Well, many of you haven't seen or heard from me on here for a while. I (much like everyone else) have been super busy and just haven't had the time. Well between school/new baby/work there isn't much time left over for the tank. On a request of someone for a piece of coral, I made my way to my neglected frag tank. Over the past 4-5 months the tank has turned from a frag tank to a coral reef because I haven't had the time to cut things back and everything has been growing like crazy. I would like to say that I have checked and maintained all the levels of my tank over the past month since the baby was born, but then I wouldn't be Crappy Reef Member #2. Anyway, I took this picture for a member on this forum just a few days ago  If you look closely in the top left side of the picture you can see were the green slimmer has touched the baby blue-tipped stag and begun to RTN. I personally didn't notice this until the next day when I was looking at the photo. I went down to my frag tank only to find that the RTN had spread like wildfire throughout the tank. Hopefully the RTN has run its course for now. Now I have a pile of coral as a reminder that I need to spend a little more time with my tanks. Luckily I only have a few more weeks of school before I am finished.  On the bright side, I no longer am running out of space.  ------------- Original Crappy Reef Club Member #2 |

Nice looking corals. For being busy (and knowing that this doesn't happen magically without doing anything) you have done some nice work!
Someday, I hope to be able to keep SPS like this to frag and share. But that will have to wait until I can keep it alive in my main tank.  ------------- 28g Cube http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23030" rel="nofollow - Beginners Guide to Saltwater Aquariums Brandon in West Jordan |

dead or alive? j/k I sell the slimmer frags for $10 an inch (from my main tank), but I do have a few mini-colonies that I might be able to sell when I know everything is done dying. ------------- Original Crappy Reef Club Member #2 |
