hey the new tank (big pics)

[logiktest]

What are you using four inch diameter hose for?

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

lol Im not using 4" diameter hose lol I need a 4" length of hose to repair the broken one

 

[logiktest]

Oh, ok. Are you talking about the black hose in post1-picture3? If so, I still think the "big box" stores will carry the hose you need. If you were going to replace the full length of flexible hose you could get a different type/color/shape hose. As long as the inside diameter is the same.

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

all the stores I checked have hoses, but not the same diamiter but I have found one in a small town near me so I am good on that note

Hey new update got some rock and cheato today! heres some pics

FTS

here is a coral I got in some LR rubble...I donno what it is or if its alive....but still looks neat

I am going to buy a coral book tomorrow to learn more on corals hope you enjoy

 

[JxMetal]

green slimer......doubt it makes it through the cycle. But I hope it does. Good luck

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

i doubt it does to but its still nifty to get it in a bag of rubble and as geo/phil was saying that yellow polyps are really hardy and can withstand a cycle...do you think that goes with any polyps....that is that they can survive a cycle? if so anyone wanna trade or I guess I could make it a donor.... i dont wanna kill it!!!LMK

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

isnt that an sps?...I only want softies anyway....would green button polyps survive lol they look nifty

 

[Reeferhead]

Yes, Green slimer is and SPS, its a Acropora species to be more specific and a staghorn. If it hasn't bleached out or started to dieoff already, I can hold it in my frag tank until your tank is ready. If its too late or you don't want it in your tank anyway I wouldn't worry about it much, they're pretty common.

Yellow polyps, green star polyps, and most button polyps, even a few zoanthids can handle a cycle pretty well.

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

thanks nick! i think its started to bleach already....It was in a bag of rubble and out of the water.....I looked this morning and the very tip top of it had white spots...oh well I will just leave it in there thanks for the offer tho

 

[Reeferhead]

If you ever get the SPS itch in the future let me know and I'll hook you up with a frag of mine. It was actually the first SPS I ever owned, snuck into my bag by a generous LFS employee. I had intended for my tank to be all zoas, rics and other softies. However, when I got home and discovered it in my bag, I figured I'd give it a shot, but just this one.... I think I have 15 or so SPS now

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

I got 2 new pieces of rock that are covered in orange coriline and a small frag of green star polyps - got them cause they were on sale and it cost me 4.95 with tax lol

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

oh and thanks nick I might take you up on that in the future

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

well, I was thinking for a stocking list.....

coral:
a few xenia frags
zoas(not sure what kinds) frags
shrooms(not sure what kinds) frags
and polyps(a little of everything) frags
-does anyone see a problem with this list? I chose frags not because they are cheap, but I am one who likes to see it grow. I dont really want a rock covered already, but maybe a few

fish:
unknown still

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

well a little of an update....

my GSP doubled in size since I got him

and anyone have any conflicts with my list??

 

[saltyshoe_nano]
