Rubbermaid Reef

[RogueReefer]

My wife will not let me dispose of my corallivorous long spined urchin named Ernesto. Thankfully SPS are not to his taste. Hence I've decided to create a home for my least favorite echinoderm. It's as classy as a mobile home on the wrong side of the tracks--a Rubbermaid 50 gallon tub in my secret subterranean coral research facility. Ernesto, however, won the lottery and blew the money on an MP40, a pair of Kessil A350Ws and a trio of BRS dosing pumps. I suppose that I should throw some rocks in there.

'Tis not a joke. To my wife, this is a special place for her beloved urchin. For me, this is an excuse to buy a bunch of frags. This is upper level stuff here, blackperc!

New SPS from LEAR Frag Fest acclimating to the LEDs.

From Jason Fox:

Cooler's Champagne acro
Tyree Setting Sun yellow polyp monti cap
Jason Fox Rainbow Monti
Tyree Pink Lemonade
Jason Fox Papa Smurf

From Tidal Gardens:
Sunset monti

Goby prefers the red Monti with yellow polyps.

How are the gobies doing with the SPS? I hear the irritate/nip at polyps once and while.

 

[RogueReefer]

In three short hours Ernesto ATE Papa Smurf, stripped off corallites and tissue from one branch of the pink lemonade, then pooped on the Sunset Monti while eating off its edges. Did someone just ask me if the gobies irritate the SPS?

 

[RogueReefer]

Papa Smurf, you held out to the very end--never revealing the location of Jason Fox's Smurf Village. As a side note, I clearly missed my calling as a hand model.

 

[RogueReefer]

Mrs. RogueReefer felt that this was amusing. While laughing she noted that Papa Smurf must have been delicious. Time to randomly post pictures of Mrs. RogueReefer in this thread for entertainment.
