future. Probably cheaper than you think it would be.

 

[currentking]

yeah, im looking for a 180 or 210. unless of course I go with the elos 150, but it is kind of pricey

 

[sufunk]

I got the 180 over the 210 because i didn't want it 30" deep, too hard to move corals around and such. I wanted to get in 30 or 36 inches wide but getting it made custom was just too much.

Hopefully in a few years i could get something made like a 96x30x36.

 

[Jeff]

Nice! I love seeing that in my tank too

 

[currentking]

See Sufunk. I'm 6'7" so I have long arms, so it is no big deal for me getting a tall tank. One of the many advantages of being tall

what i usually do is cut them in half when they start to split like that.....makes it go faster....
