KP Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 About time I did another post. Did a bit of an aquascape when I pulled out big moma damsel. I like the right hand side but the left needs a rehaul. Put a bit of sand in to please the anemone but hasn't really taken to it. Get some more sometime. Full Tank Shot Side Shot (Easily distracting while sitting at desk) Tom in his LTA (Looks a bit sick, hope it can pull through) Ato in her Bubble coral Angie is a bit camera shy at the moment Frogspawn and Hairy Mushies Hardies Brain Purple and pink pokadots *Echinopora* Fuzzy green ??? Sorry for the dodgy pics, cheap fuji camera. :-? Also can you correct me on my ID's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I would get some reefbooster for that Anemone it looks very bleached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeBlog Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I don't think that coral is a Purple and pink pokadots montipora cap, but rather some sort of chalice??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Oh right, I havn't got and reference books on me, so gave it a stab in the dark by what I have seen on the web :roll: :roll: Chalice, anyone second that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 It's definitely not a cap. It looks like an Echinopora (chalice) to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracker Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Looking good KP, How deep is it again...looks deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Keep up the good work. I would feed the anemone well while it is recovering it looks like H crispa mine came back from a bleached state but it took a long time. Don't be in a hurry when your sand goes yuk it comes good in it's own time. I upset the sand in the cube and it went yuk but slowly coming good.

KP Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I have been told it is a Macrodactyla doreensis, it has a red/orange foot. Aparently they like their foot in the sand but this one is digging yet. Tank is 700mm deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmatix Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I hate this one, i think and i may very well be wrong that that pink polkadots is Oxypora sp ( very nice example though) what i think of as Echinopora is a very thin scraoll or challice cup. Like i said may very well be wrong Great to see the stock you guys got from the shop finally up. Looks awesome Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Yip could well be Oxypora or Echinophyllia too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the chalice or the Oxypora or scraoll? (me thinking it was a montipora :roll: ) Thats deep The glass Greg was using was 700, so he would of had to chop it down to any other length, so it ended up pretty cheap to leave it at 700mm. Which is has a nice range of light from acros at the top and mushies at the bottom. Aquascaping is a bit more tricky and it's lucky I have long arms to reach the botttom :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drifty Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 looks good what is covering your streams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 coming along well! what is covering your streams? no offence but whatever it is it looks ugly plus manual says you have to clean regularly, fine tolerances for the covers and the amount of water they intake. can effect/wear out motor quicker if flow in is restricted. you'd be better off dialing them down (if controllable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I lost an anemone to a stream so I did the same thing as rossco and put Novaflow around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
