Hi guys,

Like I promised, I got my Canon S500 and I'm getting better at the manual mode and macro.

Here are some new pics of my tank, with it's 102 watts of power in just 9 1/2 gallons of H20...

Hope you enjoy....

Mike

Hi Nano angel,

I know that your tank will become like mine, because you are very patient and that's the very important in this hobby.

Thanks DJ,

I'm having trouble with my elegance coral, again.... He's not extending as much, and at night he retracts like as if he fed and brings in his tentacles.... Everything else is doing great...

The elegance still looks pretty close to the frogspawn. Could it still be getting stung? It could be starting to go, via the disease that Eric Borneman is trying to study as well. Good luck man. All your pics look great BTW.

sick!

man, that guy has over 9,000 posts. And that whole process is well thought out. I really hope he discovers what's up. I would have never thought that the elegance corals were going through so much drama. Mike you should consider taking it back, and picking something else, or if it's starts getting worse, sent it for research to that eric guy, cuz you know it'll die otherwise, and if it does, I guess you can send those too. He takes um dead or alive but prefers the alive ones from what I read. Well Mikey, keep your eyes peeled for something else. Take it easy.

Yes. Eric is one of the greats. If you've got much of an aquarium library you probably have a book by him. I believe he's a professor at the University of Houston, and he lives someplace in my neigborhood. I'm supposed to get together with him and a couple other guys that live in the area to go visit each persons house and see their tanks sometime soon. Should be fun in a real fish-geek kinda way. :lol:

Incysor - if you end up doing that, please let me know! I'd be happy to come along and also show off my tanks.

My elegance I believe has that disease. It lasted about 4 weeks in my tank before last week, starting to do all the symptoms of the diseased corals.

I noticed tonight, that it is now giving off the brown slim in small balls. I blew them off with the turkey baster. I'll see how long it last until it finally goes completely bad. All my other corals are doing great, a stronger indication that it's a disease just associated with the elegance corals.

I don't have the heart to donate it yet, as it hasn't fully gone so I want to keep it. But I will freeze it and send it to him in Houston when it dies.

P.S

I will not buy anymore elegance corals, should've listened the first time to Incysor, but hey you know how impulsive we are in this hobby.

Don't feel too bad Mike. I've got a pretty long "I shoulda listened to *" list.

If you can bring yourself to donate the live specimen I think it'll probably help a bit more than the dead one. Pay very close attention to the details on how to donate either type specimen. There have been several live, and dead corals sent that were useless because they were not treated/packed with the proper procedures.

Oh, me, me. Pick Me, meeeeeeeeee!

Really though, I would love to go on the tank tour. Not that a lot of people would want to come to my house, as far south as it is, just to see a 29 gal.
But I would be willing to go do the tour.

Hi Mike,
nice pics, tank looks great! i wish my digital elph (s110) could do that. :(

just wanted to comment on the proximity of the frogspawn and the crocea. you might want to watch out for signs of stress from the crocea, i think they are suceptible to coral stings.
