Would they not sting each other?

Gig and Mag usually do. These two haven't though. They've been playing nice and actually seem to enjoy each other.

Minh brought me that Gig the other day and we placed him on the sandbed at edge of the reef. Later on, he moved up on the rocks a bit. He has been moving higher daily. Now they are both touching and have been. We'll see how this goes. I'm hoping my mag will move higher in the rock or away just a little.

Well if you want to know what's currently going on here's the truth. Back before I got the 4 new Magnifica, everybody was doing well and pretty much thriving.

1 of the 4 new mags came in with a nasty infection that got everybody sick. So I'm currently treating quite a few at the same time.

The huge 12+" mag that I propagated had done well from the start, but ended up catching that infection from 1 of the 4 new mags. 1 half deflated and went down one day, and the other half caught it the next. Both were put in 10/G QT and ended up getting "cooked" by a heater. Temp was in low 90's!! I've been able to save them with Septra. Fixing to update that thread (H. Mag Propagation) with pics.

So the original one that caught the infection is still in QT. He's doing ok in untreated DT water under observation.

My Green Haddoni is almost through with treatment. After he has spawned twice, he hasn't been himself. He's deflated afterwards both times. Been able to treat him with Septra with amazing results. He'll be returning to DT shortly.

My favorite Mag with green tips and purple oral disc and tentacles has been in treatment since that 1 new one got him sick too. Just put him back in DT after 8 days of treatment with Cipro and Septra. After finishing treatment during his observation period, I noticed his tentacles were breaking off. I'm not sure why. His mouth was tight, but he's been simi deflated. He hasn't really got better OR worse. Not too sure what the deal is with him. He seems to be doing better in DT under the T5's with better water quality.

The first Propagation Mag had done well and was the very last to catch the infection being passed around. He's in a 5/G and doing very well now. He didn't respond to Septra, and I hit him with 500mg of Cipro. I perked right up. Doing awesome since. Almost done with treatment.

New South Asia mag is doing well. I figured since everybody was out of DT except Gigs, I would throw him in there. He's looking great as you see from the pics.

Ohh, and my yellow green hybrid gig was doing well until 3 clowns loved him to death. He deflated and is in treatment with the frags. He's already perking up with Septra. Looking good so far.

So yeah, 7 QT's and my DT. 4 10/G. 3 5/G.


These pics are a little old. I've changed lighting and improved the tanks since these pics, but you get the idea.




 
very nice! Current picture of the Display tank would be great. by the way, where do you get all these mags from?

Are these qt permanent or do you set it up when you need to use it?

Right now, I've been buying mags, treating them and getting them up to par, and then selling them for a decent profit.

I'm also looking for specific Magnifica and Gigantea to complete my display.

After I find the animals I'm looking for, I'll break some of the tanks down and stick them in my garauge. I live in an apartment, but have a garauge about 50 yards from my door where I can store a lot of aquarium stuff. I also work on aquarium stuff in there late at night with door shut so I don't disturb the neighbors.

So yeah, kinda permanent for right now.

GGGGGOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!

So, I'm going to highjack your thread for a minute here Jared. I missed the two yesterday, but noted that I received the email at 6:05PM EST. I had to run a few errands a town away today and was hoping to be home by 6. Well I didn't make it. I heard my phone beep with an email alert and glanced at it and saw it was my DD email. I opened it up (Country road with no oncoming traffic) and glanced at the Invert section and saw another Mag!. I whipped my truck over to the side of the road, towing a trailer with a mower on it and looked at the picture. Purple on Purple, exactly what I wanted. Had it in my cart and checked out by 6:08!!!

Going to make a call on Tuesday depending on how he arrives as to if he is going into his own QT or if I will add him to the QT I currently have my clowns in (They've been there for 4 weeks and haven't shown any signs of parasites). Either way I'm prepared for best case and worst case scenarios. Extremely happy I got to one before all the other vultures snagged him :bounce3:
