Kdoc's 210g Reef Tank

[Kdocimo90]

when I got the reply that "This colony is striking blue with Solid Blue Eyes." I figured that the entire eye was blue. Most of the blue/red zoas though are red with a blue "patch"

 

[Kdocimo90]

I stole this picture off of someone in the selling section... The zoas to the right are ALMOST EXACTLY what mine look like. Mine seem to have smaller diameters of blue.

The New Guys

Ok I admit to a bit of photoshopping (in paint it though). I took multiple pictures and had to put them together like a puzzle.

FTS

Well I just fragged for the first time in my life.
I made some Zoa, Kenya Tree, Paly, and GSP frags. I think I did a good job .

I'll post some pictures of them tomorrow.

sweet tank K. One of those frags may be mine btw my first experience was pretty funny. I watched how they fragged Xenia on garf, how the guy juts cut it and grabbed the xenia with tongs as it floats on by.....rofl, I tried the same thing and lost it for two days in the tank.

 

[Kdocimo90]

lmao. Yeah so far I think i've done well. One of the frags is yours. I have a 7 polyp RPE frag I made today (I'll only charge you for the 6 though).

 

[RTMA]

sweet, can't wait to move other frags around to place it in the most optimal place in my tank...and then move it 15 minutes later.

 

[Kdocimo90]

They like to be in low light in my tank. I have a huge colony of RPE mixed with some type of brown paly. They arent doing too well though because of being so high up in the tank. I need to find something to do with that, but I dont want to move the rock

Dont worry though. Your frag came from the really nice small colony I have at the bottom of the tank.

 

[RTMA]

low light? That's great I have plenty of that. Hey btw, where do you keep your tubbs? I'm trying to find a good spot for my 3 polyp frag. I tried the bottom and they weren't very happy, now they are middle and doing so so, at least the diamond goby is not dropping sand all over them anymore. Maybe I'll move them up tomorrow, I can never seem to get all three polyps open at the same time.

 

[Kdocimo90]

To be honest.. my tubbs are going crazy. IDK whats goin on with them

The most recent picture I have they look great.. but now they are starting to fade... I've been moving it around but no luck... I'm going to try and stick it under alot of shade tomorrow. Its annoying because ALL my other zoas are looking great, except my favorite tubbs

 

[Kdocimo90]

How'd I do?

How'd I do?

 

[Kdocimo90]

Did I really do that bad fraggin?! lol

Also, I just bought this Mini Zoa Colony off a guy on RC
They're Eagle Eyes, but this yellowish morph is usually called Sunflower Zoas

 

[Kdocimo90]

Ok... I've made a decision. I'm going to make a Zoanthid "Garden" in my tank. Its going to be in the center of the tank starting from my sandbed, working its way up to my Radioactive Dragon Eye colony. What do you guys think?

 

[fishkid6692]

sounds cool. i was going to do that with my 8g biocube but decided to get seahorses instead ha.

 

[Kdocimo90]

Seahorses? Pretty cool. Yeah I'm gonna have the center of the tank be a zoa garden, and the left side just a bunch of softies. I might stick a big toadstool on top of the zoa garden, near where my crappy RPE colony is right now.


I just noticed that I used a rock with RPE to hold another rock up way at the bottom. The polyps on that rock are SOO MUCH prettier and brighter than the other ones. I'm gonna let them grow out a bit and sell some more.

 

[Kdocimo90]

oh and ps: WOOT 3000 posts

 

[Kdocimo90]

Ok i just ordered some AWESOME stuff for mrcorals.com. I plan on ordering some more stuff tomorrow, and hopefully being eligible for the free shipping they offer (even though my zipcode is RIGHT outside of their barrier line, they might work with me)

I will post pics ASAP

 

[Kdocimo90]

Aww well my Fire and Ice Yuma Ricordea that I bought was "not healthy enough" to be shipped so I was refunded and I'm just replacing it with some zoas.

Cant wait to get all my zoas in!!!! I'm way too excited lol.

I also moved some frags off my sandbed today, and onto the flat rock to the left. I also got my package from BRS today with my frag rack. That is going to help me keep a nice clear sand bed. I have to say, a nice, clean, and clear sand bed looks AWESOME. I love having the tank nice an open and not looking so cluttered with a bunch of frag disks.

 

[Kdocimo90]

It looks SOOO much better in peron and really is a darker red. My camera phone picked it up as orange for some reason.

Here's a pic I fooled around with. Looks pretty cool
