My softie tank

[Lotus99]

Beautiful tank you have!

The green sinularia/nepthea and the green-polyp toadstools seem to grow fairly fast. They should be great sources for frags to swap.

Nice tank, Jun77! Do you apply any balling or it's pure waterchange maintenance?

 

[joshnola]

Nice tank! And really nice additions!

insaneclownfish- thanks i like the yuma too! its not happy at first, then i kept on changing its placement, it finally setteled on a small rock a few inches at the bottom of the tank with almost no flow.

lotus99- i hope your true, the next frag swap is a year to go anyway

arcadius- no additives, just water maintenace and TLC, come to think of it, it has been a month since my last WC!

joshnola- thank youfor looking, glad you like it.

The orange / red mushrooms are stunning. Everything looks healthy. what are your water parameters and change protocols?

 

[macclellan]

Tank looks good!

 

[joshnola]

Nice pics!

Electrobes, macclellan, joshnola - thanks!

Bud Reeferman - to tell you the truth, it has been a long time since i check my params. as for the water change, 10 gallon natural sea water, 1 or two times a month.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the best thing with this hobby is that we meet a lot of new people. these shrooms will be shipped for trade tomorow, there going to tennessee.

lookin' good. pic of the ric I mentioned for ya here

 

[.::Jun77::.]

update!

ok, so i shipped the said frags for trade, i got lucky i found a styro at the good 'ol dollar store.

I used 3 bags just to be sure, but guess what? it leaked! the receiver reported that the package arrived soaking wet

Lesson learned: dont tie all the three bag all at once, use multiple bags and rubberband to prevent a leak.

Good thing there are some water left and from what i heard the frags are doing good.

Here's the frags that i got

The first one is pure awesomeness! metallic orange

I also got a nice ric and another 'shroom with teal streaks that i thought was a goner but made a comeback.

it really was a good trade

Since i got the camera, i've taken some more picture, here are some random shots that i like;

This was given to me by a local reefer (Bernie21)

Jun,
You seem to go more for color than a tank that will be sustainable in the long run...but kudos for that nice Palythoa grandis, it's a beauty!

It seems like some of your corals are suffering from lack of light.

Remind me why a brown frag of Heliopora coerulea would add anything to your tank?

Junn your tank is looking nice!! Hopefully that GSP grows out for you quickly like it did for me!! I love those orage mushrooms w the white stripes. Nice tank!!!!
