 Topic: 300g Marineland Starphire
Posted: August 07 2010 at 7:45pm |
This one is for Jeff, oh and everyone else that was at the meeting. This is great here it goes, I will update this thread every week for a few weeks with a video of the tank. The tank is coming up on 4 weeks of up and running and most of the stuff is new since Wednesday. Here is a list of what is new from Wednesday. The items that came in on Wednesday came from Fiji and were transhipped to Utah please remember that Fiji wild acros are hard to keep alive and do not handle well when shipped for long periods of time.
Corals:
10 Wild LG-XLG Fiji Acros
12 Cultured Fancy Acros
2 cultured Montipora
2 Wild montipora
2 chalices mycedium
2 purple plates
1 orange carnation
3 sea fans
1 xenia
15 zoanthid colonies
Fish:
5 Squamipinnis anthias
5 Dispar Anthias
2 Dartfish Scissortail
1 Orange Spot Rabbitfish
1 Blue Unicorn Tang
1 Moorish Idol
1 Vlamingi tang
This tank already had fish and corals in them since the 3rd day it was set up. The fish list so far in this tank.
1 Foxface Fiji
3 Purple Queen Anthias
6 Purple Firefish
6 Firefish
1 Goldrim tang
1 Powder Blue tang
2 Blue Hippo Tang
1 Royal Gramma
1 Purple Pseudochromis
1 Racoon Butterfly
2 Per Clownfish
2 False Percs
2 Black and white clowns
1 Radient Wrasse
1 Exquiste Wrasse
2 Multi Banded Pipefish
Oh I am sure I missed more but that is all I can think of at this time. The point of this thread is to show that when set up right the tank can handle a heavy change as long as the owner makes the correct changes for the tank as well. I will post a video of the tank every week to show that everything is doing fine. There are a few things that had problems in the old tank but are doing better now, bowerbanki acans, wellsophyllias, rhizos, leathers and a few other things.

Well just about everything in the whole tank passed away. The blue slimer? It is a green slimmer with blue coralites, or so it is right now, there are a few really nice blue pieces that came in. I will have frags of them all here within a month once they heal up. They are kinda touchy right now and I am sure fragging them wont make it any better. The tank is crystal clear right now and everything is doing well. I have great ployp extension on every SPS and the LPS are doing great, only problem is the dang zoanthids are not opening very much.
The levels as of today are:
KH 12.0
Ca 490
MG 1350
SR 28
No2 0
No3 25
Po4 0
NH4 0

The green slimmer in front or the tort in the back? The tort in the back is very light in color and has blueish green coralites on it and then a blue/ green base.
