Jon Fishman Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Well. Everything is going smoothly and the zoas are spreading, the Devil’s hand that I didn’t even know was alive until it started stretching for light is getting bigger, and has some nice pink coloration to it now. The leather stuff looks really healthy although I don’t much care for it. So........ My daughter talked me into making P-Diddy (Now perhaps an Orange Tailed puffer??? not a spotted sharpnose..... not sure still) no longer the sole fish in the tank. So I added a pair of clowns my daughter picked out. Edited March 24, 2019 by Jon Fishman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Fishman Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 So (don't do this) I added 1-cup of peroxide to my 75g/30g sump and turned off the lights, and expected to come back in town and pull the dead fish out, dry-out the rocks, and empty the tank and start over....... and my algae/dinos were gone. Nitrates at 7, Nitrites-0, PH at 8.4, and I forget the rest.....but all is great in the tank now..... if I see anything coming back I will drop the light cycle down.

Jon Fishman Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Anemone is pretty irritated that I dropped new corals in, and he is up in the corner sitting on a powerhead. The corals aren’t opened yet (well, I haven’t been home in 14 hours) Either way. some current views from before I left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fishman Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Picked up some Green Star and some more zoa's today..... both opened up nicely before I went to work, so that was nice...... I'm getting a bit worried about the Frogspawn though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fishman Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Got a neon hammer, slimer, and two little frags I don’t remember the names of. Pictures once I get them acclimated and placed! Muttley000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fishman Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Ok. What are they?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fishman Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Also..... My other two are in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fishman Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 I assured my girlfriend the orange one wasn’t called “Spotted Dick” and it wasn’t a British food. They said “digit-something “ I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buk Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The top one could be a Montipora Digitata although it looks so ticked off it's hard to tell. The bottom one is a poccilopora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fishman Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Top one, now looks fuzzy/hairy. Picture was right after I placed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sps that is easy to grow, likes light and flow. Will grow in a tight bush like colony. Not my picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fishman Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Nice.... I do remember them showing me a larger colony when I asked what it was. It had started to grow inside the egg-craye in their tank so the bottow got no light. color is slowly creeping into the rest of it, so I am guessing it will be a strong grower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonvice Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Yeah grows fast for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom one is a poccilopora. So it’s better. Also got a few more things. The plate is a monti of some sort, superman-something. The monti broke when he tried to get it off of the crate it was growing into, so I placed the smaller piece in a different area of the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Fishman Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 The before and after. My devil’s hand was actually hanging upside-down and I thought it was dead. I decided to keep it when I setup the tank not knowing what it was or if it were alive. It is doing well today Not in correct order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fishman Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 O.K. I'm hooked..... I just volunteered for a bit of Over-Time to help me justify a tank upgrade..... My brother is handy with a welder and he's gonna help me knock out a steel-square tubing stand. I am only planning on going up to 135 gallons, 8' long. Still working on where to get the tank from..... crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a place for custom acrylics in "Butler" PA, I think it's within a few hours.... so probably borrow a truck and go that route.
