Like that gorgeous little young'un blueface that Dave has :inlove: what a stunner! I'd love too!! lolI want a boy girl matched pair of reef safe blue faced angels Dom. They'd make a great Xmas present to me from you and Georgia so how about you breed something cool rather than Marty's silly suggestion.
How are the acros going, i spotted a little firetruck blob frag near your new SSC piece and it looks healthy and colorful.
lol A little bit of dullness from when I went away but things aren't doing too badly. I'm feeding a cube of mysis and three pinches of pellets a day now and the fish look GORGEOUS lol
The problem with getting any species to reef safe is it would take generations to breed out the instinct of food sources being coral lol. It would be an amazing project to under take though, with a genetic study in hand as well! I believe I can do it too lol I've got a visit to an aquaculture lab on Monday which is going to be fascinating!
I'll be honest, I haven't done much haha the tank is just sitting and chugging along at the moment as I have little income to do anything groovy at the moment lol
I'm thinking once I've got a bit of a foothold, I'm going to get myself a pair or harem of Great Barrier Reef Flame Angels and try and get them spawning
That diy food is my favorite part too bud:beer:At the moment I'm trying to feed it everyday but we'll say, because I'm lazy lol, it's 5-6 days out of the week
Mostly ocean nutrition mysis soaked in Selco Boost but I have some frozen mix prduct that I use every so often
There was/is two gorgeous flame angels currently living at Daves that I'd love to get my hands on! But we'll just have to see what happens!
haha I'm thinking about going down to the market and getting a list of fresh seafood to trial a mix:That diy food is my favorite part too bud:beer:
There is always something left for mike and his sea food eating friends
Plus...fish absolutely love it
haha if I had the money, I'd set up a commercial marine ornamental aquaculture business because there's nothing here in Aus!
Maybe I could become a geneticist and create one? :lolspin:
Tank and glass are much cleaner now!
The PE has gone through the roof with the removal of the AF trace elements, my thoughts are I simply don't have the stock levels to be able to uptake them properly so I'm just doing the component until it runs out then I'll add a quarter of the trace back to the dosingSounds great Dom, looking forward to more photos once you give the tank some time to adjust to the halides.
I've also done ~50% water change in the last two weeks as well which will be a large factor in the pe increase too Still got a whiles to go but getting there. I have much more motivation for the tank again which is really helping
Good as always! I'm hoping to get another t. crocea at some point
one of the really pretty ones from AcroAl and a black and white lightening t. maxima!Still got a very long way to go Matt but the tank is free of the acro eating devils, I went through and thoroughly inspected every acro with a magnifying glass yesterday
Things are definitely heading in the right direction and hopefully in a month or two when I have some cash again and a new job (current one is at it's end, the head chef is a @&%#$ and they're only giving me one shift a week lol) I'll be doing a little more awesome stocking and getting a variety of the STUNNING Generation 2 frags from Sustainable Reef's. A few fish I want to pick up as well It's definitely the most motivated I've been about the tank in a while!
It was indeed great to catch upIt was great catching up today Dom, spending a few hours at Dave's with some mates......... priceless :thumbsup:
Won't take you long to clean the reef up now the radium is over it again
It's always fun pestering Dave for a few hours! I've been much MUCH more active with the reef and live of late and the tank is loving the extra attention. Batch of testing and water change are on the cards for today You, the shallows and I are all very glad for it
I'm testing salinity every day, Alk every 2-3 days and everything else once a week For the 6 fish I have I'm trying to feed a cube of mysis a day and bare minimum 3 pellet feeds but sometimes as much as 10 lol. When I get some time on a Friday or Saturday morning I'm going to go down to our local market and pick up a bunch of fresh seafood and start trialing some food mixes and try and figure out the probiotic mix that is used in the LRS food mixes! Frozen food here in Aus is very very unreliable at the moment
