:shock: So I'm four polyps closer to getting a piece of that huh?
You sure are!
Cris, you called me out when I was at your house... the comment about how you can tell there is something wrong with someone's tank if they haven't posted a FTS in a while? LOL, well obviously I hadn't so here goes...
I had, *HAD*, one rock that was sprouting all sorts of macroalgaes and was really becoming a nuisance. Its the rock in the upper right of the tank...
So I bought a new piece of LR a few days ago, put it in a bucket with a power head and a heater, and tested the water for nitrates, nitrites and ammonia. There was never any measurable amounts of any of the 3 (no surprise as the rock was pretty clean and had no odor whatsoever even at the tank at the LFS). So tonight I put took out the problem rock along with breaking off a few small sections of other rocks that the macro had spread to and put in the new piece. Here are the "after" shots. Unfortunately (and obviously) everything was closed up but you can at least see the new aquascaping. I was able to get many of my "high-end" palys up off of the sand bed. I wasn't able to put anything on the old rock without fearing that the macros would overgrow them.
And here are a couple of shots of some new pieces that Cris gave me. There are more but I forgot to take pics of some of them.
The zoas on the left are from Cris and are a frag off of the monster zoa colony from his tank. Cris, did you say that this is likely the original frag that formed your colony?
Frogspawn...
And here are a couple just because!
Let me know what you think of the new rockwork! :thanks
Jesse
