Rubbish. my favourite shroom. Yes, i know it stings stuff Grape coral? - Scroll on LHS was 100% brown when I got it, its coloured up nicely, getting some yellow polyps on it. Octopus coral?

reef Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Its a caulastrea curvata i thought you just set up the tank? looks overstocked for a new tank.. acros in a new tank?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Heh, 70% of the rock is from pre-established tank-breakdowns, I havent added any new stock since my 3foot (which WAS overstocked), and the acros are both looking better than what they were when I got them about a 14 day mini-cycle.

davidb Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 is that clam from Tel? Looking good.. i think your ID's are a bit wrong... IMO the grape cpral is infact a Octopus coral and the octopus is a frogspawn... of course thats the problem with common names... hairy Acros look good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 IMO the grape cpral is infact a Octopus coral and the octopus is a frogspawn i thought the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markoshark Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Just wish I could take credit for the aquascaping It was mostly Bryan I'll be getting sand when the tank has finished cycling, just enough to hide the glass Although, i've already got shrooms attaching to the glass... gah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 ahh so it was bryan. haha Nah, leave it bare man! It looks mint with the Coraline, and as you said, shrooms are already attaching so just let them cover it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 i would put a thin layer of sand in it looks better JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Option two - Just have sand around the clams & the lobo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Your PhotoShop skills could do with some work! Option two - Just have sand around the clams & the lobo. If it is happy on the crate I wouldn't try and get it off, you could damage to foot. You could fill the egg crate up with sand to hide it, or stick some mushys or Zoas on it.

markoshark Posted December 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Nope, its a type of fish, the Niger Trigger / Odonus Niger (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=257) The puns that can come from it are outstanding, and not web-board safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camnbron Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 i'm going to be doing the same as well, thanks to my home-bodged phosphate reactor splitting and sending clouds of thick red crap flowing around my tank having to do a massive w/c and empty the sump out... grrr Sounds like you had better update this post there markoshark.. So, are you going to give miracle mud a try? If so, thats cool, it will be interesting to see how yours and reefs tanks go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
